JustBite snack review: Nutr!Break Nuts&Seeds

Not every snack makes it into the JustBite range! Each snack first has to go through a strict selection process. We're happy to give you a peek behind the scenes by regularly introducing you to a snack. You can read our findings and how we select in this snack review.

This time, we're taking a closer look at the Nuts&Seeds snack from Nutr!Break.

Nutr!Break, healthier fuel for a healthier body.

Nutr!Break is a proud Belgian brand through and through. Their mission? To offer more nutritious, natural energy snacks that are also incredibly tasty. 

Nutr!Break wants to give you a more nutritious source of energy, an efficient fuel that helps prevent energy dips and keeps your blood sugar level stable. And they achieve this with their groundbreaking ingredient, isomaltulose.

Unique ingredient: Isomaltulose

Nutr!Break has succeeded in naturally creating powdered isomaltulose from beet sugar. Isomaltulose is a natural sugar that's absorbed much more slowly by our body than classic or other natural sugars. Thanks to its low glycaemic index, it doesn't cause strong fluctuations in your blood sugar level.

This way, you avoid energy dips and headaches, drowsiness, loss of concentration, and other unpleasant effects. Your body gets the energy it needs, released in a controlled and even way, for a productive day.

What's more, scientific research has shown that isomaltulose stimulates fat burning in the body. Always a nice bonus, right!?

Products with isomaltulose are also very kind to your teeth, so you can enjoy your more nutritious snack without worry.

Snacks with isomaltulose are therefore a safe, more nutritious choice.

Snack in the spotlight: Nutr!Break Nuts&Seeds

The Nuts&Seeds snack from Nutr!Break tastes great and contains only natural ingredients that keep you feeling full for longer. This way, you avoid those dreaded energy dips that do nothing for your concentration.

Isomaltulose gives the Nuts&Seeds nut and seed bars a deliciously crunchy crunch and a lightly sweet taste.

Do you have diabetes? Then you can enjoy this snack with peace of mind, thanks to its low glycaemic index that keeps your blood sugar level stable.

When's the best time to enjoy Nuts&Seeds bars? They're great for an energising start to the day at breakfast, but just as ideal as a more nutritious snack any time!

Are you a keen athlete? Nuts&Seeds bars can give you the strength and energy you need before and during sports and endurance activities too.

Why are Nuts&Seeds bars part of the JustBite range?

Our snacks have to pass a strict selection process before they earn a spot in our range. Ingredients, composition and taste are all key criteria here. Here's a quick look at why Nuts&Seeds bars sailed through our test with flying colours.

Ingredients

Nuts&Seeds bars contain only fully natural ingredients: seeds, nuts and isomaltulose. 

Nuts and seeds are a top choice for a snack thanks to their many benefits, though most of us don't eat nearly enough of them. A tasty Nuts&Seeds bar can help you close that gap.

Isomaltulose, in turn, provides slow-release sugars that give you steady energy, so you can power through hunger-free until your next meal.

Composition

Nuts&Seeds bars are vegan and packed with important nutrients in just the right balance. Here's a quick rundown of the highlights.

Rich in omega-3 fatty acids: Omega-3 helps fight inflammation in the body and plays a key role in preventing cardiovascular disease. It also gives your immune system a boost. 

Low in saturated fat: Our bodies absolutely need fats to function well, and unsaturated fats are the best of the bunch. Does that mean you should ban saturated fats completely? No, but enjoy them in moderation. Nuts&Seeds bars are low in saturated fat, making them a solid choice.

Rich in dietary fibre: 

Nuts&Seeds bars have a great sugar-to-fibre ratio. Fibre helps you feel fuller for longer and is a must in a more nutritious diet. It lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease, bowel cancer, obesity, and more. Fibre plays a key role in maintaining a healthier gut flora and keeps things moving smoothly!

The balance between sugars and fibre is spot on in this snack. A more nutritious snack has a sugar-to-fibre ratio of 1 to 4, ideally 1 to 3. The Nuts&Seeds bars sit nicely in between.

High in natural protein

The Nuts&Seeds bars contain a generous 14 grams of protein per 100 grams. Like fibre, protein helps you feel fuller for longer, and it's an essential building block for your body. It helps build and maintain your muscles, provides a valuable source of energy, and gives your body essential amino acids.

Eating enough protein supports muscle recovery and fat burning, and this snack gives you a solid head start.

Rich in magnesium

Magnesium is an important mineral that helps keep our bodies running smoothly. We can't produce magnesium ourselves, so we need to get it entirely from our diet. Magnesium plays a key role in many processes, but it's probably best known for helping relax your muscles and supporting you when you're feeling tired. It also contributes to strong bones and healthier blood pressure.

Handy to know: your snack is also rich in magnesium!

Taste

How your snack tastes is pretty much the most decisive factor! If it doesn't taste good, you won't enjoy your more nutritious snack either. We've done the testing for you, and we're excited to say the Nuts&Seeds bars from Nutr!Break taste great. 

Of course, taste differs from person to person. That's why we always have our snacks tasted by different people. Only snacks that win over the majority of our testers pass our taste test.

Our taste verdict? The Nuts&Seeds bars have a lovely crunchy bite thanks to the isomaltulose. The sesame flavour really comes through, giving these bars a taste that's reminiscent of classic sesame bars, but without the overly sweet, sticky finish.

Conclusion

The Nutr!Break Nuts&Seeds bars are ideal as a more nutritious snack and passed our test with flying colours!
