Knowing that many consumers are looking to nuts as an all-natural source of protein, PowerBar launched a trio of Plant Protein Bars.
These flavorful plant-based protein snacks are offered in decadent flavors like Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel Cashew and Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter, which are only made with simple ingredients like seeds, nuts, nut butter, crisped peas and rice. The bars offer between 10 to 11 grams of protein from nuts, and also serve as a source of fiber.
While the snacks do contain nuts as main ingredients, they are free from gluten, soy and any artificial sweeteners, flavors and colors. These three all-new Plant Protein Bars are being added to PowerBar's Clean Start program, which aims to motivate consumers to work towards cleaner eating.
