A Healthy Snacking Alternative - The Simply Bar
HPG Tuesday, December 07, 2010
All natural and
Canadian made, The Simply Bar boasts more protein and less fat,
calories, carbs and sugar than your favourite natural snack bar – and
it doesn’t taste like a protein bar
The
Simply Bar has 16 or more grams of protein, 160 or less calories, iron
and a short list of all natural vegan, kosher, dairy- and gluten-free
ingredients.
The
Bar contains more protein and less fat, sugar and calories than any
other all-natural protein bar available in North America – making it
the most satisfying bar for your calorie buck.
Praised
by dietitians, MDs and naturopaths as the most wholesome protein-rich
snack on the market in Canada and the US, The Simply Bar fills you up
and leaves you feeling good – unlike other filling convenience foods
often packed with refined sugars, chemicals and fat.
The
Simply Bar is a satisfying breakfast on-the-go, a perfect 4:00 p.m.
snack that won’t ruin your dinner and an ideal post-workout recovery
meal.
As
a woman with Crohn’s disease, Wellness Foods Inc. founder Cathy
Richards designed The Simply Bar because she struggled to find a
high-protein bar that was not full of junk. It became Richards’ mission
to create a bar loaded with all natural, satisfying ingredients that
she could pronounce, and no chemicals or ingredients she couldn’t. “I
wanted a high protein bar with less fat, calories and sugar than the
leading bars, and I wanted it to taste good. It was a tall order, but
I’m proud to say that The Simply Bar isn’t chalky like many protein
bars – it’s crisp, light and it tastes great,” said Cathy Richards.
The
Simply Bar is also low glycemic, which has been proven to provide
constant energy throughout the day. Studies have shown that low
glycemic diets help people lose weight, reduce inflammation and promote
hormonal well-being.
The
Simply Bar’s natural, vegan, kosher, gluten- and dairy-free ingredients
make it especially easy to digest for those with food sensitivities,
and its high iron content makes it perfect for women and vegetarians.
The
Simply Bar comes in six flavours – Peanut Butter Chocolate, Cinnamon,
Cocoa Coffee, Cocoa Raspberry, Caramel and Lemon Coconut – and is
available at over 500 Canadian retailers including Whole Foods Market,
Loblaw, Fortino’s, Royal Canadian Super Store, Bulk Barn and better
health food stores. For a full list of retailers or to purchase The
Simply Bar online, visit: www.wellnessfoods.ca.

JOIN THE SWITCH!
How many new years have you kicked off by saying, “my diet starts now,” or “this year I’ll hit the gym every day”?
Simply Switches is trying something simple in 2011:
Simply Switches is our “get real” resolution – a campaign to make health a habit, one switch at a time.
What
are Simply Switches? They’re small, achievable shifts in eating,
exercise and lifestyle habits – simple changes that don’t require a lot
of effort, but really go the distance for your health. A Simply Switch
can be choosing a green tea instead of a sugary latte in the afternoon,
or going to a yoga class after work instead of going home to watch TV.
By making 2 or 3 Simply Switches each day, we’re inspiring positive changes that actually last.
Track
switches on Facebook daily (search “The Simply Bar”) with the help of
Registered Dietitian Mary Bamford. Come share your Simply Switches and
join the interactive discussion – talk about what works, what doesn’t,
and keep each other motivated!
To
keep you going, Simply Switches is giving away two boxes of Simply Bars
to a different participant each week. And at the end of the month, they
will give away 50 healthy lifestyle baskets, worth $200 each (because
come February, we’re all going to need a boost to keep switching!)
