GFB’s are great for anyone on a gluten-free diet or anyone that likes healthy on-the-go nutrition. GFB’s are made for taste and performance - developed by a dessert chef, approved by dietitians, and tested by athletes. 2. Are GFB’s good for all ages? Yes, GFB’s combine complex carbohydrates, high quality protein, and a good source of omega-3 fats from flax seeds. Formulated with the gluten-free consumer on-the-go in mind, GFB’s contain less than 250 calories per serving, which is a perfect smaller meal or snack to get you through the day. Because GFB is made from all natural ingredients, such as organic peanuts, dates, and flax seeds, parents need not worry their children are getting anything but the best ingredients. No refined sugar or trans fats, just balanced nutrition. 3. When should I eat GFB’s? GFB’s can be a great on-the-go breakfast, mid morning or mid-afternoon snack or anytime you need a pick me up. Because the GFB has a good balance of complex carbohydrates and protein, it will keep you feeling satisfied at work, sports practice, a workout, or even a night out. 4. Are GFB’s a good pre-workout or post-workout snack? Absolutely – the complex carbohydrates and protein will power you through a workout without weighing you down, and with a carbohydrate to protein ratio of 2 to 1, GFB’s also make a great after workout refueling snack. 5. How do you ensure that GFB’s are gluten-free? GFB’s are made of only gluten-free ingredients and are manufactured in a dedicated gluten-free facility; no gluten containing ingredients are allowed on-site. 6. What ingredients are in a GFB? GFB’s are made of only natural and wholesome ingredients – absolutely no preservatives or fillers are ever added. The full list of ingredients and nutrition information are listed here.
GFB's are handmade in small batches to ensure the best taste, texture and maximum freshness – they are made from wholesome ingredients so that you will feel good eating them. There are no shortcuts or cheating with the GFB and our goal is simple – be the best tasting gluten-free nutrition bar on the market. 8. What is the shelf life of GFB’s? For best taste, GFB’s should be consumed within 4 months after purchasing. Shelf life is 6 months when stored at 40 degrees Fahrenheit. If you plan to take a long time to eat your GFB’s , you should keep them in the refrigerator or freezer – in fact, many GFB fans like them even better out of the fridge. 9. I noticed there are 10 grams of fat in a GFB - that seems high - is it? Well sort of - the GFB is high in good fats - heart healthy monounsaturated fats that come from natural sources - peanuts. These fats are not only good for you but they keep you full and satisfied longer. Further, GFB only contains 1.5 g saturated fats and zero trans fats – and trans fats are the fats that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and affect blood cholesterol levels. We could reduce the fat to less than 10 grams by using highly processed reduced-fat peanut butters but that would go against our goal of providing real and simple nutrition. 10. What is the source of the sugars in the GFB? The sugars come from Brown Rice Syrup and Agave Nectar – both of which are low-glycemic ingredients. 11. What does Low-Glycemic mean? The Glycemic Index (GI) is a ranking of carbohydrates according to how they raise blood sugar levels after consumption. High-glycemic foods are rapidly digested and absorbed. Low-glycemic foods digest and absorb slower, thus producing gradual rises in blood sugar and insulin levels, which is optimal for those with diabetes. Low GI diets have been shown to help those looking for weight control because help control appetite and delay hunger. 12. Are GFB’s good for those with Diabetes? In addition to being low-glycemic, GFB’s contain less sugar than most other comparable snack bars (both gluten-free and non-gluten-free). Containing 27 to 28 g of carbohydrate per serving, GFBs can be considered 2 starch exchanges. GFBs also contain fiber, which helps regulate blood sugar levels through slower digestion. |
