Cereal-Inspired Energy Bites

The New Special K Protein Bites are Rich in Protein

With a growing number of consumers looking for ways to add more protein to their diet, Special K has debuted a new lineup of Special K Protein Bites. Inspired by the brand's new protein-rich cereal, the bite-sized snacks give consumers an easy way to fuel up on the go.

The new Special K Protein Bites combine the nutritional benefits of a protein bar with many of the tasty ingredients traditionally found in granola bars. The snacks themselves consist of bite-sized pieces of quinoa, nuts and dried fruit packaged in a unique resealable bag that allows consumers to enjoy them throughout the day. Each serving contains nine grams of protein, making the snacks an energizing alternative to other packaged products.

Available in new Peanut Butter Chocolate and Caramel Nut flavors, the Protein Bites are an easy and delicious way for consumers to up their protein intake.
