Plant-based protein foods are booming
Protein is a macronutrient that we should incorporate in all our meals. That is why, currently, protein bars are the most purchased sports nutrition product because they are quick and easy to consume.
But are protein bars as healthy as we think they are? They are often associated with high levels of sugars, but the reality is different. It is time to help the sector to give the push it needs to go in line with health and wellness trends, providing foods rich in protein obtained from plant sources and that are becoming more and more fashionable such as peas, flax, chia, etc.
Glanbia Nutritionals: vegetable protein yes, innovation in your snacks, too
At Glanbia Nutritionals are experts in offering functional solutions to enrich protein bars and give them "that touch" you are looking for. They have a wide range of proteins specifically designed for application in sports bars. These solutions have traditionally been based on milk and whey blends adapted to achieve a wide range of functions: making bars with a high percentage of protein without hardening the bar, achieving different textures (e.g. mousse type), etc.
In addition, as of today, to respond to the vegan trend, they have added a new type of protein to their product portfolio: the vegan solution BarHarvest 801. A pea protein, partially hydrolyzed and with a clean taste, developed to maintain moisture and chewy texture in sports bars and cookies with a high protein content (they do not harden throughout the life of the product).
