It seems that everywhere you turn these days, people are awakening to the damaging effects that a diet can have on our bodies and our brains. Consumers everywhere are increasingly seeking foods that center on proper brain and body nutrition instead of what just “tastes good” and they are reaping the benefits. The team behind the IQ BAR, have created a series of tasty on the go bars that have that seek to fulfil proper full body nutrition including – nutrients for the brain; protein for the body; fiber for the gut and a reduction in sugar and carbs.
IQ BARS, come in a plethora of different flavor offerings including everything from peanut butter to matcha, almond butter chip and more and contain 6 brain nutrients, 10-11g plant-based protein, 4g net carbs, and less than 1g of sugar. They are designed to be keto, paleo friendly, vegan, kosher, and free from GMOs, gluten, dairy, soy, and sugar alcohols.
Each ingredient in their bars are specifically chosen to fuel the brain and the body and promote balanced crash-free energy, reducing sugar and carb intake but are high in plant-based, complete protein that is digestion-friendly. The flavours, too, are all natural, using extracts from 100% natural sources, such as plants, fruits, spices, and vegetables.
The name – IQ BAR – is also not a happy coincidence, in fact each bar also features specific nutrients proven to benefit brain function, including – lion’s mane, MCTs, omega-3s, flavonoids, vitamin-E, and choline. In fact, these brain nutrients have been carefully chosen because of their proven health benefits and are used in different parts of the world as they are proven to improve memory recall, foster the creation of new brain cells, lower levels of mental fatigue and sustain levels of attention and focus.
Our team were recently sent their chocolate and fruit lovers variety packs to try and we will say we were pleasantly surprised with the results. Most of the work we do requires a keen sense of mental acuity and stamina with many long hours writing and editing at our desks and the afternoon crash a common thing, often countered with a sugary pick me up. We consequently substituted all “snacks” with IQ BARS for one month and after just a few short days, many of our team reported increased levels of concentration, more sustained energy and focus and even felt fuller for longer.
While the team behind the creation of this product don’t make any outlandish claims about what their bars can do, you can’t dispute the fact that these bars are a near perfect snack option that is compliant with ketogenic, vegan, and Paleo friendly diets. The brain nutrients included are proven to assist brain function and most importantly, they taste great. As far as we are concerned, healthy ingredients that are good for the brain and the body, while reducing sugar and carbs in our diet, will always get our seal of approval!
