Nature Valley starts strong with new Protein Soft Bakes

Nature Valley from General Mills, the UK’s #2 cereal bar brand, has announced the launch of its new Nature Valley Protein Soft Bakes. The first of their kind to hit UK shelves, Oats & Honey and Blueberry & Almond soft bakes will be available in grocery and convenience from January 2021.

Protein Soft Bakes offer 8.4g of protein per bar for a deliciously chewy and satisfying eat, either at-home or on-the-go. With 38 per cent of consumers who eat cereal bars for breakfast looking for protein content, the soft bakes meet a specific, previously underserved, need.


In addition to upping protein intake, Nature Valley Protein Soft Bakes are made with 100 per cent wholegrain oats and barley and are high in fibre. These strong nutritional credentials, combined with flavours that appeal to the morning occasion, make the range a must-stock.

The launch of Nature Valley Protein Soft Bakes will be supported with a £1 million investment as part of the 360˚ "Get Out More" campaign. Nature Valley will also be running an activation in March to encourage the nation to enliven their morning start by grabbing a Nature Valley Protein Soft Bake and getting outside.

"Our new Nature Valley Protein Soft Bakes are the perfect, easy breakfast with an added boost of protein to help shoppers start strong," said Adrienne Burke, Marketing Manager, Snacking at General Mills. "We know 25 per cent of UK consumers eat cereal bars for morning fuel, and are looking for ways to increase their protein intake in the morning too. By offering a breakfast biscuit with high protein content that also delivers on taste, we’re meeting this demand head-on."

Nature Valley Protein Soft Bakes will be available in 4 x multipacks at £2.89 RRP and singles at £0.89 RRP.

Irish Whiskey brand Jameson has been the English Football League's (EFL) main spirits sponsor for two seasons and is deeply entrenched in all aspects of the league, including player sponsorships.
