Sometimes we need a little extra push on our adventures. We found some products that do just that.
Powerball plus
R21, sarahgraham.co.za
Local celebrity chef Sarah Graham was frustrated with the junk food and processed snacks on offer at stops during road trips, and the dearth of healthy alternatives. So she created the Nourish Power Ball. The 35g gluten- and dairy-free snacks come in two flavours – cacao and cranberry (with a dark-chocolate taste) and coconut bliss (sweet and a little creamy) – and are made from 100% natural ingredients.
A protein punch
R30 – R40, mybodyguru.co.za
My Protein Pantry range of ‘functional foods’ offers more protein and less sugar than ordinary snacks. Made in SA, these products came about because people are wanting healthier treats.
They taste delicious and are an ideal grab-andgo snack for a hike or even at work. There are nine varieties, including chocolate whey-coated pumpkin seeds and espresso beans, chocolate snacking ‘bark’ (chocolate shards) and red-velvet protein balls.
Save the date

These date treats, made from natural ingredients sourced from sustainable farms in Canada, are packed with nutrition. Trail Nuggets bars are also glutenfree, vegan, kosher and non-GMO. Each 60g bar is 210 – 220 calories, and 99% of the sugars come from the dates. The bars have a one-year shelf life and come in three flavours: beet-orange, lemon-almond and peanut-coco.
