First of all, these are not lease levels. Because in reality there is nothing. There is a reason why a king is a king.
But as a substitute, they are very good. Chocolate is creamy and rich despite being low in sugar. The peanut butter doesn’t have the sweetness of Reese’s, but it’s smoother and less grainy than what you get in a standard cup. And Quest has done away with the second cup wrapper under the foil, which always felt overkill. This is the end result of peeling the chocolate from the cup itself and licking the wax paper like an animal.
Am I the only one with the last one? OK, just me.
The chocolate is a little harder to chew than the alternative, but melts quickly into a sweet and delicious slurry. Peanut butter peels easily from its shell, which is helpful if you’re breaking down sweets like a kid, as I often do (Kit Kats and Twix are especially good for this). Either way, I’m happy with the results. It’s obviously not health food, but it’s a bag of peanut butter cups that you can bust out in the middle of a stressful day and not feel completely awful.
Overall, Quest snacks are very tasty. The question is whether they’re worth the money, since a single-serving bag of Protein Blast Snacks costs about $3 each round. That said, you can see that it contains extra protein, but that doesn’t mean it’s negative for your tongue. No matter how you look at it, these are mostly solid chips.
Is $40 per pound okay? It’s probably too thick for my blood, but I can justify the occasional post-workout indulgence.
