health magazine: DETOUR® Whey Protein Energy Bar Rated 'Best Protein Bar' in Men’s Health Magazine
World’s Largest Men’s Magazine Awards ‘Best Protein Bar’ to a Growing List of Accolades for DETOUR
Carlsbad, Calif., May 12, 2006 – NEXT Proteins, the leading producer of a full-line of whey protein products under the DESIGNER WHEY™ brand, has just learned DETOUR Whey Protein Energy Bars received the “Best Protein Bar” award from Men’s Health magazine…the second year running.
The 85 gram Caramel Peanut DETOUR Whey Protein Energy Bar has received the “Best Protein Bar” award from Men’s Health in their June 2006 article, “The 125 Best Foods for Men”.
The editors of Men’s Health, along with nutrition advisors and staff meet annually to determine which healthy products will make the grade to score their coveted “Best Food” award. For the second year in a row, DETOUR Whey Protein Energy Bars won the “Best Protein Bar” award.
With over 10,000 new products launched annually, Men’s Health was challenged with eliminating foods that contained less than desirable ingredients such as unhealthy trans-fats but at the same time, maintained an excellent taste profile. Based on the criteria established by the leading magazine, DETOUR Whey Protein Energy Bar scored another #1 spot in 2006.
David Jenkins, 3 time Olympian and creator of DETOUR Whey Protein Energy Bars, states, “It’s no surprise DETOUR would receive this impressive award for the second year running. DETOUR was developed to provide a healthy alternative to the current protein bars on the market…without sacrificing taste!” Jenkins explains, “We’re extremely proud of our ability to produce fresh bars daily at our own facility in Nevada – it’s an advantage we have over the competition.” Jenkins adds, “The recognition received from one of the premier men’s magazine, Men’s Health, is truly fulfilling.”
