It's all about the protein, baby
Mars protein products are a thing now. Mars bars and Snickers bars are now available with 18g/19g of protein stuffed into them.
Not only that but there’s going to be M&M, Bounty and Galaxy ‘trail mixes’.
In a press release from newly assigned UK distributors Madison it states: “There is no doubt that the protein trend is here to stay with sales of protein predicted to grow to £358m by 2018. Protein bars is a fast growing category with sales valued at £22m, increasing by +58.4% & £8.2m compared to last year.”
