Nutrimuscle introduced the Protein Crispy Bar as a Milk Chocolate & Peanut protein snack featuring protein crispies, a softer center, peanut pieces, and a milk chocolate coating. The bar emphasizes a crunchy texture and uses chocolate, peanuts and peanut paste in its composition.
Each 50-gram bar delivers 15.8 grams of protein, 13.3 grams of carbohydrates, 2.5 grams of sugar, 8.3 grams of fat and 193 calories. Chocolate accounts for 26% of the bar, while peanuts appear as both pieces and paste. The recipe also adds soluble beet and acacia fibers to provide 7.8 grams of fiber. The single-flavor product is sold in boxes of four for €11.49.
For consumers, the bar combines contrasting textures with measured protein, sugar, and fiber in a compact portion for between-meal or post-workout snacking. The crispy format reflects demand for protein products that resemble conventional confectionery, while giving Nutrimuscle a differentiated option within its broader sports nutrition and snack portfolio.
