If you’ve been in the health and fitness sphere for a few years now, you’ll surely remember Quest bursting onto the scene in the early 2010s. Every Youtuber and Fitness Influencer was raving about these low carb protein bars! Back in the flexible dieting era, you could scroll down your feed without seeing a recipe involving one of these bars.

Predator Nutrition was the very first retailer in the UK and Europe to stock Quest Bars and remains to this day the only retailer to be an official Quest distributor in Europe.

Protein Bars Before Quest

Once upon a time, protein bars were solid blocks of jaw breaking sweetness. Quest revolutionised the protein bar market by bringing something that was equally as macro friendly, but in appetizing flavours with chunks (Cookies & Cream, White Chocolate Raspberry, Cookie Dough and Smores being the first ones to mind!).

Quest Unleash a Revolution

The founders of Quest did not have a background in sports nutrition but in business and were quick to see that in the one area they were passionate about: bodybuilding.

Whey isolate and milk protein isolate are among the very best protein sources available, being low in fat, easy to digest and absolutely chock full of recovery enhancing essential amino acids. Before Quest, bars relied heavily on cheap, inferior proteins like soy, calcium caseinate and the aforementioned collagen.

Once the protein had been selected Quest turned to the other macronutrient of concern to fitness fans - carbohydrates. The only bars on the market before Quest were loaded in sugars and sugar alcohols which are not ideal to consume in excess. After hundreds of experiments, Quest found that a class of carbohydrate existed which had the same sweetness as sugar but was actually digested by the body as a fibre. Even keto dieters are able to fit Quest into their plan!

When this designer carbohydrate was blended with the whey and milk protein the core ingredients in Quest Bars had arrived.

The final USP for Quest when they came to the market was that compared to the bars around then which would have dozens of artificial ingredients in many cases, Quest chose to work with as little as possible and selected natural sources such as almond and peanuts to help bring texture and taste to their bars.

Quest Bars Now

When Quest Bars hit the market they completely transformed the industry in just a few years. Quest Bars are now more popular than every other protein bar brand in the USA combined.

They remain as popular as ever despite a slew of rival bars modelled on Quest thanks to their combination of great ingredients, superior taste, unique manufacturing process. Unlike some of the more modern bars, which are essentially chocolate bars fortified with protein powder, Quest stuck true to their values throughout the years. Even now, each bar contains just 1g sugar with a high fibre content. Combined with 20g protein, one generous 60g bar will keep you satiated for hours.
