INGREDIENTS

Because Thunderbird cares about your body, we use whole ingredients to maximize the health benefits of consuming our bars!  See for yourself:

Dates - Frequently lauded for their natural sweetness, dates are easily digested making them a quick source of fuel and repairer of waste product.  The dense health benefits of dates are due to their high fiber content, vitamin A and B complexes, and their abundance of potassium. Although necessary in all diets, potassium is especially important for athletes because it helps to maintain muscle contractions.

Walnuts  – Walnuts are a great source of plant-based protein laced with omega 3 fatty acids.  In addition to the vitamins B and E, walnuts are an excellent source of magnesium and antioxidants.

Hemp seeds - Hemp seeds are unique in that they are a complete source of protein, containing all 9 essential amino acids and essential fatty acids.  Additionally, hemp seeds have the optimal ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids, 3:1.

Cacao/cacao nibs - Cacao is rich in antioxidant flavonoids (has 4x that of green tea), which aids in repairing cellular damage. One of the worlds oldest food sources, cacao has been shown to enhance cognitive functioning and improve mood.

Coconut Shreds - Coconut shreds are a sufficient source of fiber, essential fatty acids, antioxidants, folic acid, and vitamin B.

Chia seeds - Another timely food, chia seeds have been utilized in ancient cultures for over 10,000 years.  Ideal for sustained energy and hydration, chia seeds are highly hydrophilic (they can absorb 12x their weight in water), thus efficiently utilizing body fluids and maintaining electrolyte homeostasis.  Chia seeds are also an amazing antioxidant source and help to detox the body of toxins.

Mint - Mint has long been utilized in medicinal remedies to ease stomach aches, aid in digestion, and for its antifungal properties.

Himalayan Salt - Commonly referred to as "White Gold" in the Himalayans, this million-year-old salt is the purest form of salt in that it has been untouched by environmental toxins commonly found in common sea salts.  Himalayan salt contains the same 84 natural minerals and elements found within the human body and help to reduce muscle cramps, control water levels within the body, increase bone strength, and promote pH balance.
