A beloved ice cream flavor served as the inspiration for [ONE](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exclusive-high-protein-bar) Brands' newest protein bar and the [Rocky Road](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barebells-marshmallow-rocky-road) protein bar is now available for a limited time. This new variety is the perfect warmup to summer and it shares the taste of an ice cream flavor that has remained in the top 10 flavors of all time for good reason.

ONE's Limited Edition Rocky Road flavored bars are packed with 20 grams of protein and just one gram of sugar, plus they are rich in texture thanks to a chocolatey center filled with almonds and marshmallow flavored pieces, all within a decadent icing-like coating.

This better-for-you protein bar flavor joins other favorites from the brand like Birthday Cake, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Fruity Cereal, continuing to prove that great taste doesn't have to come with compromise.
