Is this bar a good snack instead of an ordinary sweet treat? — Peanut and Pistachio Crispy Dough Bar 50 g - Snaq Fabriq

SNAQ FABRIQ Glazed bar Peanut with pistachio and crispy dough is usually chosen as a quick snack between meals, after training, on the road, at school or in the office. In feel it is closer to a dessert: there is a glaze, peanuts, pistachio cream and crispy kataifi dough. So it can be a good option when you want something sweet and nutty but are trying to cut back on added sugar in your diet.

On the practical side, the bar contains protein and dietary fibre. The protein makes the snack more filling, and the fibre helps you feel full for longer compared with a very light sweet. That said, the bar should not be seen as a proper substitute for lunch or dinner: in an everyday diet it fits better as a backup snack or a dessert alternative.

If you use it after training, go by your overall diet for the day: the bar can satisfy a craving for something sweet and add some protein, but it does not replace water, a proper meal or varied sources of nutrients. If you have chronic conditions, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or take medication, it is better to discuss such products with a specialist.
