The Snickers [Hi Protein](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tastebud-training-program) products are being launched by [Mars Chocolate Drinks & Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snickers-peanut-brownie-hi-protein-bar) to offer consumers with a tasty way to increase their intake of protein. The products include the White Chocolate bar and the White Chocolate Caramel and Peanut whey protein powder, which contain 20 and 21-grams of protein per serving, respectively. The products hone in on consumers who are looking to consumer higher protein foods, but who find existing options on the market not as palatable.

General Manager at [Mars Chocolate Drinks and Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snickers-hi-protein-crisp) Michelle Frost spoke on the new Snickers Hi Protein products saying, "The white chocolate variety of Snickers has proved hugely popular in our confectionary business, and continues to be named on social media as one of the key flavors that consumers would like to see in a protein product. We are seeing white chocolate variants being introduced into a number of grocery and impulse markets and wanted to demonstrate the innovation to our specialist sports range by becoming the first confectionary brand to launch not one, but two white chocolate protein products.”
