Easy-to-Swallow Snack Bars

Eat Bar is a Meringue-Like Snack for Those Who Have Trouble Swallowing

— March 5, 2019 — Lifestyle
Eat Bar is an innovative, easy-to-eat snack bar created by a speech language pathologist to support those who have difficulty swallowing. The melt-in-your-mouth bar is offered in Strawberry, Lemon, White Chocolate and Dark Chocolate varieties with a non-GMO, gluten-free, nut-free and Kosher formula.

The high-calorie bars boast meringue-like textures and provide a source of fat, protein, dietary fiber and more. Beyond this, Eat Bar co-founder Tia Bagan notes: "Food is so much more than just a source of nutrition."

The Eat Bar also has the potential to nourish those who struggle with appetite issues or getting an adequate amount of calories in their daily diet. Already, consumers of all ages are responding well to the Eat Bar and it has already proved itself to be a great help for toddlers with sensory issues and people in hospice care.
