Chef-Developed Protein Bars

TUSOL's Limited-Edition Organic Protein Bars Tap a Michelin Star Chef

TUSOL elevated the category of gourmet functional snacking with the launch of Michelin Star Chef-developed limited-edition organic protein bars. Slotted to hit the shelves in March, the drop will feature delectable offerings crafted by three-time Michelin Star chef Christopher Kostow. The flavors include Salted Caramel and Chocolate Peanut Butter.

TUSOL's limited-edition organic protein bars are at the intersection of gourmet luxury and functional innovation. Kostow's culinary expertise enhances the research-backed ingredients that TUSOL uses in its bars. At the core of this is the groundbreaking plant-based fava bean protein, which has a pleasant smooth and creamy texture. This ingredient allows the brand to make claims of supporting "muscle repair, satiety, and sustained energy without the crash" while also boosting mood through L-dopa.
