Obstacle Mud Runner - issue 15

22 New nutrition brand Tribal Sports Nutrition has launched two vegan and organic energy smoothies FUEL: NUTRITION The baobab fruit extract, used in everyday nutrition and medicinal culture in parts of Africa, ensures the smoothies contain more than just natural carbs and sugars (which come in the form of fruit purees and rice syrup). They’re also packed with important nutrients to help boost performance, including 36% of the NRV of vitamin C, which has been shown to help beat fatigue. Due to their unique format, the smoothies are also less concentrated than more conventional energy products and are thus easier on the stomach. The smoothies aren’t just good for your running performance, but also the planet, and sustainability is at the heart of Tribal’s ethos. The baobab used is wild harvested by cooperatives in Africa, bringing income to people and helping to preserve local ecology. The smoothies are certified organic and, as a company, Tribal are helping to lead the drive towards fully recyclable pouches, with a prototype pouch made from polypropylene expected to launch in 2021. Current packaging is made from Forest Stewardship Council materials. Importantly the smoothies also taste great, with nine out of ten tasters, in a blind trial preferring their flavour to their regular nutrition products. The result is tasty energy smoothies, which offer organic, vegan nutrition in convenient on-the- go pouches. A real-food choice, for those living active lifestyles, that’s easy on the stomach and an alternative to products which are often made with processed ingredients such as maltodextrine. The smoothies not only deliver on the nutrition front, but do so in a way that doesn’t leave you, or the world around you, feeling compromised afterwards. Tribal Sports Nutrition Energy Smoothies are available in several varieties, including Morella Cherry & Baobab and Pineapple & Baobab, from Sainsbury’s, health stores, Amazon and www.tribalsportsnutrition.com , where you can also find more information. The smoothies, which come in on-the-go pouches that easily fit into a pocket, utilise the energising and revitalising properties of baobab fruit to create a natural and effective fuel. @naturaltribalsportsnutrition @tribalsportsnut @tribalsportsnutrition
