ANAHEIM, Calif., March 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Today,
Rickland Orchards announces the launch of a new line of
CLVR bars blended with high-quality ingredients such as
super fruits, grains, seeds and nuts, sweetened with coconut sugar.
CLVR bars are currently enrolled in both the Non-GMO Project
Verified and Certified Gluten-Free programs, awaiting verification.
Launching at Natural Products Expo West, the bars are rolling out
to retailers nationwide and are available in three initial flavors:
Blueberry Cranberry Chia, Strawberry Banana Quinoa and Pomegranate
Mulberry Amaranth.
Rickland Orchards CLVR bars (pronounced "klev-er") are
meant to give snackers a clever and "real" option—meaning a focus
on smart eating and real ingredients such as fruits: blueberry,
strawberry, raspberry, apricot; ancient grains: chia, quinoa,
amaranth; nuts: cashews, almonds, brazil nuts; and a mix of other
ingredients—everything from dried fruit to flax seeds.
The goal is to provide a gluten-free, dairy-free snack bar that
is flavorfully certified vegan with low sodium and made with real
coconut sugar.
"It's time to get clever and start eating better at snack time,"
said Michael Sands,
B&G Foods, Inc. executive vice president of snacks.
"CLVR bars are perfect for people on the go who want to
upgrade their granola bars to a more nutritious choice."
The initial three CLVR bars include:
- Rickland Orchards CLVR Blueberry Cranberry Chia Bars —
Made with a blend of blueberries, cranberries and nuts including
cashews, almonds, pistachios, pumpkin seeds and sunflower
seeds
- Rickland Orchards CLVR Strawberry Banana Quinoa
Bars — With dried banana and real bits of strawberry and apricot,
this bar combines fruit with cashews, almonds, brazil nuts, flax
seeds and quinoa flakes
- Rickland Orchards CLVR Pomegranate Mulberry
Amaranth Bars — Made with cashews, almonds, raisins, pumpkin seeds
and raspberry and pomegranate bits combined with dried mulberries,
