Candy-Bar-Style Protein Bar R&D Package
Create Your Own Line of the Industry’s Most In-Demand Protein Bars — Backed by World-Class Food Science
Candy-bar-style protein bars are booming — dominating retail shelves, driving explosive growth across the category, and becoming the most popular style consumers reach for when they want high protein without sacrificing indulgence. With this premium R&D package, YouBar’s expert-led Innovation Team will partner with you to create three fully developed, production-ready flavors using the same cutting-edge techniques our food scientists use to craft today’s best-selling bars.
This is a rare opportunity to co-create with one of the most advanced protein-snack R&D groups in the industry — and walk away with full recipe ownership, including detailed formulas, step-by-step instructions, and recommended ingredient suppliers so you can produce the bar yourself if you choose.
