As well as containing only one to two grams of sugar per bar, the Quest Snack Bars are packed with 10 grams of protein and are low in net carbs—just five grams per bar. The [crunchy, low-sugar bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protein-crunchy-bar) are launching in a mix of sweet and salty flavors like Peanut Chocolate Crunch, Sea Salt Caramel and Cranberry Trail Mix, which are made with nourishing nuts like peanuts and almonds. Although snack bars are usually created for on-the-go snacking, Quest Nutrition is positioning these ones as better-for-you snacks that can be squeezed into a busy day at home, such as between video calls or a living room workout.
