Food Research Lab scientists formulated a new protein-rich energy bar for a client from France. We focused on making the bar so that its protein content and additional carbohydrates help the consumers stay energised during workouts, training or any other physical activity.. The energy bar also provides the post-workout nourishment the body needs to rebuild new muscle tissue and repair any minor muscle tears during workouts.
After several studies and after prior discussions with the client, we concluded the final priomary ingredients: spirulina, chlorella powders, coconut flakes, hazelnuts, lemon juice and zest, dates and chia seeds. We further made the combination into a smooth yet crunchy paste. We solidified the paste into a bar and added dry fruits like walnuts, sesame seeds and almonds. The product improved in taste and overall acceptance after these procedures. The final stable bar shape was achieved after slightly heating and rapidly cooling down the bar.
We made sure the composition of spirulina in the energy bar was substantial because spirulina is a protein-rich, rich substance with several micronutrients and antioxidants that significantly impact muscle repair and growth.
We formulated the energy bar in such a way that it provided very low carbs. Our client was overwhelmed with the product and particularly this common carb attribute of the product. This comes in handy for people who train and work out. If consumers miss their training or workout sessions, they can still eat this protein-rich bar due to its almost negligible carbohydrate content. Therefore, this bar can also be consumed by people looking to lose weight and old age people. Because of its overall functionality, the client was extremely grateful to Food Research Lab for developing a good and great product.
