Dual-Textured Protein Bars

Nature Valley Protein Crunch Bars Also Have Creamy Ingredients

— January 13, 2021 — Lifestyle
Nature Valley is introducing Protein Crunch bars with 10 grams of protein and contrasting textures, thanks to a combination of ingredients like whole-grain oats, peanut butter, nuts, soy protein and whey protein. The protein-packed bars, available in Peanut Butter and Chocolate Peanut Butter varieties, help to satisfy a gap in the market for a great-tasting, affordable protein bar with a unique texture.

The bars are free from artificial flavors, colors and high fructose corn syrup, and each of the bars boasts 200 calories, two grams of fiber and between seven to eight grams of sugar. The nourishing, dual-textured Nature Valley Protein Crunch Bars promise to offer a unique way for people to fuel themselves throughout the day, whether they are enjoying a mid-day break or refueling after physical activity.
