— May 27, 2026 — Lifestyle
Barebells Cinnamon Bun protein bar takes on a classic bakery flavor to help catch the attention of nutrition-minded consumers on the hunt for a way to hit their macro goals without sacrificing on flavor.

The protein bar features a soft texture that features the sweet, spiced flavor of a cinnamon bun in every bite to achieve a decidedly indulgent taste experience with impressive nutritional benefits. The snack bar features 16-grams of protein in each 55-gram serving with 2.2-grams of sugar and 198 calories to make it a permissible dessert option for nutrition-minded consumers. The secret to the bar's success is its doughy texture with creamy vanilla layers and cinnamon-spiced center with a white chocolate coating.

Barebells Cinnamon Bun protein bar is arriving in the UK in packs of 12 priced at £23.99.
