LOS ANGELES — Many health-conscious pizza lovers have learned to live without their number one craving, or give into it only to feel guilty later. But no more. Quest Nutrition, which disrupted the protein bar market in 2010, continues to shake up the food industry with the introduction of new Thin Crust Pizzas – tasty, high protein, low net carb and keto friendly frozen pizzas that everyone can enjoy. This innovation is the latest in Quest Nutrition’s craveable offerings, which include snacks like cookies and chips, that make your cravings work for you, not against you.
“Of the many high carb foods that people give up in pursuit of a healthier lifestyle, pizza is the one they miss the most,” said Suzanne Ginestro, chief marketing officer at Quest Nutrition. “We are on a quest to make high protein, low carb foods that feed people’s cravings, so we’re thrilled to introduce this new pizza.” One serving is half the pizza, making it very simple for consumers to know how much they are eating. Half a Quest Thin Crust Pepperoni Pizza (162g) provides 28g of protein with only 6g net carbs. This is 80 percent fewer net carbs than the leading brand.1
The frozen pizza category has continued to grow2, despite the challenges consumers have finding a tasty, better-for-you option in the frozen food section. In fact, four in ten U.S. frozen/refrigerated pizza consumers keep their freezers stocked with frozen pizza.3 But even though they continue to purchase, nearly 50 percent of frozen/refrigerated pizza consumers believe frozen pizza has little nutritional value4 and 75 percent agree they are willing to spend more on better quality frozen pizza.5 Quest Nutrition has solved for this category gap with Quest Thin Crust Pizzas, that swap the normally carb loaded crust for a gluten-free one made from whey protein.
The 9-inch pizzas are available in three delicious flavors – 4-Cheese, Uncured Pepperoni and Supreme:
- 4-Cheese: 27 grams of protein and only 6g net carbs per serving
- Uncured Pepperoni: 28 grams of protein and only 6g net carbs per serving
- Supreme: 20 grams of protein and only 5g net carbs per serving
Quest Thin Crust Pizza is available for purchase in the frozen section of select retailers and on QuestNutrition.com.
