9bar Review

9bar Review:
Thanks to 9bar for sending me out this box of samples to taste and review!
The 9bars are one of the best natural bars I have ever tried!
These are the six flavours I tried;
  • Original
  • Flax
  • Nutty
  • Peanut
  • Fruity
  • Pumpkin
Each bar is 50grams and does not contain any of the following;
  • Wheat
  • Yeast
  • Eggs
  • Artificial Flavours
  • Preservatives
  • Trans Fats
9bar is proud to make their bars from natural foods like nuts, seeds and a carob topping!
Inside each bar is packed full of nutrients coming from their nuts and seeds, each bar is packed full of good Omega fish oils, Vitamin B2 and Magnesium to help boost your Metabolism!

Even though the average bar contains around 270 calories per 50 gram bar, I made sure I got full use out of all the nutrients from the bar by having one after my workout!
This is the best time to have a high calorie snack, as your body is craving a sugar boost, due to the fact your glycogen levels are low and need refilling!

My personal favourite bar was the Original! Even though I liked all the bars this one topped it for me!
From now on I'm always going to get a 9bar for my Post Workout snack!
You can find 9bar on Social Media on;

Facebook - 9bar
Twitter - @9Bar_Official
Instagram - @9Bar_Official

I would recommend visiting the website and buying a multipack to find your favourite bar!!

Fruit Bowl Review

Fruit Bowl Review:

Thanks to Fruit Bowl for sending me these free samples to review.
Here is what received;

A little about Fruit Bowl is that their products are made from real fruits with no added sugars.
They are made with natural colours and flavours, they also count to one of your 5 a day!
My personal opinion is that they taste so nice and give you that energy boost!

My favourite packet was the Fruit Sours, as they gave you that sour taste.
As you can see from the picture below I had the packets during my workout!
Giving you that extra energy kick.

I try to keep my diet clean and healthy during the day, but I do take some fast acting sugars during my workouts to keep my blood sugars high, giving me a better intensity during  my workouts!

If you are interested in getting that intra workout buzz or want to try them out, then please visit the website!

Tilda Rice Review

Tilda Rice Review:

Thanks to Tilda Legendary Rice I'm here to review their product, Also to give you an understanding of when to have this in your daily diet.
Here is a photo of the four flavours I tried and sampled;


 
The Flavours are; Wholegrain Brown Basmati Rice, Wholegrain Pilau  Basmati Rice, Lime and Coriander and Sweet Chilli & Lime.

Each packet contains 250 grams which you can Microwave or Boil.
The Calories vary from 150-180 calories per 125 gram serving!
Also each 125 gram serving has  2.5 - 4 grams of Fat!
However all Tilda rice sachets are gluten free, suitable for vegetarians and free from any artificial colours, flavours or preservatives!

Which is good for people with dietary problems.

As my Blog is based on the Fitness side of reviewing food products,  I want to help you choose the right rice to eat at the correct time of your daily lifestyle!

Pre Workout: (at least 60mins before your workout)

I would recommend having a serving of Wholegrain Brown Basmati Rice in your pre workout meal!
Reason being is that this rice is Wholegrain meaning it will take longer to digest in your body, giving you a longer lasting energy source!
I personally noticed a big difference in my workout, I had so much more energy during my hour workout.


Post Workout: (Straight after your workout, within at least the first hour after finishing)

I would recommend having the Sweet Chilli & Lime rice in your post workout meal, Causing a spike in your insulin levels and helping the body absorb nutrients needed to begin muscle repair and muscle growth!

 
Here is the link if you need anymore information on the product! http://www.tilda.com/
