PROTEIN POWER
One of the ways to combat the
dreaded afternoon slump where
sugar is all you can think about
is protein.
But many people are concerned
that some snack bars are not
created equal – while being high
in protein they can also be loaded
with sugar, which can defeat the
purpose of having a healthy snack.
It was feedback like this that
inspired Nice & Natural to create
the Protein Nut Bar range. Every
bar contains 25 per cent protein
but also has less than 4g of sugar.


SUPERSEED SENSATIONS
Th e bars are based with a
nourishing mix of chia, pumpkin
and sunfl ower seeds which is a
powerful way to include excellent
nutrients like protein and
antioxidants into your diet.1, 2
Th e Nice & Natural Protein Nut
Bars combine this superseed
mixture with other delicious
ingredients to create three
yummy varieties:

• (^) Cranberry, Goji Berry & Quinoa
With superfood berries and
quinoa, this bar also packs
a fl avourful punch.
(Sugar: 2.3g per bar)
