Sports Nutrition

Energy:

• Low glycaemic index rolled oats
• Em's Power Cookies & Bars are high energy and sustain blood sugar levels for energy that lasts, no matter your sport
• Sustained energy foods are appropriate for both sports nutrition and snacking needs
• Balanced sports nutrition products with a moderate fat and protein content
• Easy to eat and digest while under exertional stress
• Do not cause stomach problems because of the rolled-oats, easy digestibility and natural ingredients 

Health Conscious and Ethics:

• Sustained energy release
• All Natural Ingredients
• No Preservatives
• Natural sugars
• 1/2 the fat of regular cookies
• Peanut Chocolate Bomb Bar is wheat-free and no added sucrose - sweetened with honey and rice syrup
• No soy proteins or soy fillers ("organic soy" is rarely GE free)
• Produced in a bakery that supports GE Free ingredients

Weight Conscious:

• Weight conscious people or people with Diabetes need to follow a healthy meal plan and exercise daily
• Em's Products are appropriate snacks because of the sustained energy release which prevents binge eating
• Never starve yourself by dipping below 8360 kJ or 1600 kcal/day
• Em's Power Cookies & Bars have about 1200 kJ or 300 kcal each, so they can easily fit into any kJ controlled plan
• For those with Diabetes, we recommend to learn about carbohydrates and set targets each day to help with portion control, consistent eating and blood sugar control
• A Registered Dietitian or Nutritionist can help you with meal planning
• The key for blood sugar and weight control is carb-consistency: our cookies and bars are high in carb (45-50g total carb/cookie or bar) and it is OK to eat that, as long as you account for it in your carb-targets for that meal or snack
• A good way to fit in Em's Power Cookies or Bars is to have half a cookie or bar for AM tea, then the other half for PM

Food Allergies/Intolerances:

• Wheat flour (except our Peanut Choc Bomb is wheat-free. It does contain gluten in the rolled oats)
• Eggs (except Peanut Choc Bomb)
• Dairy (Peanut Choc Bomb has only traces in the real dark chocolate)
• "May contain traces of nuts" because of where they are produced
• Soy Lecithin in the real dark chocolate; this is unavoidable

NB: People who have had intolerances to these items have stated that they have absolutely no problems with our products. This information is strictly anecdotal, that can only be truly tested by your own tolerance (or intolerance) to the product.

Shelf Life of Cookies and Cookie-Bars:

• All of Em's Products have a shelf life of 8 months, or longer if refrigerated or frozen
• Our expiry dates are "best before" which means it is safe to eat once expired, but we cannot guaranatee the quality
