Whether you regularly consume protein bars because of their convenience, or you're looking for new, simple ways to incorporate more healthy foods into your diet, we want to introduce you to Read the Ingredients. We believe that what you choose to put into your body has a direct effect on your physical and mental well-being, and eating the right foods can give you the energy and focus you need to get through your busy day.
The best thing you can do to nourish your body is to consume whole foods that are closest to those found in nature. However, eating at home from a garden every day isn't realistic for most people. That's where the nutritionally-rich protein bars from Read the Ingredients can help. We didn't put all of our energy into creating just another bar loaded with empty calories; we set out to make something different. When you choose Read the Ingredients, you're buying a product made with nutrient-dense ingredients that nourish and satisfy, control blood sugar, support muscle growth, and promote overall health.
At Read the Ingredients, we've made it our mission to create the healthiest, tastiest protein bar on the market. We know that you have dozens of other options, so you might be wondering - "what makes Read the Ingredients so special?" The difference is in the ingredients we use. Sure, you can find other protein bars that claim to be healthy, but have you really looked at what's in them?
Like you, we scoured store shelves looking for the best, most wholesome options. Unfortunately, we became so discouraged upon reading what was in the products we were eating, that we decided to create our own. We understand that most people don't have the time to make their own nutritious meal and snack bars at home, which is why we decided to do it for you. When we created our Read the Ingredients Loaves and Big Bites, we did it using ingredients you would find in your home kitchen. Our bars are made with things like nuts, seeds, vegetables, fruits, grains, and cocoa.
If you want to look and feel your best, consider making some diet changes to see what a difference eating real, wholesome foods can make. Just because you don't have time to make all of your meals at home, that doesn't mean you can't still eat right when you're on the run. Read the Ingredients has all of the natural whole food ingredients you have at home, in one convenient little package!
When you're crunched for time, it's easy to just grab the first thing you see and head out the door. Even if you're trying to make a conscious choice to eat clean and only choose minimally-processed foods, you might not be getting all of the nutrients your body needs. Eating nothing but celery and carrot sticks is certainly good for your fiber intake and it might help you lose a few pounds, but eating this way doesn't provide the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients your body requires. If you're looking for a fast and easy snack or meal, our protein-rich Loaves and Big Bites have everything you need. With nuts and seeds that provide wholesome fats, fiber, and protein, plus fruits and vegetables packed with vitamins, minerals, and disease-fighting antioxidants, Read the Ingredients' products contain everything you need to stay healthy and fuel your body during the day.
If you've tried your share of protein bars, you know that just about every one on the market has an excessively sweet taste. Whether they contain honey, brown rice syrup, cane sugar, or other sweeteners, more often than not it tastes like you're eating a candy bar rather than real, nutritious food. But is so much sweetness really that satisfying?
We think the food created by mother nature tastes best, and when you blend wholesome ingredients like nuts, seeds, fruits, and vegetables, you get a naturally delicious protein bar, with no need to drench it in syrupy sugar! If you're tired of those overly-sweet sugar-bombs that are disguised as something good for you, try the Loaves and Big Bites from Read the Ingredients. The slightly sweet taste of our products comes from things like apples, bananas, and sweet potatoes, not glucose syrup, sucralose, or sugar alcohols.
When it comes to healthy eating, the grocery store can be an overwhelming and confusing place. Just wander down a few aisles and browse the products to see claims of "natural", "gluten-free", and "made with organic ingredients". But just because a product makes one or even all of these claims, does it necessarily mean that it's good for you?
Many food companies know that the majority of consumers won't take the time to read the full ingredient label, so they clearly proclaim what they want people to see on the front of the package. This gives shoppers a false sense that a food item might be good for them, when in fact, it is not. The only way to know for sure what you are putting into your body is to read the ingredients!
Whether you're a performance athlete or a mom on-the-go, you shouldn't have to compromise when it comes to eating healthy. Today's savvy shoppers want choices that are gluten-free, all-natural, and made with organic ingredients without adding in things like gums, sweeteners, and preservatives. Who says that you can't have it all?
At RTI, we understand your frustration with not being able to find options that check all of the boxes and that's why we created our wholesome meal and snack bars. Our all-natural, gluten-free bars are also free from dairy, added sugars, and sweeteners, plus we've also left out the gums, oils, and preservatives so commonly found in other products. There simply isn't any other product on the market like it.
There are several popular bars out there that claim to have benefits like being gluten-free, rich in protein, or high in whole grains. While all of these things are good, you'll have a hard time finding a protein bar that's also low in sugar. Many processed foods contain added sugars. These come in many forms and you won't always see them listed as just "sugar" on the label. Just take a look at some of the ingredient labels of packaged foods in your house. Corn sweetener and high-fructose corn syrup are certainly ingredients to be on the watch for but don't forget about healthier-sounding alternatives like honey, molasses, and fruit juice concentrates.
Consuming too much sugar has been linked to obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Plus, sugar is often associated with the highs and lows you experience throughout the day. Feel like taking a nap every day about an hour after lunch? Sugar is likely the culprit.
Consuming a diet that is low in added-sugar should be an important consideration if you're trying to live a healthy lifestyle. At Read the Ingredients, all of our products are free from added sugars and sweeteners. You'll notice that our bars have only a mild sweetness, which is provided by the naturally sweet taste of the fruits and vegetables they contain.
If you're looking for the perfect combination of healthy, natural ingredients, low-sugar, convenience, and taste, look no further than Read the Ingredients. No other protein bars on the market provide better nutrition for your dollar. Just see how these other "healthy" snack foods compare to one of our RTI Big Bite bars:
