Vaughn’s Treats has officially relaunched, and while the functional food company from Vaughn Walker started with a protein bar in the light and crispy Rice Krispies Treat format, that product is no longer present. The star of the gradually growing and refreshed brand is Protein Pretzels, and as good as Vaughn’s Treats’ first-ever offering was, this one looks even more delicious, and it is in a format that you almost never see compared to the extremely common and traditional protein bar.
The newly released Protein Pretzels from Vaughn’s Treats come in the form of small, bite-sized crunchy pretzels that are covered in decadent milk chocolate or sweet white chocolate, as there are two flavors, named after their outer layer in Milk Chocolate and White Chocolate. The protein isn’t up in the area of 20g; it’s a more moderate, snack-sized amount at 12g with a much higher 30g of carbohydrates, only a gram of that sugar, 3g of fiber, 11g of fat, ending on a calorie count of 240 a bag.
The protein-to-calorie ratio is certainly more on the snack, better-for-you side, as 12g of protein for 240 calories is well off the 20g of protein and 200 to 220 calories in most bars, but the enjoyment you’ll get from it will be much more than the majority of the dense and doughy bars out there. You can purchase Vaughn’s Treats all-new Protein Pretzels through its recently reopened online store at a low $14.99, but that is for a pack of four, $3.74 each, in your choice of Milk or White Chocolate.
