Homemade Quest Protein Bars

Homemade Quest Protein Bars

A while back I wrote a blog post on the famous Quest Protein Bars and listed as well as tasted all the different varieties at the time. (A tasty blog post I must say).

Today I want to introduce and teach you how to DESIGN and CREATE your own Homemade Quest Protein Bars to save money and save calories/Macronutrients.

Quest Bars are great but at $2-3 per bar, the price can really add up quick, especially if eating them everyday.

The secret ingredient

The ingredient that allows the protein bars to be LOW carb and chewy (binder) is a syrup called Vita-Fiber. You can purchase it here.

The Syrup contains IMO, a high quality isomalto-oligosaccharide, made from starch. It is a dietary fiber, prebiotic, and low-calorie sweetener.

The Recipes

Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bar:

– 55g Vita-fiber

– 30g Chocolate Whey Protein Powder (for BEST results use a whey that contains concentrate NOT just isolate)

– 2 Tsp. Protein Plus Peanut Flour

– 1 Tsp. Unsweetened cocoa Powder

Method:

1. Heat the Vita-Fiber for 35 seconds in the microwave or pan until you see it bubble

2. Add in the rest of the ingredients and mix thoroughly

3. Form in a silicone loaf pan into a bar like shape

4. Place into the fridge or freezer to let it sit for 1 hour, or less if using the freezer

NOTE: You can use many different ingredients and flavourings to your protein bars and the creative possibilities are endless. Just remember to add the extra macros for them.
