Z-Crisp® Capabilities
Candy bars are often full of gooey caramel, crunchy filling, nougat, nuts, or all the above! Even though a candy bar isn’t a healthy food, it doesn’t mean you can’t add more protein with Z-Crisps®.
These protein crisps have a variety of possible applications such as a topping for ice cream or yogurt, an inclusion within snack and candy bars, and many other applications. Also, the crispiness can enhance mouthfeel and provide an even more exciting texture for the consumer!

- Whey
- Pea
- Cocoa Flavored Whey
