HOUSTON Nov. 14, 2005 - Labrada Nutrition's Lean BodyT Cookie Bars were voted "Best Breakfast Bar" and Best Overall in the December issue of Men's Journal Magazine.

"Some breakfast is better than none. And a breakfast with the right mix - carbs for energy, protein and fiber to head off the next hunger pangs, and enough flavor to make it feel like a treat - is better than the standard fallback bagel or doughnut," the article says. "The Lean Body Cookie Bar has enough calories - 370 - and protein - 30 grams - to keep you chugging along until lunch. It's also the only bar we've seen that you can heat up in a microwave, just like a breakfast pastry. And the taste? Let's just say you won't be pining for your Pop-Tarts."

The Lean BodyT Cookie Bars come in three flavors: Oatmeal Apple Cinnamon (the flavor that won the "Best Breakfast Bar" category), Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip, and S'mores flavors.

Labrada's Lean BodyT Hi-Protein Cookie BarT is also the first-ever microwavable high protein bar. And this bar's got nutrition to spare. It packs in 30 grams of high quality protein into what tastes like an oven-fresh baked cookie, and contains fiber and yields zero grams trans fats. The Lean BodyT Hi-Protein Cookie BarT packs nutrition into a dessert-tasting treat, and turns high protein into pure healthy indulgence.

"Even though this protein cookie bar contains a lot of protein, it's chewy, soft and moist, like a real cookie tastes right out of the oven," Labrada President and CEO Lee Labrada says. "The Cookie Bar can also be heated for a few seconds in the microwave for a special treat."

The new Lean Body® Hi-Protein Cookie BarT is also available at fine health retail outlets.
