The RXBar High Protein snack bars have been added into the brand's lineup as a series of minimal ingredient food products perfect for helping to satisfy hunger in a decidedly nutritious way. The snack bars are crafted with six ingredients in each and boast 18-grams of protein to give them a satisfying nutritional density when snacking after the gym or midday. The bars come in the Strawberry Peanut Butter and Vanilla Peanut Butter flavor options, which are launching alongside the new Lemon Honey Cashew Butter bar being added to the brand's Nut Butter & Oats range.
Brand Marketing Director at Kellanova Eileen Flaherty commented on the RXBar High Protein snack bars saying, "This launch represents the next chapter for RXBar. We saw a clear gap in the category and knew we could deliver a superior option. Consumers don’t want to settle for bars that promise protein but fall short on taste or transparency. We’re here to offer both.”
