To Snack or not to Snack? Healthy options for this festive season
Summer is here, and with that comes ice cream, chocolate, Christmas desserts and watermelon. How can you have a South African summer without watermelon? Exactly, you can’t. The rest of the list are not the healthiest options when it comes to quick snacks and tasty treats. Calories during summer often see a peak, not because people don’t take their diet seriously, but because we all need to let loose occasionally and spend some fun in the sun. Here we believe in the best of both worlds, so take a look at some of our delicious snacks and treats to keep you hydrated, satisfied, and coming back for more this summer!
Feeling like a chocolate bar?
But not feeling like the excess sugar and carbs that comes with it? Introducing Diet Pro Bars. With only 7.0g of carbs and 16.5g of protein per 50g bar, this mouth-watering protein bar is the perfect anytime snack to keep those taste buds happy. The Diet Pro bars are an easy go-to snack with low carbohydrates while being high in protein with added collagen and fibre. We recommend the double chocolate flavour (it’s as good as it sounds!!)
Or maybe you’re looking for something a little more filling? Our #21 Protein Bars have slightly higher carb content at 21g, with 21.2g of protein per 65g bar. Vacation often means trying to pack as much into a day as possible, while the Diet Pro bars are a great anytime snack the #21 Protein Bar is perfect for more hardcore gym and fitness enthusiasts hoping to increase protein intake during a busy day’s sight-seeing. Two bars a day equates to a small meal, except now it’s hassle free!
The real deciding factor here is what you’re looking to achieve. Low carb but high protein with added collagen, the Diet Pro bars are for you. If you’re looking for high carbs and protein with low sugar count, then you’ll be leaning more towards the #21 Protein Bars.
