The new protein bars from the [allergy-friendly food company](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junkless-protein-bars) are full of healthy fats and protein and avoid the top eight allergens, all while offering a nourishing alternative to high-sugar bars. The decadent Salted Fudge, Blueberry Ginger and Cinnamon Fig flavors avoid the use of common allergens like milk, eggs, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts and soy, and instead offer nourishment with ingredients like seeds and seed butter, cacao and the KUBEBA Protein Blend—which combines all-organic sacha inchi protein, pumpkin seed protein, lucuma and more. While the products promise to speak specifically to allergy sufferers, the [plant-fueled formulas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/growhappy) will also appeal to healthy snackers who are conscious about avoiding certain ingredients.
