My favorite past time in a grocery store is looking at food labels and trying to figure out a food product that has few ingredients and the ingredients that are good for your health.
So I decided a few weeks ago to check out the Energy bars available. I was shocked at the amount of sugar I found, some as much as candy bars.
Energy Bars were used in the past mainly by athletes, but over the last 10 years with everyone on a health kick the bar Industry has rocketed. Many times the bar is a quick lunch or breakfast!
After 4 weeks of looking at bars at every store I walked into, I finally found 1 company that has 11 ingredients, most have over twenty. The most important requirement for me was that all the ingredients be Whole Foods not processed and the sugar should come from natural sources not added and not more than 2 teaspoons which is 8 grams.
This bar is not a high protein bar, but it’s a bar that you can have if your on the run and need some energy. It has only 5 grams of sugar and 7 grams of protein.
The Name of the company is Thunderbird Real Food Bar. It’s made with nuts, seeds and dates. It can be part of the Mediterranean lifestyle.
There are no artificial ingredients and it is soy and dairy free and vegan.
I love the Hemp +Sunflower +Pumpkin Seed.
If any of you find others that are better or similar, please let me know.
