Rx BAr Review

5/3/2019

I was lucky enough to have got sent a box of RX Bars to try after having a wonderful chat with the UK RX Bar team at the Natural Organic Products Europe Show a few weeks ago.
Currently talking about creating a partnership with their wicked brand!

At RX Bar they believe in a product with NO BULLSHIT!
Yep that right - no bullshit.
Each bar only contains a few natural ingredients (literally what it says on the front of the packaging) and I absolutely love that I know exactly what I am putting in my body. No crappy bulking agents, no dodgy supplements, all natural known ingredients.

HOW FAB IS THAT!

Each bar is around 200kcal and has 12g of natural protein - No whey in sight.
They are perfect as a pre-workout snack or as a cheeky top up between meals. Because I am busy most days, I struggle to find time to sit down and eat my meals, so this is perfect for me to grab and eat on my way to coaching/ training/ work.

Have a look whats inside RX Bar HERE

On average the macros are not bad!

Around:
7-8g fat
17 - 19g carbs
12g protein

Slightly higher in sugars that a processed protein bar but this is perfect as a natural energy boost for that mid afternoon slump or before a big workout.

Taste is on another level though, bars have perfect chewy but soft texture and do not get stuck in your teeth¬!
Flavours I have tried so far are, peanut butter, blueberry (OMG), chocolate sea salt and coconut chocolate.

The bars are all pretty close in flavours, but the blueberry one is something else, and something you wouldn't usually find in a protein bar which makes it so unique. Very close second is the chocolate sea salt, its so simple but so satisfying. I've never been a huge fan of salt on sweet stuff, but I might just be swayed by this!

Coconut chocolate is a great balance between the two flavours, they both complement each other rather than one over powering the other. And peanut butter is just good old reliable peanut butter; smooth and silky and peanutty.

Cannot fault them on this product AT ALL
100% worth paying £2.25 for! You will not be disappointed.

THE BEST PROTEIN BAR I HAVE EVER TRIED!

At current I'm pretty sure you can only purchase these online at https://www.rxbar.co.uk/

New customers receive 20% discount by signing up to the newsletter on their website - that is just £1.80 a bar!

WHAT A BARGAIN !!!!!

CHOC CHICK PRODUCT REVIEW - CACAO NIBBLES

2/10/2019

10 Comments

These are a great energy boost that I like to have in between my lifts at my competitions.
Half a pack after finishing my 3 snatches normally does the job and helps with my performance for my clean and jerks.

I first discovered this wonderful company at a food expo in London and I'm so glad that I did. I've been using a number of their products for a while now and my favourite has got to be the cacao nibbles.
I going to be honest I was a tad sceptic as to how these would taste, from previous encounters with cacao nibs. If you know, you know.. but raw cacao is quite bitter and can often smell like alcohol at times, so I was plesantly surprised by how these tasted.
They are still pretty close to the raw nibs, however they have been coated in a thin layer of yacon syrup. It adds enough sweetness to take the bitter edge off without making them too sweet.

They still have that great crunch but without that lingering alcoholic taste raw nibs leave in your mouth. They are rather moreish and are a great pre workout snack.
Even Terry Crews love the nibs..

Outside of competition snacks I love to add them into yogurt, especially protein yogurt which has become one of my go to foods as of late due to its simplicity and 1 minute prep time.
Add some fruit, nut butter and top with cacao nibbles. You have got yourself a great tasting meal/snack that is great for any time of the day.
They also work really well on top of smoothie bowls and porridge.
You can also create your own healthy trail mix by adding 10g of these beauties to each portion replacing the chocolate drops you would find in store bought mixes.

These make a great addition to pretty much any sweet dish as they are so versatile, alongside the many health benefits that they provide.
Mood boosting flavonoids that are found in cacao help to relieve stress and can reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, asthma and strokes.They are also 100% vegan for all of you guys out there.

You can now find the cacao nibbles alongside their plantain bites and best seller quinoa pops in Selfridges, Wholefoods Market and Hisbe if you happen to live near Brighton.

At around £3 for a 60g bag they sound expensive, but trust me you will easily get 6 servings out of one bag as you only need a few to feel satisfied.
Choc Chick pride themselves in creating products that are ethically sourced and help to give back to the locals who grow produce the cacao beans.
10/10 would recommend any of their products to anyone! Amazing quality, super versatile and share the same ethical values as me towards farming and giving back to the system.
