STRONG & KIND is a new line of savory protein bars from KIND Healthy Snacks that was developed to satisfy a need in the market for savory snack that was also good for you. It seems like a pretty straightforward concept, but there are tons of other snacks out there that end up being loaded with ingredients that you can’t identify or pronounce.
The new savory STRONG & KIND bars are made from simple ingredients like almonds, seeds and legumes, in five deliciously unusual flavors: Hickory Smoked, Roasted Jalapeño, Honey Smoked BBQ, Honey Mustard, and Thai Sweet Chili. The bars are non-GMO and totally free of gluten, wheat and soy. In total, the bars contain 10 grams of natural protein.
Of the samples that were generously sent to the Trend Hunter team by KIND, I’d have to say that my personal favouites are the Honey Mustard and the Roasted Jalapeño, two of the boldest flavors.
