Nutribar has revamped its product and is introducing an enhanced formula for its meal replacement bars. They now have a source of fibre and omega-3 polyunsaturates.

Nutribar says the products are formulated to provide the body with the equivalent of a nutritionally balanced meal with fewer calories.

The bars are available in the pharmacy section of major retailers including Shoppers Drug Mart, Metro, Wal-Mart, Zellers and Pharma Plus.

Suggested retail prices range from $9.99 to $13.99 for a multi-pack, depending on retailer, and between $3.17 and $3.67 for an individual snack bar.
