The Grenade Reload Protein Oat Bar is a newly announced product from the sports and nutrition brand that seeks to offer consumers with a way to stay fueled throughout their busy day. The snack bars are made with a blend of complex carbohydrates that will help to extend the consumer's feeling of fullness after eating one to stave off hunger between meals. The bars come in three flavor options including Chocolate Chunk, Blueberry Muffin and Billionaires Shortbread.
CEO and Co-Founder Alan Barratt spoke on the new Grenade Reload Protein Oat Bars saying, "Grenade recognises the latest shopper trends within the healthier snacking sector and has identified that consumers want a snack that is not only good for them but is going to be satiating and boost energy levels. With slow release energy from wholegrain oats and all-natural nut butters, Grenade Reload caters to these needs, thanks to its high in protein and fibre levels, as well as its low sugar content.”
