The ALOHA Cookies and Creme bar is a new limited-edition snack from the plant-based nutrition brand that's crafted with the signature flavor of ice cream, milkshakes and sandwich cookies as its inspiration.
The snack bar boasts 14-grams of plant-based protein with 10-grams of fiber and five-grams of sugar to give it a solid nutritional profile for nutrition-minded snackers to enjoy. The bar is also dairy-free, 100% plant-based and contains no sugar alcohols or artificial sweeteners, while also being soy-free and gluten-free
CEO Brad Charron spoke on the ALOHA Cookies and Creme bar saying, "Cookies and Creme is such a nostalgic flavour combo for so many people. We wanted to evoke the comfort of a classic, but do so in a way that is undeniably Aloha. Meaning, it not only tastes great but uses premium, organic ingredients for nutrition that actually hold up."
