Out of the hundreds of snack bars marketed as healthy options, only a handful stood up to the test and had any nutritional value, according to research by Choice magazine!



Many were loaded with sugar, salt and saturated fats, with one popular yoghurt nut bar delivering even more kilojoules than a mars bar! If that wasn’t bad enough, most of the fruit ingredients in health bars come from the laboratory instead of an orchard and therefore contain none of the beneficial nutrients found in real fruit.

So don’t be fooled by beautiful fruity images in the media when your snack may contain no real fruit at all! According to the CSIRO, for snacks to be a legitimate hunger bridge between meals, they need to add to your daily nutritional requirements of fibre, calcium, vitamins or protein and packaged options should be less than 600 KJs per serve.

Why choose high fibre snacks?



High fibre foods act as valuable “scrub brushes” for the digestive tract, removing waste products that have collected along the walls of the intestines. This may include a lining of mucus that blocks nutrients from getting to where they need to go.

When you eat a high fibre snack, it sweeps away and absorbs fat, mucous and waste material, keeping the colon clean and allowing better absorption of nutrients. Poisonous and toxic substances in the digestive tract are eliminated instead of being absorbed. This is the first step in preventing disease.

Research shows that high fibre diets reduce intestinal transit time of meals which may prevent colon cancer. High fibre diets may also reduce the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure and non insulin dependent diabetes as well as help overcome constipation and prevent gallstones.

Yet we are often too busy to eat well-balanced high fibre meals so it makes good sense to keep healthy portable snacks on hand.

Finally a real nutritional snack! : The Vitalite Sunbar

Finally a bar made with wholesome food ingredients, such as freeze-dried fruits, nuts, asparagus root and psylliium. High in fibre, heart-healthy natural soy protein and complex carbohydrates, these small fruity bars (yes real fruit!) are a great source of energy and assist the body's natural elimination process.

Sunbars really satisfy hunger, yet you will feel comfortably full and energised for longer.

They will help reduce unhealthy cravings and naturally keep you in shape. This is a great way to nourish and cleanse your body with real nutrition, not just fill the tank.

What makes Sunbars so healthy?

These all-natural bars are jam packed with fibre and nutrition and provide more nutrition in fewer calories! ie nutrient dense food which is something we should be eating more of. So that means more value and high fibre without the bulk or empty calories of sugars and artificial ingredients.

Sunbars are rich in protective phyto-nutrients, vitamins and trace elements.

Packed with herbs, nuts, grains and freeze-dried fruits you couldn’t ask for a better snack to fill you up, not out. The main ingredients are soy protein nuggets, apple juice concentrate, psyllium, almonds, lycii fruit, asparagus root, coix fruit, soybean oil, wheatgerm oil and vitamin E.



Psyllium husk ‘gets the train moving’ and keeps us regular, almonds, soybean oil and wheat germ oil provides a good source of healthy fats. Soy, banana and almonds gives quality protein and a dynamite combination of nutrition and natural sweetness.

Each bar is concentrated with 4g of fiber even though they are half as big as other bars. They are free of chemicals, artificial flavours, added sugars or preservatives.

Smart Snack & Bowel Cleanser in One!

The function of the Sunbar is to move through the digestive system, acting as a toxin or fat sponge, absorbing any nasties that have accumulated over the years. So you can think about it as spring cleaning yourself on the inside!



These bars improve the overall function of the digestive system while being a great low calorie, low sodium, high energy snack. Once the digestive system is clean, you will find that digestive problems are less likely and the nutrition we eat is better assimilated into our bloodstream so we get more out of our other foods as well.

Health Resort on Wheels for Travellers

For travellers, I call them a health resort on wheels because you can take them anywhere and return from a holiday or business trip feeling so much lighter and more energised, like you have just been on a health resort! (quite the opposite of what normally happens away from home)

Attention Parents: Healthy Snacks Means Healthy Kids

If your children are a bit hyperactive or hard to handle, then look no further than what they are snacking on … Often snack choices for kids and adults give short bursts of energy followed by crashes.

Yet healthier options should supply long lasting benefits to keep our energy high for longer and in a good mood naturally.

As a mother myself, I find being prepared makes all the difference; stocking up with Sunbars means we never have to settle for an inferior snack on the go when hungry or when we just need to get the teeth into something at home but not quite sure what that is!

Even my 21 month old daughter loves them and needs no convincing of their benefits. She is one of the few kids her age whose taste buds have not yet been polluted with sugary snacks (I am proud to say the sweetest thing she has ever eaten is dried fruit) yet she just loves the Sunbar!

In fact she often raids my handbag when I am not looking and finds them by herself! If you have children, don't give in to the junk food snacks that are mass marketed to kids. Once they acquire a taste for those ‘foods’, they're less likely to appreciate natural foods.

It’s up to you to lead by your healthy example and they will follow.



For big kids, not only is this a completely guilt-free snack, you can actually feel good about doing your body a favour every time you indulge in a Sunbar!

Attention Athletes & Gym-Goers: Eat Foods not Chemicals

Recently I had a look at the protein bars for sale at the gym and couldn't find even one that was made with real foods, not chemicals. It really made me appreciate our Sunbars, which are made with whole food ingredients.



They're so much healthier and provide long lasting energy for the body. Unlike most bars, they provide superior nutrition for athletes and are great fuel to energise the body before or after exercise.

How to enjoy Sunbars for best results

Eat as desired between meals for a quick and easy wholesome snack or as a meal replacement on the go. For best results consume with 500ml-1L of water or Fortune Delight. (see Throw Away Your Soft Drinks & Add This to Your Water Instead! )

Sunbars are often quicker to grab, less messy and easier to carry around than other snacks. They also have better shelf life so you can keep a good stock in the pantry, bag, suitcase, car or work desk as emergency foods to be well prepared when hunger strikes! So snack smart and be prepared with the best nutritional snack or meal on the go.
