Reflex Nutrition R-Bar

Reflex R-Bars are the highest quality low carb high protein bar - a bold statement but at Echo we can't see ANY other bar on the market with such a clean ingredients list and absolutely NO nasties in there.

The protein in R-Bars is milk protein so of a very high quality and the source of fibre used has minimal impact on blood sugar levels. On top of this Reflex have managed to make a bar with NO artificial sweetners which is really incredible considering there is minimal (2g) sugar in the bar as well.

There are a range of flavours in the Reflex R-Bars - if you're a chocoholic then "Double Choc Brownie" is for you it really does have that intense brownie taste. Choc Peanut Caramel is similar with a strong taste to really quench those chocolate cravings!

White Chocolate Raspberry

Double Chocolate Brownie

Cookies & Cream

Chocolate Peanut Caramel

Cherry Bakewell

If like me you're more of a white choc / fruity flavour fan then Cherry Bakewell and White Choc Raspberry Ripple flavours are delicious and in ALL flavours the texture of the bar is soft all the way through without needing to warm them up first - again this is a real contrast to other bars that are a real struggle to chew down without a microwave.

If you aren't sure what flavour to go for we can put together a mixed variety box (stock permitting) for you and at Echo we are definitely happy to recommend the Reflex R-Bar as our protein bar of choice for those looking for the absolute highest quality!

Let's have a look at some of the most impressive features of the Reflex R-Bars

Key Benefits

• 20g Protein Per Bar - This is the same as you'd find in a typical medium chicken breast or a standard tin of tuna fish, but it is from the highest quality protein source, whey protein. Whey is the MOST bio-available protein (your body uses it all) and contains the highest levels of the all important BCAAs (branched chain amino acids) and L-Glutamine, it's like whey was MADE for muscle building! That's not all though; Reflex only use EU sourced whey protein which means you can be assured that it is free from harmful rBGH (recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone) - an artificially engineered hormone found in US milk which has been linked to a wide range of illnesses including cancer and diabetes.
• 9-10g Fibre Per Bar (dependant on flavour) - a high fibre diet is helpful when you are looking to lose weight or maintain a low body fat as it isn't digested & broken down for energy, rather fibre passes through and helps keep the digestive tract working. Fibre also helps to relieve constipation which (without going into unnecessary detail!) can be a problem when you're following a high protein, low-ish calorie diet. Because fibre isn't broken down like other carbs it also won't be stored as fat. In addition, as you might come to expect from Reflex the QUALITY of the ingredient used is important. Reflex use soluble gluco fibre in their bars which gives them their soft texture - by contrast other brands (most notably Quest Nutrition) use soluble corn fibre which makes them very hard to the extent that many people put them in the microwave for 10 seconds to soften them up; this is NOT something you need to do with Reflex R-Bars!
• High in Good (mono / poly unsaturated fats) - due to the use of Almonds in their bars the Reflex R-Bars are packed full of good fats (typically over 5g depending on flavour) which are incredibly important to incorporate into your diet and have been linked with a HUGE range of health benefits, though increased heart health is probably the most important. As you'd expect from Reflex, trans fats are virtually zero.
• High in Antioxidant Tocotrienol (DeltaGold) - This seems like a small addition but the health benefits of Vitamin E and in particular DeltaGold are stacking dramatically as more research is done. The main benefits of this form of Vitamin E include lowering cholesterol, reduced risk of coronary heart disease, reduced blood pressure, reduced UVB induced skin damage & anti-ageing effects - among others! It's a nice touch and one that most brands wouldn't even THINK of including!
• No Artificial Sweeteners - Although consensus on artificial sweeteners looks a LONG way off there is some feeling that while they are generally safe to consume they could increase appetite in some people. Reflex have opted for Stevia which has virtually no effect on blood sugar levels but sweetens the bars up nicely. At Echo we've found that some customers we chat to in store found that the FIRST time they tried an R-Bar they found it bland in comparison to other bars on the market but after going through a box they actually found that the other bars now seemed excessively sweet.
• No Palm Oil - While it doesn't have any effect on the nutritional spec of the bars, Reflex have opted not to use palm oil due to it's catastrophic effects on the habitats of animals around the world - most notably but certainly not exclusively in Borneo & Sumatra where over 90% of the Orang Utang habitat has been destroyed in the pursuit of the palm oil industry. A nice touch from Reflex we think

Reflex R-Bars are suitable for Vegetarians, Coeliacs, a Halal diet but not a Vegan diet (due to the use of whey derived from milk).
