What's in your Granola Bar?
Granola bars are the perfect fit for when you’re looking to grab a healthy snack and head out the door. But have you ever wondered what’s in them that actually makes them so good for you?
Not all bars are made equal - some can contain high amounts of sugar and preservatives that can make them appear healthier than they actually are.
But at Nutrilov, we’re on a mission to make snacking better for you! That’s why our bars are made with pure oats, coconut oil, honey and nuts - making them jam-packed with nutrients and the perfect companion for your health journey.
Read on to get the full breakdown of exactly what you are consuming every time you treat yourself to your favourite Nutrilov granola bar!
- Oats: Oats are a good source of complex carbohydrates, which can be a long lasting and sustained source of energy. Oats also contain a special type of soluble fiber called beta-glucan, which not only improves cholesterol levels, but also helps you control your appetite and feel full - making it the perfect breakfast.
- Nuts: Our Almond Cappuccino, Chocolate Brownie and Peanut Butter & Raisin bars are all made with protein rich nuts. Protein is an essential ingredient for building and repairing muscle tissue for people of all ages. Walnuts and almonds both contain antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties that can help ease muscle soreness. Walnuts are also rich in omega-3 fatty acids and have been known to improve heart and brain health.
- Coconut oil: Coconut oil contains healthy fats that improve energy levels and improve endurance for physically active people. Coconut oil is also known to help increase metabolism and is a preferred choice for individuals with goals of losing weight.
- Honey: Known as nature’s elixir, honey is an ingredient full of nutrients and antioxidants that help prompt gut health and regulation of blood sugar, and can provide an immediate boost of energy.
So when you’re consuming our bars, not only can you support an active lifestyle for any age, but you can also promote muscle recovery and consume ingredients that support weight loss and help you meet your health goals too!
