Add some real chocolate chips and you have a heavenly balance of savory and sweet. As always, they also kept the nutritional balance, making the bar with rice protein to satisfy your cravings. No Wheat No Gluten No Soy Protein Vegan NON-GMO Verified Kosher They designed the Zing Bars so that their patients with Celiac Disease could enjoy a 100% natural snack that's both high in protein & gluten free. They hope you like them! Why These Ingredients Zing Bars are 100% natural with absolutely no artificial additives, sweeteners or flavors. They developed them for the health and well-being of their patients and from the kinds of ingredients we'd like their own kids to eat. Each bar has a nut butter base-peanut, almond or cashew-with added protein, fiber, agave nectar and either fruit or organic fair-trade dark chocolate. They chose the ingredients to provide the same complete nutrition that they recommend for all meals: Heart healthy fats High fiber High quality lean protein Low glycemic carbs For Heart Healthy Fats & Fiber: Nut Butters In addition to their savory, delicious taste, nuts are an extremely beneficial part of the diet. Here are just few reasons why: Nuts are loaded with fiber, protein and heart healthy fats known as monounsaturated fatty acids. Nuts are nutrient rich, meaning they contain a host of essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, most notably vitamin E, folic acid, magnesium and copper. Not only do nuts contain healthy fats, they have been shown to actually increase longevity. Take a look at their blog entry explaining how UCLA researches have found that regular consumption of nuts is associated with a two-year average increase in lifespan. They're also helpful for weight control when you use them instead of other fats. High Fiber They call fiber the unsung hero of the nutrition world because it has so many benefits and gets so little recognition. Most of us know that fiber improves digestive health and bowel regularity. But did you know that it also decreases cholesterol, regulates blood sugar, improves immunity and provides a food source for the beneficial bacteria in their gut? It also supports weight loss by making us feel full and reducing the temptation to overeat. So in addition to the fiber in the fruit and nuts, they add inulin from chicory root fiber, which has a number of great benefits: Inulin acts as a food source for the "good" bacteria in their gut, helping them out-compete the "bad" bacteria, like yeast The extra fiber from the inulin slows the release of sugar into their blood stream, preventing blood sugar spikes Inulin also makes us feel full, part of the reason Zing Bars satisfy for hours High Quality Lean Protein Each Zing Bar contains between 10 and 13 grams of vegetable protein, the equivalent of nearly two ounces of lean turkey or chicken. Protein boosts metabolism, builds muscles, and supplies the raw nutrients for cellular repair and maintenance. 5 or 6 grams isn't enough to make a difference, while 20 to 30 grams, like you find in many muscle building bars, creates a chalky, artificial taste without providing any added metabolic benefit, since your body can't use that much all at once. 10 to 15 grams is the sweet spot, which is why they use that amount. Three of their flavors use whey protein: Chocolate Peanut Butter, Almond Blueberry and Oatmeal Chocolate Chip. For those who prefer non-dairy, five use brown rice protein: Chocolate Coconut, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip, Cashew Cranberry Orange, Coconut Cashew Crisp and Dark Chocolate Mint. They also have two non-dairy bars that use pea protein: Dark Chocolate Hazelnut and Double Nut Brownie. There are advantages to each type of protein. Whey comes from milk and contains the highest Biologica
