The Lineage Protein Bar is the latest launch from Lineage Provisions, and it's wholly centered on real, nourishing ingredients: grass-fed whey and collagen, raw honey, grass-fed beef tallow, organic freeze-dried fruit, and organic cocoa. Equally important as what's included, the Lineage Protein Bar excludes all seed oils, sugar alcohols, fiber syrups and gums, and anything else the "gut has to fight through to digest." To emphasize this, Lineage third-party tested its Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score, and its new protein bar scored .86, putting it on par with eggs and quality dairy. “I’m proud we’re able to verify this number, so we can back up our marketing claims that this bar is incredibly easy to digest,” said co-founder Paul Saladino MD.
Developed with a focus on real food ingredients first and macros second, the Lineage Protein Bar boasts 20 grams of protein with less than 200 calories.
