Meridian Foods has just launched new Peanut & Pumpkin and Peanut & Coconut nut bars.If you’re looking for some protein, post-run, these provide 6 - 8g per bar and the protein is provided naturally from Meridian's roasted nuts, without the added processed protein found in most other protein bars.
The bars are good for runners as the combination of protein and carbohydrates make them the perfect recovery snack, promoting speedy muscle repair after exercise whilst replenishing muscle fuel for the next workout. The bars are also dairy, soya and gluten free and suitable for Vegans.
Meridian Peanut & Coconut is a subtly sweet tasting nut bar, packed full of flavour and providing an excellent source of natural protein with 61% peanut and coconut in each bar. Peanut & Pumpkin also offers a perfect combination for healthy living, containing 62% peanut and seeds. Both are rich in protein, iron, fibre, magnesium, zinc and healthy fats.
