Lindy’s BQ, LLC

 

The brand Body Quest Protein Ice Cream grew out of a concept that was developed by Hank’s Ice Cream, a local ice cream parlor in Atlanta, Georgia owned by Douglas Wiggins.  Body Quest Ice Cream, LLC was established and the product was introduced to the public at the NPC National Body Building Championships in Atlanta, GA in November 2005.

 

Since that time, it is has morphed into the premier nutritional supplement that improves the health and recovery of athletes, persons experiencing various medical conditions, and serves as a daily protein supplement for the health conscious consumer.  As the first company to coin the term of Protein Ice Cream, Body Quest has set the standard for high quality nutrition in the frozen dessert format.

 

Body Quest was designed for the nutritional conscientious athlete and for persons experiencing various medical conditions such as dialysis, wound care, chemotherapy and more.   The need for increased levels of protein in the diets of persons experiencing various medical conditions is well known and documented.  Body Quest offers the highest level of protein supplement in a frozen dessert format that continues to be preferred by medical institutions, body builders, and health conscious individuals.
