Nuts & Nut Butters
In addition to their savory, delicious taste, nuts have numerous health benefits.
They’re 'nutrient dense' meaning they’re loaded with fiber, protein, heart-healthy monounsaturated fats as well as essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants like vitamin E, folic acid, magnesium and copper. Regular consumption of nuts can even increase your lifespan!

Protein: Whey and Plant-Based Vegan Choices
Each Zing Bar has at least 10 grams of protein, the equivalent of nearly two ounces of lean turkey or chicken. Protein boosts metabolism, builds muscle, and supplies the nutrients for cell repair and maintenance.
Our vegan bars contain rice and pea protein, which are hypoallergenic and plant-based. In combination with nut butters, the dairy-free Zing Bars deliver a complete protein with the full complement of essential amino acids.

Prebiotic Tapioca Fiber
We call fiber the unsung hero of nutrition because it has so many benefits.
Most of us know that fiber improves digestive health and regularity. But did you know that it also decreases cholesterol, regulates blood sugar, improves immunity and provides a food source for the beneficial bacteria in our gut? It also supports weight loss by making us feel full and reducing the temptation to overeat.
So, in addition to the fiber in the fruit and nuts, we use prebiotic tapioca fiber from the tapioca plant. The prebiotics fibers feed our beneficial intestinal flora, which synthesize vitamins, protect us from germs and improve our immunity.

Dark Chocolate
Like so many foods from bread to yogurt to snacks, chocolate can either be an unhealthy candy or a high-antioxidant health food. We are proud of our chocolate because, in addition to being delicious, it’s non-GMO, high in antioxidants, low in sugar, and free from dairy and soy.
