The YuBi Dubai Choc Bar has been created by the functional food innovation brand as a permissible take on the now-classic viral Dubai chocolate. The bar pairs chocolate and pistachio flavors together to achieve a rich, nutty taste yet maintains a plant-based formulation that comes in with 10-grams of protein, a modest 99-calories per serving and half a gram of sugar. The snack bar thus allows consumers to enjoy a confectionery treat in a permissible way that's dramatically lower in calories than the original, while also offering protein and fiber to boot.
The YuBi Dubai Choc Bar maintains the same taste and texture as the original Dubai chocolate products, but gives the recipe a functional boost to work well for consumers who are increasingly seeking out better-for-you snacks.
