Proteins and Pleasure: OPTIBAR® Redefines Cereal Bars
High-Protein, Low-Sugar Cereal Bars
OPTIBAR® is a specific blend of collagen peptides optimized for cereal bar production. With exceptional solubility, OPTIBAR® allows for the creation of bars that maintain a soft texture and pleasant mouthfeel throughout their shelf life, even with protein levels of up to 60%.
To maximize benefits, GELITA recommends combining OPTIBAR® with whey or plant-based proteins. While these provide structure, OPTIBAR® ensures a consistent and lasting smoothness.
A Sugar-Free Binder for Healthier Bars
In addition to its ability to enrich cereal bars with protein, OPTIBAR® acts as a sugar-free binder. This significantly reduces sugar content, allowing for “low sugar” or “sugar-free” claims in bars that retain their crunchy texture.
A Dynamic Duo for Healthy Cereal Bars
OPTIBAR® collagen peptide powder is versatile and efficient, ideal for both sweet and savory bars thanks to its neutral taste. It is easily customizable and compatible with a wide range of nutrients and flavors, making it perfect for a variety of cereal bar recipes.
Commitment to Naturalness and Sustainability
OPTIBAR® is a completely natural product, free from GMOs and artificial additives, making it the ideal choice for clean-label cereal bars. Additionally, its production process is simple and does not require boiling, resulting in lower environmental impact and reduced processing costs.
Natalie Leuwer, category manager for food specialties at GELITA, expresses her excitement about the opportunities OPTIBAR® offers to cereal bar manufacturers. With OPTIBAR®, GELITA aims to meet the growing demand for high-protein, low-sugar bars that do not compromise on taste.
