Dessert-Inspired Protein Bars

The New Quest Hero Protein Bars Contain Just 200 Calories Each

— July 6, 2017 — Lifestyle
The new Quest Hero protein bars sound too tasty to be healthy but are formulated to be an effective option to curb hunger and offer a snack after workouts. The new bars come in three flavor options including Blueberry Cobbler, Chocolate Caramel Pecan and Vanilla Caramel, which makes them sound more like desserts than healthy protein meal supplement bars.

The Quest Hero protein bars have been announced alongside a marketing campaign featuring professional athlete Gabby Douglas to highlight the delicious yet healthy nature of the snacks. Each one contains Allulose over traditional sugar, which is almost calorie-free, has about 70% of the sweeteners of traditional sugar and helps to keep the carb level of each bar low.
Trend Themes
1. Dessert-inspired Protein Bars - Opportunity for creating protein bars that mimic the flavors and indulgent experience of desserts while still being healthy and effective in curbing hunger.
2. Alternative Sweeteners - Potential to develop protein bars using alternative sweeteners like Allulose that are low in calories and provide a sweet taste without compromising on health.
3. Celebrity Endorsements - Incorporating celebrity endorsements, like with Gabby Douglas, to promote the healthiness and tastiness of protein bars and reach a wider audience.
Industry Implications
1. Health and Wellness - Opportunity for the health and wellness industry to create and market protein bars as a satisfying and nutritious alternative to traditional desserts and snacks.
2. Food and Beverage - Disruptive innovation opportunity in the food and beverage industry to develop and market protein bars with dessert-like flavors that appeal to health-conscious consumers.
3. Sports and Fitness - Potential for the sports and fitness industry to leverage protein bars as a post-workout snack that not only aids in muscle recovery but also satisfies cravings for sweet indulgence.
