Arla Foods Ingredients has developed a suite of protein and calcium-rich snacking solutions for kids that offer a healthier alternative to chocolate bars and other popular children’s snacks.
Among the new solutions in the range is a delicious and easy-to-eat 35g ‘dairy bar’ that offers as much calcium per serving as in one glass of milk. It is 20% protein and low in calories. Benchmarked against a typical chocolate bar, it contains one third less energy and, since more of the calories come from protein, energy release in the body is optimised.
This helps youngsters to feel fuller for longer than they would with confectionery, where more of the energy comes from sugars.
