New Name and Packaging for Energy Bars
Both of our Energy Bars will soon be shipping under new names with updated packaging. The Chewy Chocolate Mint Bars (02085 / 32085) are now called Chocolate Mint Bars, and the Cinnamon Oatmeal Bars (02089 / 32089) are now called Oatmeal Cinnamon Raisin Bars. The boxes for both are labeled "High in Protein" and the Chocolate Mint Bar is labeled, "with Soy Protein." The individual bars are wrapped in an attractive gold foil.
Our Energy Bars are high in protein and a good source of fiber. Each bar also contains added calcium; the Chocolate Mint Bars contain approximately 80 mg of calcium and the Oatmeal Cinnamon Raisin Bars contain approximately 150 mg calcium per bar. This is important, as recent studies show that protein, calcium, and fiber play a significant role in weight control.
