Lineage Provisions — the clean real food snacks and supplements company co-founded by Paul Saladino, MD and Anthony Gustin, DC — has introduced a fourth flavor to its protein bar lineup called Coconut Macadamia. This follows the rapid sell-out of the brand's initial offerings and the subsequent popularity of its Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough variety.
Lineage Provision's new bar maintains the same formulation as its predecessors, delivering 20 grams of protein in 198 calories through a combination of grass-fed whey and collagen, raw honey, coconut nectar, and 100% grass-fed beef tallow. The formulation explicitly excludes seed oils, sugar alcohols, fiber syrups, gums, isolates, and natural flavors. The toasted coconut and buttery macadamia provide the entire flavor profile without any lab-derived additives, and the texture incorporates real pieces of both ingredients for sensory interest.
