Quest Bars! +Recipe

I cannot even begin to describe how much I have fallen in love with Quest Bars.  With 15 flavors, they offer so much variety for many different taste buds.  The first time I tried a Quest Bar was this past school year on campus, and since then, I have been #OnAQuest!  They have definitely become a recent obsession! 

Quest Bars are packed with 20 grams of protein, are low-carb, and only contain 1 gram of sugar.  This is amazing for anyone who is trying to gain protein, cut sugar, or even eat low-carb.  Some of my favorite flavors include cinnamon roll, chocolate chip cookie dough, and cookies and cream.  What I love about them is how versatile they are.  I can eat one before I go to the gym for some added protein and energy, I can eat one after the gym as a post workout, or I can have one as a snack (for recipe's, check out Quest Nutrition).  Quest Bars sell at places like Dick's Sporting goods, GNC, and The Vitamin Shoppe for about three dollars a piece, but are more than worth the money.

Of course Quest bars taste wonderful right out of the wrapper, but it's always fun to mix it up and try different recipes!  In upcoming blog posts, I will be trying out and showing you guys several different Quest Bar recipes that are all delicious and so easy to make!

Recipe: Quest Bar Cookies

What you'll Need:

• Your Favorite flavor Quest Bar
• Baking sheet
• Parchment Paper

You can literally use any flavored Quest Bar that sparks your taste buds.  The one that I think tastes the most like an actual flavored cookie would have to be the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough.

The Process:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.  Place your parchment paper on your baking sheet.  Begin by taking your quest bar out of its wrapper, and putting it on your baking sheet.  Then, split your Quest Bar into as many pieces as cookies you would like, and flatten them out.  When they're cooking, they will expand a little, but not as much as most cookies.  They will puff up more than they will expand. After flattening your bar, set them apart on the baking sheet, and put them in the oven.  Set a timer for about 8 minutes.  If you want softer cookies, set it for about 7, but if you want them to be golden brown, 8 minutes is the way to go.  When they're done, you will notice that they are crispy around the edges, and soft on the inside.  This is the perfect snack that tastes like an actual cookie, but is a #cheatclean.

Enjoy your cookies!
