Quest protein shakes nutrition facts: all 3 on file compared
USDA FoodData Central has 3 current Quest protein shakes on file (labels dated 2022 to 2023). Per label serving they range from 159 calories to 169 calories and 30 g to 30 g of protein.
- 3 Quest protein shakes with a current U.S. label in USDA FoodData Central. Size and pack variants of one product count once when their names and numbers match. USDA names the same product in different ways, so a few may still show twice.
- Label dates on file: 2022-02-03 to 2023-01-18
- Label servings are all close to 11 fl oz (325 mL) (1 shake), so per serving numbers compare fairly.
Which Quest protein shakes have the most protein or the least sugar?
| Pick | Product | Per label serving | Per 100 mL | Range in this line, per serving |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Least sodium | Chocolate Protein Shake | 231 mg per 1 shake, 11 fl oz (325 mL) | 71 mg | 231 mg to 380 mg |
Picked per serving. Ties go to the product with fewer calories per 3.4 fl oz (100 mL).
Across the line these barely differ: protein (30 g to 30 g per serving), sugar (1 g to 1 g per serving), calories (159 to 169 per serving) and fiber (0 g to 1 g per serving). Pick by taste on those, not by the number.

How Quest compares with other protein shakes
Against 526 other current protein shakes on file, the typical Quest one has more protein and less sugar, fat and fiber per serving. The Quest median differs from the category median by at least 20% on these, and by more than label rounding.
| Per serving | Quest median (3) | All other brands, median (526) | Quest is |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calories | 159 | 172 | about the same |
| Protein | 30 g | 20 g | higher |
| Sugar | 1 g | 4 g | lower |
| Fat | 3.5 g | 4.5 g | lower |
| Sodium | 250 mg | 231 mg | about the same |
| Fiber | 0 g | 2.1 g | lower |
A median compares the middle product of each group, so one standout flavor does not move it. It is not a verdict on any single product.
How this list was built
We took all protein shakes under the Quest brand in the USDA FoodData Central Branded Foods data (release of 2026-04-30) that is sold in the U.S., not marked discontinued, and has label data dated 2021-04-30 or later. Size and pack variants of one product, and the same flavor filed under two names, count once when their names and per 3.5 oz (100 g) numbers match within label rounding, using the newest label. A few may still show twice under names we could not match. Records whose calories do not add up from protein, carbs and fat were dropped as data entry errors. Products from a different company that sells under the same name, and records whose label names another brand of the same company, are left out.
USDA only has the labels that brands and data partners have sent in. A flavor that is new, seasonal or sold only in some stores may be missing here, and a recipe may have changed since the label date shown. The FDC ID opens the full USDA record. This page does not show ingredients or allergens, so check the package for those. The package in your hand is the final word.
