One gripe people often have with protein bars is their dense, chalky texture but IQBAR's new Salted Caramel Chip IQ Protein Bars was co-developed with Michelin-Star Chef Thomas Keller to share only bold flavor and a truly satisfying bite without compromise. This decadent protein bar combines the buttery richness of caramel with a touch of sea salt, macadamia nuts and sweet chocolate chips to deliver plenty of crunch and a texture-packed experience worth remembering for the right reasons.
Fueled by a plant-based protein blend containing pea protein and pea protein crisps, this bar also packs additional benefits from a prebiotic blend and lion's mane. This vegan-friendly, dairy-free bar nourishes the brain and body while providing a decadent, dessert-like experience.
