US health and wellness brand Alani Nu has launched a new line of protein bars in the country. In response to customer feedback and requests, the brand has transformed its original crunchy recipe into new, soft, chewy and gooey protein bars available in new flavours. The flavours include: peanut butter & jelly, rocky road and caramel crunch. Each bar is packed with up to 17g of protein. Alani Nu's founder, Katy Hearn, said: "Our goal was to give our community what they've been asking for – a softer, chewier bar in fun and delicious flavours, and we're just so happy to be able to give them that". Alani protein bars are currently available online at the brand's website. The bars will also be sold at The Vitamin Shoppe and GNC stores.
