Barebells first turned the classic Swedish cinnamon bun into a flavor of its Soft Protein Bar last September, initially keeping the seasonal creation close to home. It proved popular enough to return earlier this year and eventually spread to other European markets, including Germany. American fans have had to watch from a distance, although that changes with the latest launch from Barebells here in the US, as it has now brought Cinnamon Bun stateside.
The Cinnamon Bun Barebells Soft Protein Bar is making its US debut this week, featuring the same bakery-inspired experience from Sweden and a few other parts of Europe. It brings together a soft, bun-flavored protein base with a creamy cinnamon swirl and a coating of white chocolate. The pastry-themed extension doesn’t let you down in nutrition either, with 16g of protein, 23g of carbohydrates, no added sugar, and a respectable 180 calories.
The previously seasonal flavor is available now through Barebells’ US online store at shop.barebells.com as well as The Vitamin Shoppe, although either way you go, the cost on a box of 12 is $30.99. There is some discount when going direct, as the brand’s website also has bulk bundles, getting you up to 10% off on a set of six, which is 72 protein bars.
