Raw Energy Bars: Explained

Posted by Coconut Magic on .


It can be quite a challenge to find a healthy and nutrient dense snack that also tastes good and is easy to carry at anytime of the day. This is how Coconut Magic’s raw energy bars were created: out of a desire to eat healthy whilst on the go. Minimizing the number of ingredients and maximizing the amount of nutrient was also a priority. Inspired from professional Ironman Triathlete Brendan Brazier’s book, Coconut Magic founder Jenni Madison decided to combine her high quality organic virgin Coconut Oil and Coconut Flower Nectar with a handful of other wholefood ingredients to create the best possible version of a high energy snack. In order to limit causes of inflammation in the body due to many common dietary restrictions, Coconut Magic’s raw energy bars have have been conceived vegan, gluten-free & soy free.

So what is it that makes these raw energy bars so amazing?

It all starts with Coconut Magic Organic Virgin Coconut Oil...

Coconut oil is one of the top sources of fuel for active individuals. It is composed of medium chain fatty acids, which are directly converted by the liver into energy. It therefore provides quick and sustained energy. In addition, MCFA are easily digested, thus putting less strain on the digestive system and leaving you with more energy. The medium chain fatty acids in coconut oil also help balance the release of insulin in the body, contributing to balance blood sugars. The dietary saturated fats found in coconut oil are essential for the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and minerals including calcium, magnesium, some B vitamins, amino acids and vitamins A, E, K & D. Coconut Magic Coconut Oil also keeps the bar moist and naturally stable avoiding the need for artificial stabilizers or preservative.

It continues with Coconut Magic organic Coconut Flower Nectar...

The nutrient-rich coconut sap that comes out of the tree is naturally abundant in 17 Amino Acids, the building blocks of protein. It has broad-spectrum B Vitamins, Vitamin C and Mineral. It is high in Potassium, essential for electrolyte balance, muscle recovery, regulating high blood pressure, and sugar metabolism. Naturally sweet and delicious, coconut nectar is a low GI (35), sucrose based sweetener, making it a healthy alternative for people with fructose sensitivities.

And it reaches full potential with a combination of various other whole foods...

...starting with dates. Dates are a good source of vitamins and minerals essential for immunity and muscle recovery such as calcium, iron, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, magnesium and zinc. They are also a great source of energy because of their high content in natural sugar and fibre.

...and topped up with nuts. Nuts are a dense source of unsaturated fat and protein and contain respectable amounts of potassium, magnesium, and several other required minerals.

These bars are the perfect on the go snack and provide you with the boost of energy and mental alertness needed to tackle a busy day.

They also make the perfect vegan pre or post-workout snack, as they are loaded with natural fruits and nuts, providing energy, essential fatty acids and protein to aid in muscle recovery.

Crumble your favourite bar over ice cream, pancakes, smoothies or warm otameal or spread some of your favorite nut butter over the bars for increased protein.

Freeze the bars during summer, then let them sit out for a few minutes before consuming to get the wonderful crunchy texture from the nuts.

We hope you enjoy these as much we do!
