The Irish global nutrition group Glanbia, PLC recently launched new Think! Minis protein snack bars.
While there are plenty of protein bars in the market, most come in the same size. The new Think! Minis protein bars are smaller and size and clock in at just 100 calories per serving, making them better suited to a very quick on-the-go snack. Each bar contains six grams of protein per serving and there are seven flavors to choose from, including Chocolate Chip, Cupcake Batter, Chunky Chocolate Peanut, Chocolate Almond Brownie, Girl Scout Adventurefuls, Girl Scout chocolate peanut butter, Girl Scout S’mores. That's right, you can actually get Think! Minis protein bars in the flavor of your favorite Girl Scout cookies!
