The Primal Pantry, the brand that launched the UK’s cleanest snack bars, is releasing a new range of completely natural protein bars.
The brands uses only a few high-quality, natural, cold-pressed ingredients in each of their new Primal Protein bars, without any additives, preservatives, flavourings or colorants. The resulting bars are a perfect mix of protein, fats and carbohydrates, each containing over 10g of quality protein and around 200 calories, it said.
The 55g bars are available in two flavours – cocoa orange and mixed berries – with a recommended retail price of £1.99 per bar.
They include protein from hemp powder, made from 100% raw ground hemp seeds. Containing all 20 amino acids, hemp is considered a complete protein and complements the bars’ high concentrations of fibre and omega-3. Organic where possible and made in the UK, both bars contain dates, almonds and coconut nectar. The mixed berry flavour combines pumpkin seeds, raspberries, apricots and goji berries, while the cocoa orange variant features cocoa, cocoa nibs and orange peel.
Carbohydrates are provided by the dates and coconut nectar. The whole dates used are high in fibre and nutritionally superior to other common carbohydrate sources used in other sports nutrition products because, The Primal Pantry said, while they contain simple sugars for quick release energy, the fibre in them helps control a sustained energy release when compared with common gels and energy products that lead to a sudden sugar rush.
The natural fats in the bars come from the nuts and seeds, which help provide fuel for the body over longer exercise periods, alongside a host of other general health benefits.
A spokesperson for the brand said: “The Primal Pantry Protein Bars are a great clean and natural protein and energy source, which power your body as nature intended.”
