Quest Nutrition is introducing Quest Peanut Butter Cups so that people can enjoy the perfect pairing of peanut butter and chocolate without having to feel guilty about enjoying a sweet treat. Each serving of two peanut butter cups has less than a gram of sugar, plus the sweet snack shares the benefits of 11 grams of protein and just a single gram of net carbs.
While there are many people who are interested in reducing or avoiding sugar completely, Quest is on a mission to support people, no matter what their health goals are. As Linda Zink, Chief Marketing Officer for Quest Nutrition, says: "Our goal is to disrupt all the food categories people crave with better-for-you options that offer low sugar, low net carbs and high quality, complete protein."
