Powerful Bar boasts a complete protein source derived from a unique blend of nature’s powerhouses: pumpkin, sesame, chia, sunflower, and flax seeds. Each 50 g serving packs a powerful punch with 5.32 g of protein, 6.23 g of total fat, 10.23 g of dietary fibre, 200 kcal of energy, and a well-balanced profile of essential minerals, including 1.2 mg of iron, 550 mg of calcium, and 235 mg of phosphorus. Powerful Bar is meticulously formulated to cater to individuals across all age groups, addressing the growing demand for convenient yet nutritious on-the-go options. The full nutritional potential of these seeds, which are rich in all essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, is utilised.
