Whole Food Protein Bars
As the demand for healthy snacks continues to increase, so has the number of healthy raw and whole food protein bars available on the market. Indeed, with the rising incidence of obesity and diseases such as diabetes and heart disease in North America, many consumers have become increasingly food savvy. This means, among other things, consumers are reading product labels and choosing to steer clear of artificial ingredients such as colours, flavours, sweeteners, and anything that they can’t pronounce.
Whole foods are foods that are either not processed at all or processed very minimally. Whole foods include whole grains, fruits and vegetables, lean meats like chicken and fish, milk, yogurt, legumes, nuts, and seeds. Raw foods have not been processed, cooked, or heated over 48C. These include fruits, vegetables, sprouted grains, nuts, seeds, and fermented foods.
When it comes to snacking, whole food and raw food bars, unlike conventional snack bars that are often loaded with sugar and artificial ingredients and preservatives, feature only wholesome (usually organic) ingredients, like nuts, seeds, fruits, and low glycemic sweeteners. As such, raw and whole food bars satisfy hunger and the occasional (or not so rare) sweet tooth and improve your overall nutritional profile.
Benefits of Whole Food Protein Bars
- Boost Energy
- Easy to Digest
- Healthy, Clean, On-the-Go Nutrition
- Support for your Active Lifestyle
Varieties of Whole Food Protein Bars
Raw and wholefood snack bars are surprisingly plentiful on the market and come in an impressive variety of flavours. Some emphasize superfoods, greens, and antioxidant-rich berries, which are an excellent way to bolster your overall nutritional profile while satisfying your hunger. You can also find a variety of raw and superfood bars that cater to sports nutrition by providing a solid dose of protein and a range of ingredients to boost energy and promote exercise performance and recovery.
Some of the most common ingredients found in raw and superfood bars include: sprouted & fermented brown rice protein, pea protein, hemp protein, organic quinoa protein, and alfalfa protein, nut butters, chia seeds, green powders (wheat grass, barley grass, spirulina, chlorella, etc.), dates, as well as a range of fruits and vegetables.
Final Thoughts
Natural, wholefood snack bars are a convenient choice when you're looking for on-the-go nutrition that’s healthy and satisfying. However, when choosing, there are certain ingredients you should steer clear of. To fully reap the benefits of your healthy snack bar, avoid any bars with: added sugar (most notably high fructose corn syrup), sugar alcohols, "natural flavours," soy protein isolate, inulin, fractionated palm kernel oil, and soy lecithin.
