Balance Bar Company, Valhalla, NY, has launched Balance Bar BARE Blueberry Acai. The new flavor joins two other popular BARE bars: Sweet & Salty Chocolate Almond and Sweet & Salty Peanut Butter. BARE Blueberry Acai contains a crisp high-protein core, simple sweeteners, dried wild blueberries, sunflower seeds and acai juice powder. A yogurt coating along the bottom adds a hint of sweetness, and the rolled oats on top bring an extra crunch to this vitamin- and mineral-rich nutritional bar. BARE Blueberry Acai is sweetened with all natural organic agave and brown rice syrup, contains 15 grams of protein, 4 grams of fiber and 7 grams of whole grains. It has 200 calories, 19 vitamins and minerals, and is an “excellent source” of antioxidants.
