One of the main benefits of plant based protein is the nutritional benefits and it's qualities. For example, it has been discovered that protein from a plant source has a lot less calories, as well as having less fat than animal based protein. Furthermore, there is more fibre and essential nutrients in plant based protein. This is just one of the reasons why we at Hale Snacks ensure all of our products vegan friendly!

In addition to this, plant based protein has been proven to have a significant effect on weight loss. Numerous studies have shown that people following a vegan protein diet generally have a lower BMI than people consuming meat protein. Moreover, levels of fibre were higher in such individuals, which therefore leads to weight loss, as studies show that individuals with higher levels of fibre, tend to have a lower body weight and fat levels. 

Another benefit of plant protein is that it is a lot easier for your body to break down. This results in the protein being broken down quicker, therefore this energy can be used for more efficient cell growth and muscle repair! This can help with muscle growth, as the quicker your muscles repair after a hard workout, the more intense you can begin to make your sessions!

Finally, one of the most interesting and significant benefits of veganism is the effect it has on chronic diseases. Studies have shown that individuals following a vegan diet have a lower risk of developing chronic diseases, i.e. cancer. One study in particular emphasises this. The study had two different groups of people follow two different diets, one getting their protein from solely vegan sources, and one meat. Blood from both were taken, after substantial time had passed, and was dripped onto human cancer cells. The researchers found that the blood from the participants following the vegan diet was shown to suppress the growth of 3 different types of breast cancer!

These were just a few examples portraying the benefits of plant based protein, and we hope this has enlightened you to take some more interest in this topic. We at Hale thoroughly believe that the many benefits of plant protein will have a long lasting effect on all of our subscribers' lives. 

Hale Snacks, Smarter Snacking!

So, we are really excited to announce that in our February 2021 Hale Snacks monthly healthy snack box we are bringing our subscribers something different!  

We introduce to you the Vite Brain Bar, a dark chocolate and nut flavoured bar loaded with nootropic nutrients.

Like with all the snacks we feature, to be good enough to make it into a Hale Snacks monthly subscription box, the Vite Brain Bar is plant-based, tastes great and provides a source of protein. 

Vite Brain Bars - Key Facts

• Provides essential nutrients for a well-performing brain.

• Plant-Based & Sustainably sourced ingredients.

• Vegan, Gluten-Free & Natural.

• Fully recyclable packaging.

What is different about the Vite brain bar? 

It’s the nootropic element and ingredients that make these snacks quite unique from the other bars and snacks you will come across today. Nootropic ingredients have been found in nature and used in ancient medicine for millennia. They can improve your cognitive functions such as memory, creativity and speed. They also help with mental performance and help you feel sharp, think faster and focus for longer, which I’m sure you can agree are functions that we could all do with a little fine-tuning, especially at these testing times. 

The short-term benefits of nootropics include energy, processing speed, motivation and ability to perform under pressure, while long-term benefits include improvements in memory retention, word recall, and the prevention of age-related cognitive decline. Well, that was a mouth full, and all that in 1 bar! Count me in.

When is the best time to eat your Vite Brain Bar? 

The balanced stimulant profile in Vite Bars lends itself to be best consumed in the morning. 

What about the all-important taste? 

This bar is superb. The crisp dark chocolate coating encloses a tasty filling of nuts and seeds with a sweet chocolate flavour kick. You will not be disappointed. 

So with all the stated brain benefits how did I feel after devouring the Vite Brain Bar? 

To be completely honest, I definitely felt the benefits. Taking into account I only had 6 hours of sleep last night, I blame Nexflix, after eating the Vite Brain Bar I definitely felt more alert, not in a caffeine kick sort of way, but more focused with less brain fog and a readiness to fly through today’s tasks.

For those lucky subscribers receiving their February 21 Hale Snacks box, we really hope you enjoy your Vite Brain Bar. If you have not subscribed yet, don’t worry we will be featuring this bar again and the other snacks available from this amazing company Vite Naturals. Don’t miss out, why not get started with a Hale Snacks subscription today.

We at Hale are very enthusiastic about dietary health and fitness, with protein being a very significant part. It can be difficult to get enough good protein from our meals, however, we really struggled with having a reliable source of protein snacks, without having to surf countless shops to find the perfect snack for us!

Back in the summer of 2019 our founder was getting ready to pop out to run a number of errands and felt a little peckish just before he left. So he searched the kitchen for some sort of healthy snack that would keep him going until he got back home to have dinner. Could he find anything….no. All he had was a chocolate bar or greasy packet of crisps which he knew would not really get him through his afternoon, if only he had some healthy on the go snacks ready in his kitchen drawer? This was the seed that developed into the idea of Hale Snacks.

We wanted to create a box with the best, tastiest protein snacks on the market, and have them available at all times. Furthemore, by offering the box as a monthly subscription service, customers would never need to worry about this again. This is the root of Hale Snacks. The issue of not having a healthy snack to hand or having surfing shops and trying different brands to find your favourite would no longer be a problem, so this is what we did!

Furthermore, we decided to ensure all of our products would be Vegan friendly. We truly believe that having plant based protein as your main source of protein, has many benefits that will have a positive impact throughout your diet and overall lifestyle. We want our snackbox to be suitable for anyone, no matter the diet or lifestyle they live.

You now know the reason why we started  Hale Snacks, however, why the name “Hale”? Well, the definition of “Hale” is: “The retainment of exceptional health”. This is what we are hoping to achieve. Via our Snack-boxes, each subscriber would have a range of nutritional snacks to choose from at all times, therefore, helping them to maintain a high standard and quality of health.
