PhD Smart bars are fantastic small protein snacks to take out with you on the go. For convenience factor and a fantastic nutritional breakdown the smart bar is in my top 5 protein snacks. It is great for use post workout or can simply be used in between meals to bump up daily protein intake. The carbs come from fructose from real fruit sources and with a generous protein content the smart bar is a great option for someone who may not be able to fit in all the meals they may need in the day.

PhD Nutrition’s Smart Bar™ fills the void left behind by modern-day nutrition bars crammed full of sugar, hidden carbohydrates, gelatine, artificial preservatives and other ingredients that essentially are no good for those seeking optimum health and vitality. The Smart Bar™ contains No artificial sweeteners! The major source of carbohydrates within the bar comes in the form of 100% natural fruit juice, which as many of you will know contains fibre and naturally-occurring fructose, a carbohydrate with a low glycemic rating of 23. Whilst many protein bars contain potentially-unhealthy (delete comma) ingredients such as corn syrup, glucose, hydrogenated fats and other such additives, the Smart Bar™ is purity in comparison. PhD Nutrition were determined to create a nutrition bar that differed from the rest of the market. Our objectives were clear:

1. PhD didn’t want the bar crammed full with artificial sweeteners. (v)
2. PhD wanted a natural and healthy carbohydrate source that rated low on the glycemic index. (v)
3. PhD wanted the bar to contain healthy nutrients not usually seen in a sports bar. (v)
4. PhD wanted a nutrition bar with Whey Protein and Micellar Casein for slow, steady release of amino acids throughout the day. (v)
5. PhD insisted that no nutrition bar in our range would contain hydrogenated fats or gelatine. (v)

Balance and necessity
Athletes need balance in our daily diet. Excessively low in any nutrient and you are essentially missing out on all the benefits that each nutrient can supply to the diet. Smart Bar™, provides the ultimate, healthy bite-size, dual-action protein bar, which serves as either:

* A pre-workout snack with just the right amount of protein and carbohydrates to ensure a productive workout.
* A snack between meals to ensure protein levels are maintained and constant throughout the day
* A late night snack complete with dual-acting protein sources and naturally-occurring fibre to ensure a slow and steady release of amino acids.
* An ideal mini-meal whilst on the road or throughout your regular day.
