With a baby in tow and a family that’s always on-the-go I’m all about delicious, convenient and nutritious snacks like Quest protein bars.

I’ve been a big fan of Quest Nutrition for years now and I was thrilled to learn that they started carrying their delicious protein bars in new 4-packs at Target.

If you haven’t had a Quest protein bar before you are truly missing out. Each bar has a dessert taste with great nutrition so you can enjoy them guilt-free. Sounds amazing, right?! Well, they are also:

• Soy-free
• Gluten-free
• Vegetarian Friendly
• 20+grams of protein in each bar
• 4-7 net carbs
• Under 210 calories
• 13-15 grams of fiber
• No added sugar

So much goodness in a protein-rich snack and with all the right macros for your waistline! From Cookies & Cream to Apple Pie you’re sure to find a dessert flavor that sings to you.

Typically, I toss a Quest protein bar into my yoga bag and I’m good to go for hours. It’s the perfect post-workout snack! But warm weather is finally here in Georgia and we wanted to have a little fun creating a guilt-free cool treat. Here’s our healthy version of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream. Enjoy! 🙂

Guilt-Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream

Ingredients:

• 1 Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Quest protein bar
• 1.5-2 frozen bananas
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 oz nut milk
• ice for thickening, if needed

Directions:

1. Cut protein bar in half and then into 12-18 squares.
2. Roll squares between palms to make small balls and freeze for 10 minutes.
3. Place frozen bananas, that have been out of the freezer for 10-15 minutes, into blender.
4. Add vanilla extract and nut milk to blender and mix until smooth. Add ice if you desire a thicker ice cream. If it’s too thick, add more nut milk.
5. Take frozen protein balls out of freezer and stir into ice cream.
6. Grab a spoon and enjoy!
