UNiTE Food unveiled a uniquely flavored protein bar at Natural Products Expo West, making it easier than ever for people to get a taste of bubble tea on the go. The milk tea-flavored protein bar is actually infused with soluble tapioca fiber and apple bits and its creamy almond butter base is studded with nuts for even more texture.

At the same time, more consumers are craving multi-textured snacks for a more complex and satisfying eating experience.
This globally inspired snack bar joins other flavors that take cues from worldly delights like churro, Mexican hot chocolate and baklava.
