For families looking for alternatives to granola bars, Snak Stars Sport Bites were developed to provide a convenient way to help kids refuel with real-ingredient, nut-free, high-fiber, protein-packed bites. “Parents are frustrated with what passes for ‘healthy’ in the kids’ snack aisle,” said John Celenza, Chairman and CEO of Cizzle Brands Corporation. “SnakStars Sport Bites are built differently."
Each bag contains two servings and boasts 16 grams of protein and 10 grams of fiber, combining performance-driven nutrition with kid-approved flavors like spiced, fruity Apple Cinnamon or sweet Frosted Vanilla.
With a focus on high-traffic sporting goods channels, Snak Stars Sport Bites are coming to Sport Chek nationwide and select Source for Sports locations, and other destinations that make it easy for households to fuel and nourish all family members.
