Luna launches first organic protein bar for women

BERKELEY, Calif. Nutrition bar maker Luna announced the launch of its first high-protein bar for women made with entirely natural and organic ingredients.

Luna Protein satiates hunger and helps women more easily fit protein into their diet, the company said. At just under 200 calories, Luna Protein is a nourishing and delicious snack that satisfies sweet cravings with a chocolate coating and nougat texture— the closest consistency to a candy bar that Luna has ever offered. Additionally, it offers key vitamins and minerals essential to women’s everyday needs, such as calcium, iron, folic acid and vitamin D.

“Women shouldn’t have to struggle with finding portable protein sources when they’re on-the-go,” said Paula Connelly, Luna brand director. “Luna Protein offers women a convenient, portable, natural and delicious protein option to toss in their purse.”

Luna Protein, which comes in three varieties — chocolate peanut butter, cookie dough and chocolate cherry almond — now is available at grocery and natural food retailers nationwide at a suggested retail price of $1.39.
