Perfect Nutritional Bar
The choice and variety of nutritional bars is overwhelming and every day there is a new bar that promises to suppress cravings, replace meals, or provide super foods to help our digestion, provide increased energy, or generally improve our well being
In recent months, I conducted research for perfect bars that are naturally beneficial, that are not another candy bar that are so called "nutritional bars" coated with chocolate and filled with too much peanut butter.
I developed my top choices based on ingredients, nutritional values, taste - that includes texture, originality of flavours and final finish in mouth and of course how satisfying the bar was.
My first choice is WildBar that comes in two flavours - Mountain Mint and Mayan Spice. This bar has a delicious and refreshing taste, with a hint of dark cacao, mint or cayenne pepper depending on flavour, and plenty of goodness that comes from Wild Blue-Green Algae that are known for its valuable properties to improve concentration, increase mental energy and enhance mood. Mountain Mint is especially delicious. Its organic ingredients combine cacao with macadamia nuts, fresh vanilla and a hint of peppermint, together providing pleasure with every bite. Both are super rich in antioxidants and have excellent taste.
Another favorite is PranaBar. It has raw enzyme power and fantastic taste. It is combination of nuts and dry fruit. The exotic flavours of Apricot Goji, Coconut Acai, Pear Ginseng or Apricot Pumpkin deliver the ultimate pleasure in snacks. I lived on them while filming my dvd. These bars are a great energy source with nutritional properties. PranaBar all natural, great for vegans, is gluten free and has no added sugar. Its texture is smooth, but has slight a crunchiness from nuts or seeds.
I also enjoy LaraBar which has a wonderful combination of simplicity, flavour and energy boosting. My favourite flavour is Pistachio, and it combines only three ingredients: Dates, Pistachios and Cashews. Most of the other flavours like Cherry Pie, Coconut Cream Pie or Apple Pie combine no more than four ingredients, all natural and delicious. This bar provides plenty of energy and is very satisfying.
Its chewy texture is easy to consume while biking or hiking, and it is a great snack on the go.
My ultimate choice is GreensPlus energy bar. It is the best bar on the market that provides energy, protein and is all natural. It is super food for super health. I have been loyal to this bar since its first appearance on the shelves, and am I am thankful to it for providing me with an excellent snack option when I was pregnant and now for lunch/snack on the go. GreensPlus comes in original and chocolate covered flavours. I like them both, really depending on my craving. The company came out with another delicious alternative GreensPlus Omega3 Chia bar. It contains small pieces of Chia Omega3 which is rich in essential fatty acids. All GreensPlus bars are organic, and offer great taste and making bars a healthier experience!
