Add a Little Gluten Free Zing To Your Tennis Game

Have you been feeling a little sluggish on the tennis courts lately? Several Seattle nutritionists think they've come up with a nutrition bar that is deliciously different and GLUTEN FREE — the Zing Nutrition Bar. Not only does it taste good but it is guaranteed to add some energy and vitality to your game.

The group of practicing nutritionists wanted to find a good nutrition bar they could recommend to their patients. What they found with traditional nutrition and sports bars was that if a particular bar was nutritionally balanced, it left something to be desired in the taste department. On the other hand, if it tasted good, it was low in protein and fiber, or full of artificial ingredients, unhealthy fats and empty calories.

After failing to identify one product that was the perfect fit, the group decided to come up with their own — a bar that not only satisfies the taste buds but one that provides the exact nutrients they were looking for. Each Zing bar features a balance of high quality protein, fiber-rich carbs and healthy fats…all in an ideal ratio for sustained energy. Nutrition savvy individuals will be happy to know that there is no soy protein in any of the bars. Two are gluten-free and all three are wheat-free. There are no artificial sweeteners and no corn syrup derivatives. Another one of the big pluses of these all-natural energy bars is the protein content. Spend a few minutes in the energy bar aisle and you discover many bars don't have much protein, which flies in the face of nutritionists who typically recommend including protein in midmorning or midafternoon snacks for brainpower.

Our favorites are the Chocolate Peanut Butter and Oatmeal Chocolate Chip.

Don't delay — add a little Zing to your game.
