Product Review: Quest Labs Keto Milk Chocolate Bar

If you keep up with the protein buzz, you might have heard of Quest Labs. It's a program you have to sign up for and you gain access to purchase some of Quest Nutrition's upcoming products. I was super excited because I love Quest bars and protein products and have been purchasing them for years. They had a little slip with the formula change a while ago, but I think they're back on track.

I immediately "applied"(?) and was accepted into the program. After that, I waited a while because I was hesitant to spend money on experimental products lol! After reading a few positive reviews, I finally caved and bought the Keto milk chocolate bar, one each of the three new flavors and one each of the protein crunch bars (reviews to come).

Here's what I thought about the Keto milk chocolate bar:


Immediately upon tasting, it had a weird, somewhat gritty texture and an odd flavor. It was some sort of chocolate flavor, but not your typical milk chocolate flavor. However, I did feel compelled to eat another piece, and another. Weird. It's very sweet and TOTALLY reminded me of something I've eaten before but I cannot, for the life of me, put my finger on it! Ah well. 


So, if you're a chocolate addict and following a Keto diet or low sugar diet, then go for it. It's pretty tasty. On the other hand, if you don't follow a strict diet and you want some silky smooth, rich chocolate, I'd go with Lindt lol! 

Macros for entire bar:
240 calories 23f/12c/6p and No Sugar!

Rating as a chocolate bar: 5/10
Rating as a keto/no sugar friendly chocolate bar: 7/10

Gut Healthy Gummy Bears! Keto Friendly

Image
Team Sour or Team Sweet? I'm team sour all the way! These gummies are surprisingly easy to make if you have a gummy bear mold (they're very inexpensive on amazon!) and they have the gut-health benefits of prebiotic fiber and gelatin! First they're sour, then they're sweet. Ingredients: 40g VitaFiber IMO syrup  1 tbsp gelatin liquid stevia to taste (I used orange stevia) 1/2 cup water Directions: Heat the mixture on the stove until bubbling.  Use the dropper to fill the gummy bear molds.  Place in fridge until set.  Just before eating, toss the gummy bears in a mixture of citric acid powder, and granulated sweetener of choice (I used a monk fruit/erythritol blend).  Voila! Sour gummies!

Keto Meringues! Sugar Free!

Image
I recently had the idea to make Meringue cookies and my curiosity was piqued at the idea of making sugar free meringue cookies. I wondered if it would work!  3 calories a piece?! I'll take 10!  I took to Google, and to my surprise there were recipes with Splenda, erythritol, stevia and beyond! I decided to try my hand at sugar free meringues with an erythritol based sweetener I just purchased recently. The brand is Swerve and I purchased it from Luckyvitamin.com. It claims to have no aftertaste! Meringues can be a bit tricky to set up due to humidity and given that it was a hot August day in North Carolina, I think they turned out pretty well! The texture was good on most of them but a few of them were still a bit soft in the middle.  Factors working against me: I didn't have enough egg whites I didn't have cream of tartar I was attempting sugar free I didn't have parchment paper Humidity You may be thinking, why even bother? Well, I don
