Plant-powered pea protein, spinach and hemp seeds are some of the extra-nutritious ingredients that power SEND Bars' superfood protein bars. In fact, these bars are made with only real and organic ingredients, protein from nuts, seeds and plants, and each bar contains 200mg of cordyceps and 200mg of reishi for a total of 400mg superfood adaptogens per bar. Flavor-wise, SEND Bars are available in varieties like Lemon Cherry, Banana Bread, and Peanut Butter.
Made with a base of dates and nuts (primarily cashews or peanuts,) these superfood protein bars have relatively short ingredient lists—and a long list of exclusions as options that are dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free, preservative-free, paleo, vegan, organic and free from added sugar or anything artificial.
