The Brand's Fastest-Growing Product Line Ever Adds Bakery-Style Flavors Following National Distribution Success

BOSTON, Mass. (October 22, 2026) — IQBAR, the brand dedicated to fueling the brain and body with clean, functional ingredients, is expanding its Protein Bites line with three indulgent new flavors: Cinnamon Roll, Cookies 'N' Creme, and Cookie Dough Chip. Available exclusively at Costco in 30-count variety packs, the new flavors are rolling out across Texas, Los Angeles, and the Pacific Northwest. For a limited time, Cookie Dough Chip bites are available online at IQBAR.com in 10-count bags.

A functional take on bake shop favorites, IQBAR Indulgent Protein Bites pair a crunchy, creamy, icing-like coating with a delicious dough core for all the decadence of a bakery treat, minus the sugar crash. Each bite delivers 5g of plant-based protein, 5g of fiber, 1g of sugar, and just 2g of net carbs, along with brain-supporting nutrients like magnesium, lion's mane, vitamin E, MCTs, and flavonoids to support focus, mental clarity, and sustained energy. Ultra-clean and just 100 calories per bite, they're also Clean Label Certified, Non-GMO Project Verified, Certified Vegan, and Certified Gluten-Free.

"Protein Bites have become our fastest-growing product line ever because people don't want to choose between a treat and real nutrition," said Will Nitze, CEO and Founder of IQBAR. "We packed functional ingredients into decadent flavors to not just satisfy a craving, but fuel consumers through their busy days."

Since debuting with PB&J flavors in March 2026, IQBAR Protein Bites have expanded to national distribution across thousands of doors as the brand's fastest-growing product line ever. The launch also follows IQBAR's refreshed look and website, which put fiber, one of the brand's key nutritional benefits, front and center. Since the new packaging first appeared at Costco in June, sales have averaged 88% above IQBAR's 2026 weekly average in its first two weeks. IQBAR continues to make whole-body nutrition, including fiber and protein, more accessible than ever.
