What Net Carbs Means Here
Quest calculates net carbs as total carbohydrates minus fiber and sugar alcohols. On Cookies & Cream that works out to 22g minus 13g of fiber minus 5g of sugar alcohols, for 4g net. Most of the fiber comes from polydextrose and soluble corn fiber, and the sugar alcohol is erythritol. Some people feel bloated or gassy on that much fiber and sugar alcohol, so try one bar before you commit to a box.
Key Ingredients
The protein blend is milk protein isolate and whey protein isolate, with almonds in most flavors. Sweetness comes from erythritol, stevia and sucralose instead of added sugar. The result is a dense, chewy bar that works as a snack between meals or an easy protein hit after training.
