Gatorade fuels recovery with whey protein almond butter bars
Gatorade is looking to help athletes — or anyone performing extraneous activity — recover with the help of a protein bar. The Chicago-based company is expanding the offerings in its popular whey protein bar line, with the introduction of the new recover whey protein with almond butter.
The bars deliver 20g of protein to jumpstart muscle recovery after training but with lower calories and sugar than other of its whey protein bars, the company said. Each product is made with recognizable ingredients and no artificial flavors or added colors.
Gatorade's recover whey protein with almond butter bars will come in three flavor options, chocolate cookie dough, almond butter and salted caramel. The bars also contain whey and milk proteins, 23 to 24g of carbohydrates to aid in muscle uptake of the amino acids supplied by protein, and 220 calories the company said.
Each of the three offerings come in single-serve bars and six-count multipacks that contain two flavors each. The protein bars are available nationwide in grocery, convenience, mass and drug stores as well as Amazon and Gatorade's website for the suggested retail price of $1,60 to $2.49 for a single 2.0-oz. bar.
