Legion is expanding its ‘Protein Crispy Treat’ from a two-flavor snack into a four-flavor lineup with ‘Birthday Cake’ and ‘Double Chocolate,’ giving buyers a cereal-treat-style bar in more than vanilla or peanut butter. The additions join ‘Vanilla Marshmallow’ and ‘Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip’ in the brand’s first variety pack.
Birthday Cake uses sprinkles, while Double Chocolate takes the line in a cocoa-heavy direction. Legion sells the new flavors only in the mixed box, which includes equal counts of all four options. The box costs $49.99, or $34.99 with a subscription.
A mixed box with all four flavors turns flavor expansion into a built-in sampling strategy, giving Legion a way to broaden trial without adding separate single-flavor stock. The $34.99 subscription price also makes repeat purchases easier to justify for buyers treating the bar as a regular snack.
