The Protein One Protein Bars are a new product from the Fiber One brand that embraces the demand for protein-rich snacks, while also offering fiber. The bars aim to satisfy consumers on multiple levels by providing them with a serving of protein and fiber in the form of a permissible treat that balances everyday snacking needs in a nutritional way. The bars come in at 100-calories each with 10-grams of protein, one-gram of sugar and 10% of the recommended daily intake fiber.
The Protein One Protein Bars come in three flavors including Strawberries & Cream, Chocolate Chip and Peanut Butter Chocolate. The bars come in boxes with five servings that are also branded as being GLP-1-friendly to help shoppers immediately identify the right options for them when using the medications.
