Protein-Packed Cricket Bars

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The New 'Crawl Bars' are High In Nutrition and Low In Carbon Footprint

— June 21, 2022 — Lifestyle
Crawl Bars is preparing to become the latest and one of the most exciting entrants into the burgeoning insect protein space with the advent of its cricket bars, which are targeted towards outdoor adventurers, explorers and extreme athletes in search of more nutritious and less ecologically damaging alternatives to conventional protein and granola snacks.

These cricket protein bars bars, which are set to be offered in blueberry almond and chocolate peanut varieties to start with, are made with ground-up crickets, which have been slowly crawling into the public consciousness as a healthy and acceptable source of protein. In fact, crickets are feted as a nutritional powerhouse due to the fact that they contain comparable amounts of Omega-3 as salmon, and completely knock spinach out of the park when it comes to iron content. As a complete protein, cricket protein contains all nine essential amino acids. With 9g and 11g of protein per bar respectively, the blueberry almond and chocolate peanut Crawl Bars offer a healthy dose of protein in the form of a bar whose flavor and texture are said to bely the presence of their core ingredient.

What's more, consuming Crawl Bars can also be a way for you to make your small but not insignificant contribution toward a healthier planet. Cricket-rearing is known to produce a miniscule fraction of the amount of methane per pound of protein compared to cattle, and has been endorsed by the UN and leading food scientists as a promising new source of nutrition. Crickets also use up a scarcely visible percentage of land and water per pound of protein compared to cows.

While Crawl Bars promise serious bodily benefits as well as a sustainability-minded ethos, the startup is also building a brand that is based around adventure and fun, led by its quirkily charming mascot 'Chipper' the cricket. With plans to sponsor athletes across a range of adventure and outdoor sports, Crawl Bars is bravely hopping forward to carve out a niche for itself as the go-to cricket protein bar of choice for people who need fuel for their adventures.

The Crawl Bars are currently available for pre-order, with $20 fetching you a six-pack of your chosen flavor.
