They said that this protein bar couldn’t be made but we finally did it.
It’s healthy food that makes no compromises. Just read our ingredients and you’ll see.
Quest is the first bar you can eat guilt FREE
To bring you a protein bar this healthy and delicious, we had to create a whole new process for creating bars. Quest Bars are so revolutionary, in fact, that we've filed two patents. You won't see anything else like it on the market. Quest is the first truly low carb protein bar that doesn't contain glycerin, simple carbs, uses no sugar, and is completely junk-free. That's why you can eat Quest bars everyday without feeling guilty.

Lose Weight-and Keep It Off-on a High-Protein Diet
Lose Weight-and Keep It Off-on a High-Protein DietEvidence shows that high-protein, low-carb diets aren't just a fad
Researchers found that women on a high-protein diet kept more weight off at the end of a year than women on a high-carb dietWeight-loss diets that push protein and restrict carbohydrates have become increasingly popular in the past decade, but do they work? This study says they can. Researchers found that women on a high-protein diet kept more weight off at the end of a year than women on a high-carb diet.High protein = high rewards
In the never-ending quest to lose extra weight, ideas about the best way to diet come and go. Low-fat diets that emphasize carbohydrates (typically starches and grains) were the standard not long ago, but more recently there has been a shift to low-carb diets that emphasize protein. A number of studies have found that carbohydrate restriction can lead to more rapid weight loss than low-fat diets, but findings from other studies suggest that this difference evens out after one to two years.
The new study followed overweight women between ages 40 and 58 for a year after they finished a three-month weight-loss program:
either a high-protein diet, with 34% of calories from protein, 46% from carbohydrate, and 20% from fat,
or a high-carb diet, with 64% of calories from carbohydrate, 17% from protein, and 20% from fat.
At the end of the year, the women who managed to keep their protein portion up had more sustained weight loss: about 14 pounds (6.5 kg), compared with about 8 pounds (3.6 kg) for those eating the high-carb diet.
It is interesting to note that markers of heart health improved in women on both diets, including total cholesterol, LDL and HDL cholesterol, glucose, insulin, C-reactive protein, and homocysteine levels. These changes were associated with weight loss, but not with the protein content of their diet, suggesting that the road to weight loss might not be as important as the weight loss itself for keeping the heart healthy.

Comments about Quest Nutrition Banana Nut Muffin Bars:
Always a sweet tooth, I have been trying to stay away from sweets and candy. Luckily, Quest bars have amazing flavors that make it easy. If you love bananas then you will love this bar. I use it as a snack during the day at work if I know I won't be able to have a proper meal anytime soon. It's very filling and satisfies my sweets cravings. I also will have one in the evening after a workout.

I love a Quest Nutrition bar with my coffee and protein shake in the morning, especially when I'm in a hurry and don't have time to cook.
I also carry them with me everywhere so I'm sure to never miss a mini-meal or post-workout snack.- Gender:

Comments about Quest Nutrition Banana Nut Muffin Bars:
Great product for a healthy snack! I love all Quest bars, this is one of my favorites. I love that it actually has whole nuts in it too! They taste best when they're a little warm, so sometimes I like to put it in microwave for 10 seconds. Keeping it out of a cold place also helps it from hardening too.

Comments about Quest Nutrition Banana Nut Muffin Bars:
Just looking at the bar made me sick to my stomach. When I tasted it, I about threw up. It tastes like raw dough that's beens sitting out. I couldn't even finish 1/2 of a bar.

Comments about Quest Nutrition Banana Nut Muffin Bars:
These bars have 2 grams of sugar, approximately 15 grams of fiber, and only 6 grams of sugar alcohol but they don't use sucralose.
These bars taste so good you actually end up craving them, they are phenomenal for dieting and trying to make cuts.
If I could afford to have them just as a hold me over snack, as a way to boost my protein intake then I would buy them by the box full. However at 25-30 bucks a box I eat all 12 within a week maybe a week in a half. So not much of a bang for your buck, but the product in itself as advertised being made with all natural ingredients, using hardly any sugar alcohol but still managing to taste way better than any other protein bar I've had that uses sugar alcohols to give the product a good taste. Essentially an amazing product, just over my budget.- Gender:
