What is Protein Layers?
Protein Layers is a packaged, layered snack bar designed to provide a substantial amount of protein. It is a modern convenience snack rather than a dish tied to a particular regional food tradition, and its layered format makes it easy to carry for a quick bite.
The layers offer a mix of textures, and it is usually eaten straight from the wrapper between meals or after activity. It can also work as a portable snack for a commute or a busy day. With 30 g of protein and 8 g of fibre per 100 g, it has a more filling nutritional profile than many everyday sweet snacks. If you prefer a lighter portion, eat part of the bar and save the rest for later.
