In the (Healthy) Zone

Oct 29, 2009

For all those consumers who want to eat better but just can’t pass up decadent chocolate desserts, Columbus, Ohio-based Abbott Nutrition has debuted ZonePerfect Indulgence Nutrition Squares. The high-fructose-corn-syrup-free treats come in varieties reinterpreted from classic dessert flavors — Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse, Caramel Toffee and German Chocolate Cheesecake — but contain 18 to 19 vitamins and minerals and 10 to 11 grams of protein per serving. A four-pack of 1.58-ounce squares retails for a suggested $6.99. To find out more, visit www.AbbottNutrition.com.
