The [Arla Foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easy-bite-protein-bar) individual cheese snacks are intended to be a great way to bring a delicious snack with you without having to deal with the hassle of preparing it yourself.

Cheeses and meats have quickly become a popular snack choice for many consumers who are looking to up their protein intake and avoid carb-heavy foods. The new cheese snacks from Arla Foods are created with this in mind to help provide a snack that is 80-calories, contains [five-grams of protein](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/high-protein-cheese) and that is relatively low in milk fat.

The Arla Foods individual cheese snacks come in [cheddar, havarti and gouda varieties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sartori-cheese-cheese-bites), and come in packs that have 24 of the cheese bars in each. They are ideal for lunches and snacks for kids and adults alike.
