Oobli, a developer of sweet proteins and sugar alternatives, has unveiled the latest additions to its product range: Oobli milk chocolate bars and an expanded line of dark chocolate bars. Oobli's Milk Chocolate bars are designed for individuals seeking a sweet treat with reduced sugar content. These bars, sweetened with a small amount of sweet protein instead of sugar or artificial sweeteners, boast a significant 70% reduction in sugar compared to traditional milk chocolate bars. The sweet proteins, derived from rare fruits near the Equator, provide a sweet taste without affecting blood sugar, insulin or the gut microbiome, presenting a healthier alternative to conventional sweeteners. Ali Wing, CEO of Oobli, said: “Until now, consumers have needed to compromise on taste if they wanted a low-sugar alternative. With Oobli sweet proteins, there is now a solution to enjoy chocolate with a whole lot less guilt. Chocolates are a proof point of Oobli’s ability to sweeten foods in a healthier way with no compromise on your gut or taste buds.” In addition to the new milk chocolate offering, Oobli is relaunching its dark chocolate bars with a craft speciality approach, introducing four new flavours. Known for being a low-sugar option, Oobli's protein-powered dark chocolate bars contain only 1g of sugar per serving, avoiding the use of alternative sweeteners. Key features of Oobli chocolates:
Four flavours: Cocoa Dreams, Let’s Go Nuts, Almond Crunch, Crisp ‘n Rice
