The Genius Gourmet SKIPPY protein snack range has been expanded to provide consumers with a series of products that prioritize nutritional benefits with familiar flavor. The product range now includes the Protein Nut Roll Bar alongside the Wafer Protein Bar and the Crispy Protein bar, which each contain 11-grams to 15-grams of protein, depending on the variety. The snack bars each incorporate the signature flavor of All-Natural SKIPPY Peanut Butter Spread, while also featuring crispy and crunchy textures to position them apart from traditional protein bars on the market that have a soft texture.
The Genius Gourmet SKIPPY protein snack range is now arriving at H-E-B and Central Market locations in the US, and are expected to catch the attention of even more shoppers thanks to their enhanced variety.
