Quest Nutrition : Quest Hero Bar Bars

Quest Nutrition is the brand that revolutionised the market for protein bars with their phenomenally popular Quest Bars but in recent years it is fair to say that Quest Bars have lost some of their lustre due to endless reformulations that did not always go down well with their customers. More recently, Quest appear to have fixed the issues in their original bar and now seem intent on matching the likes of Carb Killa Bars with their latest protein bar offering, the Quest Hero Bars.

Quest Hero Bars Review

The first thing to know about the Quest Hero Bar is that unlike multiple UK brands such as Grenade, PhD, and USN to name just three, Quest have stuck to their guns by insisting only on the highest quality forms of protein isolates from whey and milk protein. You will NOT find any inferior proteins such as soy or collagen in their Hero Bar!

What's the best Quest Hero Bars flavour?

A question we get a lot, well our office are fans of Quest Caramel Pecan and with it being unique to this variant, and not available either the original Quest Bar or the new Quest Snack Bars that is all the more reason to try it.

Quest Hero Bars Texture and Mouthfeel

Put aside what a Quest Bar tastes like as Hero Bars taste nothing like them. These bars have a unique texture, the closest comparison being the Quest Beyond Cereal Bar rather than the thick, doughy texture of the Quest Bar, but the key difference with the Hero Bar is the flavours are more fun, more indulgent and they have the genuine candy bar style flavour that makes them superior to anything else Quest have put out there before.

Best of all, they avoid one of the criticisms of the original Quest Bar, namely that they are easier to eat, and don't sit so heavy in your gut once you have eaten one. Each bar has the same type of coating you will have seen from the likes of the Combat Crunch or Carb Killa but as stated already SUPERIOR macros.

New Sweetener Equals Superior Taste

Perhaps the defining feature of the Hero Bars is their use of the innovative sweetener allulouse, something which Quest have indicated is their sweetener of choice for the future and which certainly gives the Hero Bar a better level of sweetness than any other Quest Bar. These actually resemble the taste you would expect from a sugary bar but with the benefit that of course it is not based on sugar at all. This has none of the aftertaste some complain about with the likes of soluble corn fibre, IMO, sucralose and other sweeteners seen from Quest before.

Ultimately, with their Quest Hero Bars, Quest Nutrition have put themselves back on the map as a protein bar company. While some may wish for a smidgen more protein per bar than the 15g in these we would content that given the quality of the protein, 15g from a Quest Hero Bar will be superior for recovery as well as your physique than some blend of soy protein and collagen which is capable of producing a high amount of protein per bar but at the expense of much of that protein being insufficient in the right amino acids to help build a better physique.

When you add in the fact that this bar tastes as good as anything from other brands using inferior protein sources, there really is no question that Quest have succeeded in a big way with Hero Bars.
