Crickets. Yes, each Coast Protein Bar contains 10g of natural cricket protein! Some of you might be asking, “why”, or just saying “no”, but before you knock them, know that crickets happen to be extremely nutritious. In addition to being a complete protein, crickets contain zinc, iron, magnesium, omega-3 and omega-6.

If your stomach has started growling, you can go ahead and order your protein bars and powder from the Coast's Kickstarter page. In less than 24 hours, the local company has managed to raise more than $10,000 (just over half of their goal). Looks like the next super food has arrived!
