Research published in the British Journal of Nutrition showed people who choose foods with a low Glycaemic Index as part of their normal diet, had lower blood sugar levels than those who don’t. As a result they have less risk of developing heart disease and diabetes in later life. This is because foods which have a low GI release their sugar content in a more controlled way, which avoids peaks and troughs which can cause energy dips.
Snacks are notoriously high GI - but with the GI Sense Bars you can nibble between meals safe in the knowledge you are not setting off a round of new cravings and as they satisfy you for longer, you’re less likely to overeat later. Because of the low-carbohydrate level and high protein value, these bars are also suitable for diabetics.
GI Sense Peanut and Almond Bars are perfect if you  are a nut-lover - there’s no ’hunt the nut’ with our bars as the chunky pieces found in our bars are suitably satisfying. And if you find yourself racing for the biscuit jar in the afternoons this crunchy bar could be just what you‘ve been looking for. And the indulgence doesn’t’t stop there - part coated in a white chocolate flavour coating, you’ll find it hard to believe this bar can actually enhance you diet! With only 145 calories per 35gram bar, they are also brilliant for people following a calorie controlled diet and more satisfying too. For example, a Nuts About Crunchy Nuts Bar comes in at 212cals for 40g.
If you are a self confessed chocoholic or find yourself dreaming of slabs of milk chocolate when you are trying to lose weight or control your calorie intake, snap up the GI Sense Chocolate Crispy Bars. The layer of smooth dark chocolate which enrobes the base of the bar provides a decedent chocolate fix, while the crispy topping keeps your snack light and satisfying. With only 122 calories per 35gram bar, they’re the answer to a chocolate-lovers prayers and less calorific than a CocoPops breakfast bar which comes in at 84cals for just 20g - with a fraction of the protein.
And you’d never know from looking at the fabulously funky packaging these bars are a healthy snack option. Along with their taste, their appearance is a world away from the functional, medicinal, wrappers of other high-protein bars.
GI Sense Bars make a great on-the-run breakfast and are brilliant to keep in the car in case you need a snack while traveling. And if you need a nibble before going to the gym, these will fill you up without being so heavy you suffer cramping during your work out.
