Quantum is a Santa Monica-based company that manufactures coffee-infused Energy Squares. The product is largely focused on performance and a healthy lifestyle. As a result, Quantum's snacks rely on a balanced recipe of macronutrients, clean and whole ingredients. In addition, the caffeinated bars are low on sugar and boast 10 grams of protein per bar (48 grams). They do not contain any gluten or soy and are vegan-friendly. These features allow Quantum to target a wide range of diets with its Energy Squares.
One coffee-infused bar is equal to one shot of espresso and the brand offers four flavors — 'Dark Chocolate Almond with Cherries,' 'Crunchy Peanut Butter with Chocolate,' 'Caffe Mocha Macchiato with Almonds,' and 'Coconut with Roasted Almonds.'
