The INDI Brain Bar is the latest addition to the plant-based nutrition brand's portfolio that's formulated with cognitive health support in mind to respond to increasing demand for brain-boosting food products.
The snack bar features a clean label recipe that has 16 plant-based ingredients packed with vitamins and minerals, while also delivering six-grams of fiber. The product features an almond butter and date base with walnuts, flaxseed, puffed quinoa, cranberries, blueberries and haskap to deliver impressive taste, texture and nutritional benefits in every serving. Priced at £2.20, the bar also features lion's mane mushroom, guarana, rhodiola rosea and bacopa monnieri, while also being free from added sugar, flavorings, artificial sweeteners, preservatives and emulsifiers.
Co-Founder Helen Snook spoke on the INDI Brain Bar saying, "Following the sell-out success of our Gut Bar, we're delighted to be expanding our functional snacking range. Combining great taste, nutrient-dense ingredients and targeted nutritional benefits, our new Brain Bar offers consumers a convenient, clean-label snack that supports everyday wellness and plant diversity."
