ABBOTT PARK, Ill., March 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --Abbott's (ABT)ZonePerfect brand today introduces a new line of nutrition bars for active kids, Kidz ZonePerfect. Built directly with the help of parents and their children, Kidz ZonePerfect features five grams of protein, 23 vitamins and minerals and three grams of fiber, providing a nutritious snack option that meets kids' selective tastes.

Nutrition Bars Inspired by Kids

In a build-a-bar development workshop, the ZonePerfect brand brought together a group of children ages 4 to 10 years to design their dream nutrition bar. The kids were given a wide array of ingredients from dried fruits to chocolate chips, to protein sources and grains and asked to build bars to be judged by their peers. With those ideas, Kidz ZonePerfect was born. The result? Three delicious nutrition bars inspired by kids.

Kidz ZonePerfect is available in Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip and Caramel Crunch - both a direct result of the bar development workshops - as well as Yellow Cupcake.

Commentary on Kidz ZonePerfect:

From Tobe Cohen, division vice president and general manager, Performance Nutrition, Abbott:

Over the years, the ZonePerfect brand has focused on making great-tasting nutrition bars to fuel busy, active adult lifestyles. To get the right inspiration for our new children's line, we knew we needed to get out of the kitchen and into the minds of kids. Simply put, we had to bring our big kids together with little kids. The result was brilliant: three nutritious Kidz ZonePerfect bars in fun, youth-inspired flavors.
