I am on an on going journey to find the best way to lose weight with a gastric bypass. Although my tool helps me lose the weight, we still have to eat. And being that food is mighty tasty I still have to monitor what goes in my mouth. So here is a blog of wonderful delicious things I will review sometimes I will add a video to go with it. I am starting this blog because some people just don't want to watch a 30 minute video on the different cheeses I might like this week. Therefore a few informative sentences here will do just the trick. Welcome and thanks for coming along for the ride.. <3
Quest Bars: There will be videos to upload with this vlog, but my internet at the moment sucks for uploading so those will be added later.
I have tried: (all sent to me by quest) Where to get your quest fix!
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (must be nuked at 10-15 seconds)
Cookies and Cream (good cold or hot)
Lemon Cream Pie (cold didn't like it hot)
White Chocolate Raspberry (needed to be nuked 25 seconds)
Strawberry Cheesecake (was good cold)
I have many go to though but for today these will be enough for the first installment.
Let me explain why I am only now reviewing these wonder bars, I bought a varity pack before my surgery in August of 2013. The texture put me off the moment i bit into them, the texture was eh... I didn't know back then you could warm them up. And the apple pie was the first one i put in my gullet. Therefore I know that is one that needs to be warmed up to taste its best. I immediately tossed the entire box thinking they would all suck. I am a very picky eater, and once i have it in my mind I will hate something its very hard for me to change my mind.
Now then since my surgery my taste buds have changed, this is true. Since then I have been sent a few bars from friends who have wanted me to review them. They are delicious everyone so far that I have opened is good, maybe some of them need to be warmed to reach their full taste potential but its certainly worth the added effort.
The pros:
Amazing amount of protein in each bar has 20+ grams
Net carbs are always low 3g normally
Uses sugar alcohols instead of actual sugar
Low on the glycemic index for diabetics
Easy on the pouch (thats important)
Great source of energy for when you work out
Satisfying taste for when the sugar monster comes calling!
Cons:
The price between $2.49 with a GNC club card, to $2.99 per bar. Quest bars at GNC
The fact you cannot choose what bars you want in your variety pack, lets say I don't like the banana or coconut ones but i love everything else I think you should be able to choose what's in the box.
Out of the few I have tried so far, I have loved every single one of them and would recommend them highly!
Thats all for now until next time.. N~
