Yes you’ve heard it.. how to make your own Quest bars at home!!<\/p>\n
If you’ve never heard of Quest bars then you can read my full review of them [here]<\/a> but (in my opinion) they are the ultimate ‘clean’ protein bar.. the ingredients list is faultless and they taste AMAZING .. BUT.. they are rather expensive.. which is why I couldn’t wait to make them at home thanks to Simon from The Diet Kitchen!<\/a>\u00a0Simon is a genius (hope your head isn’t too big now!!) and you can check out his YouTube video showing you how to make these bars [here] <\/a>or by scrolling down to the end of this blog post!<\/p>\n I worked out that each of these ‘Homemade Quest Bars’ comes in at just 88p each, as opposed to \u00a32.79, they contain fewer ingredients and the macronutrient stats are really similar; 206 Kcal and 24g protein for homemade vs. 180 Kcal and 21g protein for the real thing.<\/p>\n These bars are made from literally TWO ingredients.. Whey Protein Powder\u00a0<\/a>& VitaFiber<\/a>\u00a0(plus optional extras.. see below!). If you’ve never heard of VitaFiber before (and I hadn’t either until the other day), it’s\u00a0<\/strong>a low calorie sweetener and prebiotic fibre which is the SECRET ingredient in many popular protein bars – including Quest Bars<\/a>! VitaFiber tastes sweet and is\u00a0poorly digested in the human digestive tract, thus providing fewer calories (1.5 kcal\/g) overall.<\/p>\n The bars taste amazing and my taste tester even said ‘did you make these??’ – in a sarcastic tone, meaning ‘wow I’m impressed’ .. (!!).\u00a0SO, if you want to make your own Quest Bars at home keep on scrolling.. I would love to hear what your favourite combinations are!<\/p>\n Nutrition stats shown are minus any Quest Bar additions!<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n White Chocolate Protein & Coconut | Cookies & Cream with Nuts | Vanilla Protein with PB & Jam!<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n[ingredients]\n *VitaFiber<\/a>\u00a0SYRUP (NOT the powder!) is the magic ingredient and thanks to\u00a0MuscleFood\u00a0<\/a>it is now available in the UK – use code\u00a0NIC5<\/strong>\u00a0for 5% off! Use 55g if you’re adding a dry ingredient such as nuts\/coconut to the mix. **I used\u00a0MyProtein in Cookies & Cream, White Chocolate and Vanilla<\/a>\u00a0as well as\u00a0Protein Lifestyle in Smooth Chocolate<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n ***If you’re adding a liquid such a jam use 5g more protein powder (35g total) – I used a reduced sugar jam and\u00a0nuts ‘n more peanut butter\u00a0<\/a>which is AMAZING – thanks Simon for that recipe combo!<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n[method]\n <\/p>\n *If you don’t heat the VitaFiber<\/a>\u00a0first then the bar will remain very soft even after being chilled in the fridge – heat it up first for a proper Quest Bar texture!<\/em><\/p>\n
