XXL Nutrition’s functional food side could be a brand all on its own, offering everything from the 50%-protein High Protein Bar and candy-style N’Joy to cleaner recipes, oat bars, and performance-minded carbohydrate snacks. It is an unusually complete selection the continues to grow, most of it revolving around protein, indulgence or energy, although that changes a bit in its latest innovation, The Gut Bar.
The newly released The Gut Bar, is an entirely new 60g snack from XXL Nutrition that takes a more rounded approach than simply chasing the largest protein number. It features a soft chocolate and hazelnut base and packs 10g of protein from plant-based pea protein, while dates, corn fiber, nuts, and cacao nibs make up the rest of the recipe. As per the title, XXL has put a focus on health and wellness in this one, including a good amount of fiber and probiotics supporting digestion and gut function.
As mentioned, XXL Nutrition has a huge selection of protein snacks and functional foods, so when it comes out with something new, it has to have a point of difference. The Gut Bar has precisely that, pairing moderate vegan-friendly protein with gut health benefits. The rest of its nutrition sits at 19g of carbohydrates, most of that sugar, 11g of fat, and 245 calories, and the product is available now straight from XXL’s website individually and in boxes of 12 with one flavor to start in Chocolate Hazelnut.
