At the Sweets & Snacks Expo, Healthy Food Brands announced the launch of its Good & Fit protein wafer bars, which will be available in indulgent flavors like Chocolate, Mint Chocolate, Peanut Butter and Vanilla. Depending on the flavor, the [crunchy bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protein-crunchy-bar) will contain between 13 to 14 grams of protein and just four to five grams of sugar and no trans fats.

The [high-protein, low-sugar bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lowsugar-highprotein-bars) are set to appeal to the on-the-go consumer who is looking for a source of protein along with an eating experience that is rich in flavor and texture.

As an alternative to producing protein powders and shakes that expressly target the gym-goer, brands are creating [protein-rich cookies, cakes and confections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prime-bites-protein-brownies) for the average consumer looking for on-the-go nourishment.
