A Great Snack During Pregnancy
 
Simply Choices are great low fat, easily digested snacsk that provides protein and iron during pregnancy. Here's how:

Nausea is a normal and common side-effect of pregnancy. "To help relieve this first trimester pregnancy symptom, eat small, frequent meals throughout the day. Choose foods that are low in fat and easy-to-digest." – Mayo Clinic.

Easily digested. Some pregnant women suffer from acid reflux later in their pregnancy as the baby gets bigger and takes up more space, affecting digestion. Simply Choices are easily digested snacsk.

Protein needs to be increased during pregnancy in order to develop new cells and support each stage of the baby’s growth. Gestational diabetes can also develop during pregnancy. Eating low glycemic foods will help prevent blood sugar spikes.

Iron. The requirement for iron during pregnancy is twice the amount prior to pregnancy. Try Simply Protein Chips and the Simply Bar.

Satisfies
The Simply Bar fills you up with protein, not fat and calories. It is an all natural iron-rich and tasty travel snack.
Protein that satisfies and keeps you full: Most other low calorie snacks contain sugar and carbohydrates without the protein or fiber needed to fill you up. When you consume empty, sugar-laden calories, you are hungry again in no time. The Simply Bar satisfies with 16 grams of soy protein- a complete protein containing all 8 essential amino acids. The protein fills you up, and keeps you full. For longer.
Helps you to eat well: Extreme hunger can cause people to eat poorly. A sense of fullness will break the deprivation sensation that topples so many well-meaning diets. Keeping a imply Chioce in your bag or desk will ensure that you have a satisfying snack available at all times.
Won’t ruin your dinner: Many people find it easy to eat well in the morning but sitting at their desks mid afternoon, they feel tired and hungry. The temptation is to grab a large calorie-laden “snack” (think donuts, cookies). The issue is that this “snack” ruins your dinner. Simply Choices will fill you up and still leave you with room for dinner.
Travel snack: It is hard to find a convenient source of protein that stays fresh, is safe to eat at all temperatures and is healthy. Our snacks don’t freeze in winter or melt in summer like chocolate covered bars. It is a perfect on-the-go snack as it is packed with protein: you fill up on protein, not on fat and sugar.
 
Quality ingredients
We care about the ingredients we use. When creating Simply Choices, one of our driving principles was simplicity – simple ingredients that are tasty, vegetarian and easy-to-digest.
12 ingredients or less:
And you can pronounce them all! Many protein bars have 30 or more ingredients. Most of which you have never even heard of!
Quality ingredients: We use organic ingredients where possible because we care about how and where our food is grown! Some of the ingredients we use include organic sweeteners (brown rice syrup), organic cocoa and organic coffee. We pay a premium to ensure that the soy protein we use is not genetically modified; currently less than 10% of the soy in North America is non-GMO!
Vegetarian: You can rest assured that Simply Choices arecruelty-free and guaranteed to be free of the antibiotics and hormones sometimes found in animal-based proteins.
Easy-to-digest: The Simply Bar was designed with a gastroenterologist so that even people with compromised digestion (like those with Crohn’s and colitis) can easily digest them.
Iron rich: The Simply Bar and Simply Protein Chips provides 20% of the daily recommended amount of iron. Eat it with a Vitamin C rich fruit or vegetable to further improve iron absorption.
Tasty: Simply Choices have natural flavours from wholesome ingredients including real peanuts, raspberries, organic cocoa and coconut.
