From cake bites to cookie-like wafers, Optimum Nutrition makes a range of protein-packed products and it is now introducing its first-ever savory ready-to-eat protein snack with ON Protein Ridges. These snacks take the form of crunchy baked whey protein squares that fall somewhere between a chip and a cracker. The Protein Ridges are coated in savory spices to create unique flavors like Sour Cream, BBQ, Honey Sriracha and Cheese.

A single, one-bag serving of ON Protein Ridges provides 15 grams of whey protein, offering a convenient way for people to fuel up on the go without feeling guilty about their snack choice. These snacks nourish with just 170 calories and only a few grams of sugar, plus they help to satisfy demand within one of the fastest-growing functional snack categories.
