Popular fruition™ Line Goes Gluten-Free And Adds New Flavor
Park City, UT (March 7, 2012)—PROBAR just made living a gluten-free life a little easier; PROBAR’s popular fruition™ bar line is now independently certified gluten-free. The reformulated gluten-free bars come in seven different flavors and include a new flavor to the fruition™ lineup: Chocolate Orange.
Fruition™ is a fruit-dense, 150-calorie, superfood snack that delivers a serving of fruit in every bar. As with all PROBAR products, fruition™ bars are 100% vegan, certified organic, non-GMO, and rich in raw ingredients including organic dates, oats, chia seeds, and cashews. The new collection boasts all six original flavors (Cran-Raspberry, Cherry, Strawberry, Peach, Lemon, Blueberry) along with a newcomer: Chocolate Orange. PROBAR President, Jules Lambert, said: “Our mission has always been to provide healthy snacks and meal-replacements for people on-the-go. This change-over helps us reach many more people who live a gluten-free lifestyle.”
It’s estimated that celiac disease affects 1 out of every 133 people and generally speaking around 18 million Americans have some degree of gluten sensitivity. Gluten is a hard-to-digest protein derived from wheat that even a healthy intestine cannot completely break down. For those with gluten sensitivity, the undigested protein essentially causes the body’s immune system to lash out at itself, leading to mal-absorption, bloating, diarrhea and sometimes, joint pain, skin rashes, and other problems.
Gluten-free fruition™ bars will be available nationwide and will completely replace the former recipe on store shelves (MSRP: $1.79). To be sure you are purchasing a gluten-free bar, look for the new packaging. Learn more at ThePROBAR.com
