The Protein Ball Co. Stuffed range has been announced by the brand as a series of snack products that build on its success of its sharing ball range and which combat against protein bar fatigue.
The snacks feature the brand's signature spherical serving format, but sees each piece packed with smooth filling to balance out the texture with the soft exterior. The snacks come in three flavors including Hazelnut & Chocolate, Matcha & Vanilla and Pistachio & Chocolate, which are each minimally processed, dense in nutrients and respond to increasing consumer demand for protein and fiber-rich foods.
Co-Founder Matt Hunt spoke on The Protein Ball Co. Stuffed range saying, "The meteoric growth of the GLP-1 movement initially in North America and subsequently the UK has fostered a growing demand for tasty smaller portion offerings that can be consumed over the course of the day. Whether we’re talking an on-the-go commute treat, a work desk timeout or a post gym pick-me-up, we believe Stuffed offers a clean-deck energy lift and an added tingle of foodie intrigue."
