Adults love PB&J for its nostalgic comfort, yet many crave snacks inspired by peanut butter and jelly—especially options that let them enjoy the flavor without needing to eat bread, like Mid-Day Squares' new No Bread PB&J. This product is the first non-chocolate-based innovation from Mid-Day Squares and it promises all of the feel-good qualities of a childhood classic, minus the sugar crash.
The Strawberry No Bread PB&J Square snack bar is jammy and full of more satisfying flavor and texture than the average protein bar. And with six grams of protein, the Strawberry No Bread PB&J Square helps to promote feelings of fullness for longer so that adults can keep their energy steady and focus clear for productive days.

- Protein-enriched Snacks
