Quest Nutrition has announced its latest and greatest protein bars in the form of the Quest Overload Bars, which are each inspired by classic desserts with ample taste and texture in every bite.
The protein bars come in the Sundae Fundae, Cookie Commotion and Chocolate Explosion flavor options to choose from that are each packed with texture ingredients. The bars are also paired with flavorful drizzle-style finishes on the exterior coating that help to further position them as dessert-inspired treats.
The Quest Overload Bars each have 20-grams of protein with one-gram of sugar and under four-grams of net carbs per serving. The products respond to changing consumers habits when it comes to snacking and their daily protein intake.
