Ingredients
Chia Seeds
Chia seeds are one of the most nutritious foods on the planet! They’re loaded with fibre, omega-3 fatty acids, high quality protein and several essential minerals.
These tiny seeds have lots of health benefits and may improve digestive health, lower blood pressure and reduce the risk factors for heart disease and diabetes.
“chia” is also the ancient Mayan word for “strength” and with so many nutritional benefits, there was no way we could leave them out of our secret formulation!
sunflower seeds
Sunflower seeds are the gift of the beautiful sunflower.
Filled with protein, fibre and essential minerals like vitamin E, folate and copper, these mildly nutty seeds are packed with polyunsaturated fats (good fats)
If that’s not impressive enough, sunflower seeds are also a naturally rich source of phytosterols, and when present in the diet, are believed to reduce blood levels of cholesterol and enhance the immune system.
Activated charcoal
Firstly, this isn’t the same kind of charcoal you use on your BBQ so don’t go chomping on a piece of briquette. It is made from the same base material but has been activated at high temperatures to create a fine black powder that is capable of absorbing toxins.
Activated charcoal works by trapping toxins in the gut, it can carry the toxins bound to its surface out of your body, thus preventing their absorption.
A detoxifying ingredient with lots of claimed health benefits.
Peanut Butter
Peanut butter is a natural source of protein and healthy fats, so it was a no brainer to make this tasty treat the base for all of our keto protein bars.
A concentrated source of nutrition, rich in heart-healthy vitamins like folate, vitamin E, magnesium and resveratrol.
What’s not to love!
Pumpkin Seeds
Pumpkin seeds, also known as “pepita” (a Mexican Spanish term) are full of valuable nutrients including iron, calcium, B2, folate and beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A.
A small amount can provide you with a substantial quantity of healthy fats, magnesium and zink.
Green, lean, and a great source of protein.
Coffee powder
Not only a delicious flavour in our Coffee Mocha bars but a key ingredient to help keep you alert and focussed.
Caffeine is found in a huge range of fat-burning supplements - and for good reason. It’s one of the few natural substances proven to aid fat burning.
Coffee also contains antioxidants and other active substances that may reduce internal inflammation and protect again disease.
Rosemary
As well as being an incredible flavour to add to our bites range, Rosemary is also thought to help boost the immune system and improve blood circulation due to antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds.
That’s not all, this power plant is also considered a cognitive stimulant and can help improve memory, boost alertness, intelligence and focus.
Za'atar
This is a spice you may not be too familiar with, but it is very popular in the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions.
A combination of thyme, sesame seeds, sumac and salt, it’s super rich in antioxidants and has a number of proven health benefits.
Tangy, toasty and nutty in flavour, studies have shown that Za’atar helps to improve your mood.
Due to its high content of flavonoids and polyphenols it can also boost metabolism and provide a source of energy. We wanted to bring the wonders of Za’atar and its zesty flavour for you to enjoy.
Grean Tea
Green Tea is the one of the least processed types of teas and contains a high level of antioxidants and beneficial polyphenols.
These antioxidants can reduce inflammation in the body and protect cells from damage.
Consuming green tea can have a positive effect on weight loss too, aid digestion and can help prevent a range of heart-related issues.
So an all round great ingredient to add to our Keto savoury products
Psyllium Husk
This one's hard to pronounce but a fantastic form of fibre for your body!
It is a prebiotic, which is an essential substance needed for probiotics to grow in the gut. As well as being a great aid for digestion there is research showing that a daily intake of psyllium can be an effective way to lower cholesterol and help lower your risk of heart disease.
We’ve added this ingredient to all of our Keto bites to give you an all-important fibre boost as most of us don’t usually get enough in our daily diet!
Pea Protein
Made by extracting protein from yellow peas, our pea protein is naturally vegan, gluten-free and contains all the essential amino acids.
This makes it a fantastic hypoallergenic ingredient for repairing and rebuilding muscles.
As member of the legume family (as is the peanut!) peas when converted into powder format become easier to digest and the protein they contain is at least 95% digestible.
So there’s no wonder why we’ve added this powerhouse of protein to our whole range!
Erythritol and Stevia
With our Keto bars we needed to add a little sweetness of course, but wanted to do this in the optimum way possible.
Here's an explainer as to what we've decided to include in them and why
Erythritol
This is the best keto friendly e-sugar from all those available on the market as it has the lowest possible impact on blood sugar and will not kick you out of ketosis like many other sugars or sweeteners will do.
So if erythritol is so good then why do we add stevia to the mix? Well because when we add stevia in small amounts to our bars because of the taste profile of stevia it means we can actually use less erythritol as a result and still keep the net carbs really low!
This is in our eyes the perfect combination for making our Keto bars as delicious and nutritious as possible!
