phyter :: plant based food bar :: extraordinary nutrition for everyday life :: giveaway

Phyter is a weird name, huh? That might not be fair to say weird. It’s just not a name I’ve heard before. It’s short for phytonutrient. I realize it’s summer and we are all out of school, but it’s okay to learn a little something. Here is the definition:

phy·to·nu·tri·ent
[ˌfīdōˈno͞otrēənt]

NOUN
phytonutrients (plural noun)
a substance found in certain plants which is believed to be beneficial to human health and help prevent various diseases.

www.phyterfood.com sent us one of each flavor to sample. These bars are unique in many ways, but the first thing that stood out to me is that they are refrigerated. However, they are okay to eat within 3 days out of the fridge. They will last up to 6 months in the refrigerator. They are quite delicious chilled before you eat them.

• Chef-crafted and cooked in small batches
• Made with fresh vegetables and fruits as the leading ingredient
• Loaded with phytonutrients – hence Phyter

• Sweetened with low-glycemic coconut sugar to reduce blood sugar spikes
• Soft to eat with a unique texture that doesn’t stick to your teeth
• Free of chemicals, preservatives, and added oils or fats
• With no preservatives, the bars are found in the refrigerated area at the grocery store

We’ve been trying to really be conscious of what we are eating this summer. Sure there are still scoops of ice cream here and there, but we like to pack a picnic lunch with some healthy options to fuel our fun. I’ve been so determined not to let the summer treats get the best of me and having Phyter bars on standby have helped a lot.

These flavors are quite unique. Berries and peanut butter is our favorite. It reminded me of a pb&j sandwich in bar form. If you have little ones that are exploring new foods, these bars would be a great way to teach them to like kale or beets for instance. The texture is soft enough that you could break a bar into bite sized pieces for a toddler to enjoy. If you need some chocolate in your life, my next favorite was the beet + cocoa.

These are not protein bars, but they are very gentle on your blood sugar and provide me with a nice bit of energy when I need a snack on the go. There’s no sugar high’s and low’s. It’s been a very pleasant snack to grab for this summer and when school starts I will be sure to add this to the packed lunches.
