Nutrition Bars

These bars are great for anyone on the go, athletes, active people or anyone looking to drop a few pounds. For athletes, it's essential to keep nutrients flowing within the body to help sustain energy levels when working out. These are not athlete meal replacement bars but rather a "quick fix" bar, to keep your body and mind going strong when you may go longer than 3-4 hours without food. This happens more with college students. You never know if practice will run late or if you're studying at the library and miss dinner. That is why you should have a healthy snack with you at all times.

Low-Glycemic FormulaFoods with a low-glycemic index raise blood glucose slowly, resulting in more sustained energy. In contrast, high-glycemic foods, such as some white breads, cause blood glucose to rise rapidly. Nutrition Bars are formulated to be low glycemic, providing sustained energy and greater satiety throughout the day.
