Forward Foods, a US-based protein products manufacturer, has introduced a new line of natural, gluten free, whole grain oatmeal bars, marking its entry into the natural foods category.
Available in two fruit flavors - Blueberry and Apple Cinnamon - the Detour SMART bars are topped with a Greek style yogurt drizzle and contain up to 80% less sugar over other snack bars, the company said.
Each Detour SMART bar has 130 calories and four grams of sugar and is made with whey protein, grains and fruit to provide a balanced source of fiber and nutritious foundation. The bars are lightly sweetened with Stevia, a zero-calorie, natural sweetener.
Forward Foods CEO Patrick Muldoon said, "Whole grains are an essential part of a healthy diet and may help lower the risk of heart disease and diabetes, and lowering your sugar intake may be one of the best things you can do for your body, your appetite and your mind."
