The Great GORP Project Created a Conveniently Bagged Protein Bar Mix
Laura McQuarrie — September 22, 2017 — Lifestyle
While there are a number of baking mixes on the market that may be used to easily whip up baked goods like cookies and cakes, The Great GORP Project is launching a protein bar mix based on a similar premise.
The Protein Bar Ready Mix makes it easy to create affordable, protein-rich bars at home that can be customized to one's liking. A single kit makes about 25 bars for a cost of about $1 apiece, which also helps to significantly reduce packaging waste. Varieties include flavors like Peanut Butter & Raspberry, as well as Cocoa, Hemp & Banana.
At the recent 2017 NEXTY Awards at Natural Products Expo East, The Great GORP Project Protein Bar Ready Mix was named the Best New Pantry Food.
