Arms Race Nutrition had such a great 2022 that we named them PricePlow’s Breakout Brand of the Year (see our 2022 Supplement Industry Awards). One of ARN’s biggest hits last year was the launch of their Foundation Bar, a protein bar formulated to taste and feel like breakfast cereal.
They’re absolutely delicious – easily one of our favorite protein bars. We recently had ARN VP David Dodrill on Episode #083 of the PricePlow Podcast, where we discussed a few major announcements: Harness Evolution, Harness RTD, and two new Foundation Bar flavors. Almost two months ago, those new flavors were released: Fruity Cereal and Frosted Crunch Cereal, and they’ve been a smash success.
But now it’s even better: Here in May, Foundation Bars will be available in Vitamin Shoppe stores with a solid Buy 1 Get 1 50% Off discount!
ARN Foundation Bar now BOGO50 at Vitamin Shoppe
Foundation Bars’ flavors are absolutely spectacular. Fruity Cereal, for instance, has the perfect blend of sweetness and crunch, and is topped off with a delectable yogurt glaze. It’ll almost make you forget that it’s meant to be a protein-boosting, semi-nutritious alternative to empty-calorie sugary treats. And if you like that, we have even bigger news if you can get on into a physical store:
In-Store Offer: Fruity Cereal 25% off!
Beyond the BOGO50, if you want to keep the order smaller, snag the Fruity Cereal flavor in store for 25% off!
We’re going to dive into a little summary on the Foundation Bar formula, but first, let’s check the PricePlow for good ARN deals, and check out our video review of the new flavors:

ARN Foundation Bar Fruity Cereal Ingredients
You can read more in our article titled Arms Race Nutrition Foundation Bar: Crunchy Cereal Protein Bars, but below is a quick recap:

Arms Race Nutrition Foundation Bar is a new cereal bar from Julian Smith and team with 18 grams of protein and delicious cereal flavored crunch!
These bars aren’t meant to be sugar-free, cardboard like facsimiles of dessert. They do have sugar, and they taste like something you’d actually choose to eat as a guilty pleasure – just with a nice helping of protein to boost your macros. Frankly, it works.
- The 18g of protein comes from a combination of whey protein crisps, pea protein crisps, milk protein isolate, and collagen peptides, providing a very well-rounded protein profile. The crisps carry the majority of the load here, though, and we’re pumped to see one of the coolest forms of protein get its due while adding a lot when it comes to texture.
- The yogurt coating on the bars provides the majority of the carbs by way of sucrose (real sugar), with the rest of the sugars coming from the rainbow sprinkles and a dash of vegetable glycerine.
- The fats in the Foundation Bars are pretty clean – coming mostly from saturated sources like palm kernel oil and coconut oil.

Don’t forget, ARN Foundation Bars also came out with a Frosted Crunch Cereal flavor and nobody can put down those Cinnamon Crunch Cereal bars. For a full list of Foundation Bar flavors, check out our list below:
The perfect sweet snack at incredible prices
Over a year out from the original release of Foundation Bars, it’s safe to say that they’ve been massively popular. There are a ton of protein bars on the market, but the vast majority of them still don’t live up to the true dessert-style feel they’re going for. With the protein, it’s extremely difficult to get the texture just right, and the flavor always feels slightly off.
This is certainly not the case with Foundation Bars. Without the packaging, it’d be difficult to tell the bars apart from dessert snack bars that taste divine, yet leave a lot to be desired in the way of nutrition. As ARN has shown, it turns out that you can have your cake and eat it too.
Take advantage of the Vitamin Shoppe deal and stock up – it won’t last forever.
