WHY WALLABY
You know there are many snack bars, energy
bars and health bars on the market, so what makes the Wallaby bar so
special?
Its all the good things you will find in a Wallaby Bar. See
for yourself what goes into a Wallaby.
Omega 3 |
Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids or EFA’s are required by the body and can only be obtained by digestion. Omega 3 EFAs are essential to proper brain function, they help to keep nerve cell membranes flexible. Omega 3 EFAs are also involved in immunity, digestion, circulation and the maintenance of body temperature (homeostasis). |
Calcium |
Calcium builds strong teeth and bones, it is involved in blood clotting, muscle contraction and nerve impulses. |
Dietary Fibre |
We all know how good it is to have some roughage in your diet, need we say more. |
Rice extract |
A natural brown rice syrup used to sweeten and bind the ingredients together. Not nasty like sugar and its good for your digestion. |
Real fruit pieces |
Well its fruit in pieces! |
Vanilla flavour |
From the pod of course! |
Potassium |
Potassium is an electrolyte (a substance that maintains your body's fluid levels), this mineral helps regulate blood pressure and heart function. Research shows that increasing your potassium intake can lower your blood pressure. |
Vitamin C |
Need we explain! We all know its good for us! |
Vitamin E |
Vitamin E acts as a powerful antioxidant by neutralizing free radicals in the body that cause tissue and cellular damage. Vitamin E also contributes to a healthy circulatory system and aids in proper blood clotting and improves wound healing. |
Iron |
Essential for strong and healthy muscles and organs. |
Soy Protein |
Soy Protein is very low in fat, contains no cholesterol and contains phytochemicals that are strong antioxidants. Good Stuff! |
All the other bars tell you how good they are for
you, how great they taste and how natural they are – but very few
are. Often they are packed with things that really aren’t
that nice or very good for you.
To save you the trouble, we’ve read a lot
of labels and have listed some of the ingredients that raised our concerns. We
can certainly guarantee that you won't find any of these things in a
Wallaby:
Glucose |
Another name for sugar. We don’t add any of this to the Wallaby bars & treats. |
Honey |
More sugar. Sorry none of that in Wallaby bars & treats either. |
Peanuts |
Very cheap to buy and not a lot of nutritional benefits in them either. Full of nasty fats too! No peanuts in Wallaby Bars & Treats |
Preservative 220 |
Derived from coal tar, known to provoke gastric irritation, nausea, diarrhoea, skin rash, asthma attacks and difficult to metabolise for those with impaired kidney function, also destroys vitamin B1, and should be avoided by anyone suffering from conjunctivitis, bronchitis, emphysema, bronchial asthma, or cardiovascular disease. Now that doesn’t sound very healthy! |
Preservative 223 |
Similar to 220! |
Emulsifiers 471 |
Mono and Di-Glycerides of Fatty Acids, now that sounds scary, allows water & oils to mix, mostly derived from soy beans, seeds, peanuts and maize. |
Substitutes, like soy grits |
A nut substitute – why not just use the real thing? |
Trans fats |
Very bad things like hydrogenated oils & palm kernel oil – not the good fat we need to stay healthy, this in the unhealthy kind. |
Glycerine |
Could be from animal
fats. It is commonly used in cosmetics – yuck! |
Hydrogenated Oil |
Very bad trans fats – not the good fat we need to stay healthy, this is the unhealthy kind. |
