In an effort to cater to the growing number of consumers interested in adding more protein to their diet, Country Archer has released a line of portable protein bars made from beef, pork and turkey. Made with hormone-free meat and seasoned with flavorful spices such as cayenne, these meat-based snack bars are perfect for busy carnivores.

Country Archer Frontier Bars are similar to other granola bars in that they are sold as [pre-portioned, individually wrapped snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greenridge-naturals). But instead of sweet ingredients like peanut butter and oats, these bars are made from flavorful meats such as beef, pork and turkey. The meat provides 20 grams of protein per serving, while herbs and seasonings are added for extra flavor. The result is a [gluten-free, low-sugar snack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trek-high-protein-bars) that helps consumers fuel up on the go.
