New Quest Bar Flavors!

I eat a lot of protein bars, probably more than I should! However, they are a convenient quick protein source that many people turn to. If you're one of those people, no doubt, you've heard of Quest bars. They had a big following, changed their recipe not too long ago, and some were not happy. They've also been coming out with a lot of new products and flavors. They even have a program you can apply for called Quest Labs where you have access to products not for sale to the general public yet. The Quest Labs community reviews it on a forum and then Quest may tweak the product and release it or choose not to. I've been a member and tried quite a few of the products. I actually tried all three new flavors before they hit shelves, but they're available to everyone now!

The three new flavors are Blueberry Muffin, Oatmeal Chocolate Chip, and Rocky Road.


Blueberry Muffin: 190cal 22c/6f/21p

The blueberry muffin flavor is a favorite to many Quest customers. The aroma when you unwrap it is exactly like a blueberry muffin. It's dense and soft like most Quest bars. It has chunks of blueberries and what Quest refers to as "chewy cobbler inclusions". Whatever they are, they taste delicious. I really liked this bar but I like chocolate chunks more than muffins. XD

 Oatmeal Chocolate Chip: 190cal 22c/8f/20p

This has to be my favorite of the three new flavors and possibly my favorite of all time. It is soft and chewy but not taffy-like. Most of the ones I've had, have had a generous amount of big chocolate chunks. The taste is like an oatmeal cookie, sweet but not too sweet, with a hint of cinnamon. I love this one!

Rocky Road: 210cal 9f/20c/20p

The latest addition to the Quest line up is a chocolate based bar with almonds and white chunks. It got varying reviews in the Quest labs program but I believe they've tweaked the recipe. It has a nice chocolatey flavor as a base and sweet white chunks which look like white chocolate chunks but with a more marshmallow flavor. I'm glad they didn't go for a marshmallow texture. I really liked the crunch of the nuts as well. Overall, pretty good but not my favorite. For some reason, chocolate based bars never really wow me that much but if you like the brownie Quest bar, this is like the next level and it bakes into delicious rocky road cookies.

Overall, I've really enjoyed the new flavors and products that Quest has been releasing and I can't wait to see what they come up with next!

Do you supplement your diet with protein bars? What's your favorite? Have you tried the new Quest flavors? Let me know!

Product Review: Tru Fru

Image
If you dip anything in chocolate it's instantly 10x better, right? I like freeze dried fruit and I like  love chocolate so combining the two is a recipe for success!  That's what Tru Fru has done.  The fruit is harvested fresh, freeze dried to lock in the majority of the vitamins, taste, and nutrition. The fruit is then coated in rich chocolate for a snack that is both nutritious and indulgent tasting! You don't have to choose between a nutritious snack or a tasty treat. You can have both in one. That's the concept, so let's get taste-testing! They have several different varieties including: Raspberries, Cherries, Coconut Melts, Strawberries, Bananas, and Cranberries. I first tried the Strawberry variety because chocolate covered strawberries are classic! I really liked it! The dark chocolate coating was smooth and rich while the freeze dried strawberry interior was crunchy and sweet with a slight tang. I found this to be perfectly balanced with

Must Read List

Have you been spending more time at home? Have you finished your entire list on Netflix? If the answer to these is Yes, you might be looking for some ways to fill your time. I personally love to read, especially while laying out in the sunshine. So I thought I would share some of my all time, must read books! I'm a fan of fiction so these books are all fiction! Longtime Favorite:  A Separate Peace I read this book as a freshman in high school and it never left me. The emotions are so piercing and the story so unique that I never forgot it.  Classic:  The Picture of Dorian Gray Thought provoking, emotive, and relatable to the core - this timeless classic will have you turning pages.  Female Must Read:  The Bell Jar Sylvia Plath captures a character that reached deep within my soul. It touches on mental health, feminism and more all while being extremely readable, imo.  Lived Up to the H ype:  The Fault in Our Stars John Green is a master story-teller and this book lived up to the hy
