Munk Pack Launches First-Ever PROBIOTIC PROTEIN Bars
Munk Pack®, the company on a mission to tackle the health crisis fueled by high-sugar, nutritionally void foods, announces the launch of their PROBIOTIC PROTEIN™ Bars and PROBIOTIC PROTEIN™ Breakfast Bars. For these first-of-their-kind snacks, Munk Pack looked to the leading nutrition science to ensure these products help promote satiety, support the gut, and minimize blood sugar spikes. By providing these benefits, the new PROBIOTIC PROTEIN™ product lines from Munk Pack meet the demands of the health conscious consumer, users of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic® and Wegovy®, and consumers who are working on weight management.
Munk Pack PROBIOTIC PROTEIN™ Bars and PROBIOTIC PROTEIN™ Breakfast Bars are crafted with a combination of plant-based protein, 1 billion CFU probiotics, prebiotic fiber, and like all Munk Pack products, only 1 gram of sugar. The chocolate-enrobed PROBIOTIC PROTEIN™ Bars contain 15 grams of plant-based protein and 4-5 grams of net carbs, whereas the PROBIOTIC PROTEIN™ Breakfast Bars contain 10 grams of plant-based protein and 18-20 grams of whole grains per bar.
Reminiscent of your favorite candy bar flavors, Munk Pack PROBIOTIC PROTEIN™ Bars are available in Peanut Butter Cup, Cookie Dough, and Brownie Nut Fudge. With a nod to classic breakfast flavors, Munk Pack PROBIOTIC PROTEIN™ Breakfast Bars are available in Peanut Butter Chocolate, Cocoa Crisp, and Cinnamon Roll.
At Munk Pack, every recipe starts with nutritious, whole food ingredients and is sweetened with allulose, not sugar alcohols like erythritol or maltitol, to craft wildly delicious 1 gram sugar snacks without compromise. Given its strong science-based profile, allulose is the only alternative sweetener that is currently growing (according to recent scanner data). Regarding the company’s new focus on protein and probiotics, Munk Pack co-founder Michelle Glienke says, “Our consumers have been asking for more protein in our snacks, and we wanted to push the envelope to create a protein bar unlike any other. By adding probiotics to bars that boast 10-15 grams of plant-based protein and only 1 gram of sugar, these bars pack a variety of functional benefits while still delivering the great taste our products are known for.”
The inspiration for Munk Pack’s PROBIOTIC PROTEIN™ product lines came after noticing a shift in consumer habits that was accelerating other CPG categories—but had yet to be addressed in the nutrition and breakfast bar space. Co-founder Tobias Glienke explains, “Categories such as modern soda, supplements, and protein powders have shown that consumers want products that support gut health, protein intake, and blood sugar management while still being convenient and satisfying. Our PROBIOTIC PROTEIN™ bars deliver on these needs, while also catering to the dietary demands of the fast-growing GLP-1 audience. Wellness isn’t one-size-fits-all, so we’re excited to create products that meet a wide range of consumer needs.”
Both product lines are available for purchase now on Amazon and munkpack.com. Retail distribution will be announced later this year.
