THE INGREDIENTS
Our Fibre is a non-GMO soluble blend, specially formulated for our company using natural ingredients (derived from corn).
Our Protein Blend includes locally produced, micro-filtered, grass-fed, additive-free, non-denatured, non-GMO, soy-free protein.
We add a specially made, super-fine Raw Blanched Almond milk paste for added healthy, hormone-balancing essential fats.
Sweetened solely with the use of a rare type of pure Stevia, using only the tips of the stevia leaf, there is no bitterness. We don’t use any type of sugar alcohols or any other non-natural sweetener.
Our Natural Flavours are approved by FSANZ (Food Standards Australia New Zealand) as being an essential oil or extract from a plant source. Generally fermented and blended to mimic or match flavours.
We try to source our other ingredients, such as our semi-dried fruits and nuts, locally and organically when possible.
When we can’t, such as with our Organic Cocoa Butter from Peru, we ensure that our own handmade chocolate (due to its superior quality) is from a sustainable source.
That’s pretty much it for our ingredients; we keep it as short as possible. Quality over quantity, and nothing added without a real purpose that we would think twice about consuming ourselves.
THE PROCESS AND BENEFITS
We don’t denature our ingredients by exposing them to heat, unlike other health bars on the market. We are the true Cold-Pressed bar company. Minimal premium ingredients, sourced locally where possible. We make them for our families to consume without guilt, knowing that we couldn’t make them any healthier, any other way.
The benefits
We’re not here to educate you about the benefits of certain ingredients, to guide you on health, or to advise you on the latest or best diet to lose weight and/or gain muscle. We will, however, happily point out the facts as we know them to better understand why we chose the ingredients we did for our bars.
Fibre
Yes, as our name clearly states, FIBRE-BOOST, we are here to boost your fibre intake. Something severely lacking in most diets, especially Keto and other low-carb diets. Why more fibre? Soluble Fibre collects bile. Metabolic waste, hormones and other chemicals so they can be eliminated from your body. Without it, waste can and often does get reabsorbed into your intestines and then recirculated through your body, causing a toxic environment. This messes with your general and mental health as well as your hormones. Prebiotic fibre feeds the good bacteria in your GI tract. It improves digestion and metabolism as well as the absorption of other minerals such as calcium. It helps regulate blood sugar and insulin resistance, aids in appetite suppression and lowers inflammation.
Protein
As we all know, protein is an essential macronutrient. So why more protein? Reduces appetite and hunger – Calorie for Calorie, Protein is the most filling macronutrient, and it also reduces the hunger hormone ghrelin. Making weight loss easier and more sustainable. Burns calories. This is referred to as the thermic effect of food (TEF). Your body utilises a lot of energy (calories) digesting food. Especially protein, which has a higher thermic effect than fat or carbs. Especially from a whole source (not a protein drink). Increases muscle mass and strength. This might not be important to everyone; however, protein also helps prevent muscle loss during weight loss and for those who love their carbs, the bigger your muscles, the more room you have for storage before carbohydrate overspill (conversion to fat). Protein, for that reason, also helps your body repair after injury. Beneficial for bone health. Studies show that people who eat more protein tend to maintain bone mass better as they age and have a much lower risk of osteoporosis and fractures (especially important for women at high risk after menopause). Reduces Cravings and increases Dopamine levels. There are a multitude of studies on both men and women that show an increase in protein intake, especially during the day, reduced nighttime cravings, and a better mood. There are many more health benefits, including lowering blood pressure, reducing bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides, and reducing the risk of obesity, metabolic syndrome, non-alcoholic fatty liver, and cardiovascular disease.
Fat
Almond Milk Paste is a nutrient-dense food that has the majority (over 80%) of its fats being Monounsaturated Fat. Due to the process we use, the paste is not only raw but also ground super-fine, so it can travel through your bloodstream to maximise the health benefits. Monounsaturated fats can help reduce bad cholesterol levels (LDL) in your blood, which can lower your risk of heart disease and stroke. It can also boost testosterone production and therefore aid in reducing depression in men and women.
