Foodspring Protein Bar Cookie Dough low calorie high fiber protein bar

Foodspring Cookie Dough - the taste of home-made butter biscuit with chocolate and almonds enclosed in a low-calorie protein bar that you can always have at hand. An energetic snack with an excellent consistency, suitable both for athletes as a dietary supplement and for everyone to satisfy a light hunger, and pieces of chocolate turn this reasonably balanced bar into a tempting sweetness.
Foodspring bars in this series are distinguished by an extremely high fiber content (17g in a bar, which is 28% of the bar's weight, and an unusually low caloric value combined with a standard / high protein content - 20g of protein in 190kcal is a rare, highly exaggerated result.

Foodspring Cookie Dough - from now on, providing high-quality protein in the amount of up to 20g does not have to be associated with the asexual and indistinct taste or rubbery consistency, which is represented by most bars.

Foodspring Cookie Dough bar in cross-section:

• as much as 20g of protein, or 33% of the bar's weight!
• 17g of fiber, i.e. 28% of the weight of the bar!
• only 1.8 g of sugar, of course of natural origin, is the sugar contained in milk and fruit
• sweetened with stevia and xylitol as well as naturally sweet IMO and FOS fibers - no maltitol, no sucralose

The source of fiber in Foodspring bars is polydextrose, a type of water-soluble fraction of dietary fiber that is not digested in the upper digestive tract. Natural thickening polydextrose has fewer calories than regular sugar (1 kcal / gram compared to 4 kcal / gram in normally digestible carbohydrates) and has a low glycemic index (GI = 4-7), which means that it has no significant effect on increasing the level of glucose and insulin in the blood, which is why it is used in products for diabetics.

The second sweet source of fiber in Foodspring bars that deserves attention is FOS - or oligofructose, otherwise known as fructooligosaccharides, a product of inulin hydrolysis, which is present in large amounts in tubers and roots of many plants. Oligofructose has health benefits and oligofructose syrup can be used as a sugar substitute thanks to its natural sweetening properties. Despite the similar name, FOS fructo-oligosaccharides have nothing to do with either fructose, let alone glucose-fructose syrup. Fructooligosaccharides are a completely natural ingredient obtained from vegetable and fruit extracts, they are found in large amounts in, among others, bananas, onions, asparagus or barley, and most often it is obtained from chicory. Fructooligosaccharides play the role of the so-called soluble fraction of dietary fiber, they are not digested in the upper part of the digestive tract and are resistant to hydrolysis by digestive enzymes - fructooligosaccharides are fermented only in the colon by anaerobic bacteria, where they act as a stimulus for the development of bifidobacteria in the large intestine - in a way they have properties similar to inulin (chicory root flour), but more soluble than it.
