THE BEST CHOICE IN WHOLE-FOOD NUTRITION BARS
Made with high-quality natural ingredients, each 56-gram bar contains an impressive list of sprouted grains and grasses that maintain superior nutritional integrity and enzymatic activity. Formulated with almond butter for a smooth texture and sprinkled with minced almonds, the BG Bar contains Super Blue Green Algae for additional support.

Because it is made using whole foods in correct proportions and contains no artificial ingredients or chemical extracts, the BG Bar presents a naturally well-rounded and extraordinary nutritional profile.

The BG Bar packs an incredible nutritional punch with a pleasing consistency and scrumptious flavor—making it the best all-around choice for whole-health goodness!

A Word About Fat Content
Almost all of the fat content in the bar is from almond butter. Of the fat in almond butter, only 10% is saturated. Generally, the more unsaturated a fat is, the healthier it is. The saturated fat in the BG Bar amounts to 1.5 g, which is only 7% of the Daily Value (DV) as established by the Food and Drug Administration; the total fat is 11 g (17% of the DV). In other words, based on a 2,000 calorie diet, there is not an excess amount of fat (especially saturated fat) in the bar. The fats that the bar contains are natural, vegetable, mostly unsaturated fats. It is important to keep in mind that fats are a rich energy source, and are necessary to a balanced diet.

Nutritional Profile
Protein: One BG Bar provides approximately 10 grams of protein. The highly assimilable protein comes from a careful and specific selection of whole foods, including wild-crafted blue-green algae, almonds, sesame seeds, dulse, and kelp. This is complete protein, which means it contains all essential amino acids.

Essential Fatty Acids: Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids must be obtained from the diet. They are believed to promote numerous health benefits, such as enhancing proper brain functioning. The fatty acids in the BG Bar come from the almonds, almond butter, bluegreen algae, flaxseed, and sesame seeds.

Carbohydrates: The BG Bar contains a mixture of complex and simple carbohydrates. This combination allows it to be more slowly absorbed by the body. The type of ingested carbohydrates (simple vs. complex) makes a difference in insulin response. For example, most so-called nutrition bars contain high amounts of heavily processed fructose syrup, dextrose syrup, and sucrose from beet or cane sugar. These are all simple sugars that result in a “high” followed quickly by a “crash,” so they are unable to offer sustainable energy. Since the BG Bar contains both simple and complex sugars, there is a minimum fluctuation in blood sugar during absorption, which means that the BG Bar offers a higher level of sustained energy over a longer period of time, without the sugar “crash.” The BG Bar also has a good amount of soluble and insoluble fiber.

Organic Ingredients: Certified organic ingredients in the BG Bar include: crispy brown rice, Super Blue Green Algae, oat sprouts, quinoa sprouts, wheat sprouts, sprouted millet, and sprouted spelt. All the ingredients in the BG Bar are grown and processed under the best possible conditions to preserve their nutritional value.
