Upfront Peanut Butter Protein bar

Upfront Peanut Butter Protein bar

Company's Description

The prime example of the Upfront standard: a clean protein bar with nuts and dates. The Upfront protein bar was developed from the frustration that other protein bars contain many unrecognizable ingredients. We have proven that this can be done differently: a bar with 15 grams of protein, and ingredients that you do know.
