Performance nutrition brand Grenade has released a new Peanut Butter & Jelly protein bar flavour to add to its range of healthy sweet treats. The bar consists of peanut butter-flavoured nougat, a gooey strawberry caramel layer alongside a generous sprinkling of peanut pieces and coated in milk chocolate. The new release contains 20g of protein and 1.8g of sugar making it a healthier alternative to high sugar confectionery. Rob Page, Grenade's head of product, commented: “One of the cornerstones of Grenade’s success lies in our continual focus on health, taste and innovation, so we’re delighted to bring this American-inspired snack to the table. Launched at a time where the country is embracing healthier lifestyles, following the success of our White Chocolate Salted Peanut and Peanut Nutter bars, we’re confident our customers will love this new addition, with nuts fast becoming a growing on-trend ingredient.” Grenade’s new Peanut Butter & Jelly protein bar is priced at £2.59 per 60g and is available to buy from the brand's online store now as well as at Muscle Finesse, Tropicana and Nutrivend from 24th January. Further rollout will include SPAR from 1st February, Sainsbury’s from 4th February and Tesco from 1st March with many more listings to follow.
