LO CARB choc-coated protein bar

Whilst emptying out a lunch box last week I found a wrapper from a LO CARB choc-coated protein bar which had been  purchased during a sport's carnival.

First on the ingredient list was an unusual name- 'Aussie Bodies' protein blend (32%). The first  3 components in this blend are Whey Protein Concentrate, isolated Soy Protein, & Whey Powder Isolate- ALL ARE FORMS OF MSG & sources of processed Glutamic Acid. I couldn't believe it.

There is also 'no added sugar' but instead they have used maltitol- an artificial sweetener which has been linked to intestinal discomfort & diarrhoea. Maltodextrin and flavours (both MSG ) appear near the end of the long ingredient list. Not the type of ingredients that go into helping create 'healthy Aussie Bodies' at all.

Needless to say none of my family will  be consuming this product again and hopefully, you and your friends have become more informed consumers on this type of product.
