Low-Carb Crisp Power Pretzel-Style Snack to make U.S. Debut in March
If it looks, tastes, and crunches like a pretzel, it’s undeniably one – especially when it’s the protein-packed, low-carb wonder of Crisp Power. Founded by Gilad Zilberberg, the mind behind Dream Pretzels, Crisp Power is gearing up for its U.S. debut in March. As a sister company to Dream Pretzels, Crisp Power brings a snack revolution, where intelligent choices meet extraordinary flavors to power everyone’s day, whether it’s a workout, work or party time.
“We are excited for wellness enthusiasts in search of high-protein, low-carb options to discover Crisp Power. After years of perfecting our recipe, we’re thrilled to present a crunchy snack with the flavor of an everything bagel and the crunchy texture of a satisfying pretzel,” said CEO Zilberberg.
Crisp Power, a brand committed to functional food, has crafted a pretzel that boasts high protein and low carb content, containing a mere 6g of carbs and an impressive 27-28g of plant-based protein per 1.7-ounce pack! Each pack provides a whopping 56 percent of the daily value of protein.
Created from a distinctive blend of proteins originated from grains and legumes, the protein-packed pretzel contains all the essential amino acids vital for health and muscle development. With high bioavailability, it has earned FDA recognition as a “Good source of protein” in the diet.
But that’s not all – the pretzels are not only baked, sugar-free, high in fibers (36 percent of DV per pack), and free from artificial colors or flavors, but they also boast an irresistible crunch. It might sound almost too good to be true, but it is.
The patent-pending recipes, abundant in protein, cater to everyone, not just athletes! Ideal for vegans, those following a keto lifestyle, individuals with diabetes and wellness enthusiasts.
The pretzel-style snack is revolutionizing how simple it is to eat between meals. Every bite satisfies the craving for a savory treat yet empowers snackers to get what they need in a new way – beyond protein bars and power bites. Instead, anyone can enjoy the power of the pretzel as a quick snack straight out of the bag or paired with hummus, healthful dips and cheeses.
For those looking to grab a quick bite on the go, fuel up for a workout, or share with friends and family, Crisp Power is designed to fit seamlessly into everyday occasions. In the snack aisles often dominated by empty calorie options, Crisp Power aims to stand out as a beacon of health and flavor. Crisp Power is proud to introduce a product that challenges the norms of the snack aisle and offers a nutritious alternative. By entering the grocery shelves, the new protein pretzels will transform how people perceive snacks, showing that indulgence and health can coexist. Whether nestled among traditional snacks or highlighted in a health-focused section, Crisp Power is set to revolutionize snack time, offering a guilt-free, protein-rich choice for those in search of something better.
Away from the hyper-caloric sweet bars and the usual empty-calorie crunchy snacks, Crisp Power heralds a new era in snacking, where taste and health are no longer mutually exclusive to satisfy those cravings for a crunchy snack.
Crisp Power will be rolling out on Amazon in March and at wholesale grocers later this year.
