4-3-2-1 Time to go for the Bar - Protein Bar

Protein is an important component of every cell in the body. Hair and nails are mostly made of protein. Your body uses protein to build and repair tissues. You also use protein to make enzymes, hormones, and other body chemicals. Protein is an important building block of bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, and blood.

Unlike fat and carbohydrates, the body does not store protein, and therefore has no reservoir to draw on when it needs a new supply.
I use them after workouts and even to supplement my meals, let me give you an example, as one of my meals today I fancied a salad ( Spinach, Carrot, Avocado and  Grapefruit ), not a great deal of protein in that so i add a protein bar to make sure  that I get my 20-30g per meal.


Fuel your muscle-building power.
The ultimate combination of flavor and performance to help fuel the building and rebuilding of lean muscle mass. 25 grams of protein and a nutritious blend of ingredients and antioxidants help muscles recover and rebuild, while boosting energy stores (or muscle energy) to ensure you are ready for your next workout.
