Abbott launches nutrition bars

Libertyville Township-based Abbott launched a nutritious snack with ZonePerfect Cookie Dough Bars, the first full line of soft, chewy cookie dough nutrition bars offering antioxidants, vitamins and minerals and an excellent source of protein.

A creative blend of taste, texture and nutrition, ZonePerfect Cookie Dough bars are now available in three flavors: Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter and Oatmeal Raisin.

The bars feature 10 grams of protein and contain between 170 and 190 calories.

The company says there is no raw egg in the bars. They are available nationwide in the nutrition aisle at grocery stores, drugstores and mass merchandisers.

The ZonePerfect brand provides balanced nutrition for busy people who refuse to sacrifice great taste.  Full-size ZonePerfect Nutrition Bars are a good source of at least 17 essential vitamins and minerals and contain 170-220 calories and 10-15 grams of protein per serving.  They are available in 21 flavors that appeal to taste preferences at any time of day.
