Mood-Boosting Snack Bars

Mindright's Functional Snack Bars Share the Benefits of Adaptogens

— March 19, 2021 — Lifestyle
Mindright makes functional snack bars that are formulated to support brain health and boost moods and they do so by leaning into the potent power of adaptogenic ingredients. Available in varieties like Blueberry Amond, Peanut Butter Cup and Toasted Coconut, the snack bars boast plant-based sources of protein, plus MCT to fuel the brain. Additionally, the free-from bars are made without dairy or gluten.

The bars intentionally include adaptogens like ginseng to balance moods and ashwagandha for calm, and as such Mindright describes that it makes "the only bar of its kind to support your feel-good mood."

A spike in stress during the pandemic is leading people to seek out products that help with adapting to stress, especially those bolstered by adaptogens.
