Mega-Burn bars
Mega-Burn bars are made here in Queensland from healthy natural ingredients. There's 9 standard and 2 higher protein varieties:
- Strawberry - Euphoria
- Cherry Choc - Wild
- Apricot - Blast
- Apricot Choc - Blitz
- Banana - Kick
- Banana Choc - Velocity
- Spirulina, Barley & Wheat Grass - Vibe (formerly Green Power)
- Peppermint Choc - Chill Out
- Ginger Choc - Freedom
- Breva - high protein
- Zephyr - high protein
Bars come in boxes of 10, and I also offer a Mega-Mixed box with 1 of each flavour.
Megaburn's website is www.megaburn.com.
All the nutritional details and some photos of the bars are further down this page.
Macronutrient ratio
Unfortunately each Mega-Burn bar's ratio of protein to carbohydrate is lower than Dr Sears' ideal 0.75 - each bar contains about 3 blocks of carbohydrate and only 2 blocks of protein (and 2 blocks of fat) (Zone Industries changed the composition of their Mega-Burn bars early in 2004).
Price
Megaburn raised their prices at the beginning of 2008 and I can no longer absorb the increase, as of April 2008 all flavours are now $31 per box, or $28 for 4 - 9, or $25 for 10 or more boxes.
A trial box is available for $35 - 11 bars, 1 of each flavour.
Storage
It is recommended to keep these bars refrigerated. They're kept in a fridge at Get Zoned but they're fine at room temperature for quite a while and will not "go off" in transit (I've eaten bars that have been unrefrigerated for weeks and couldn't tell the difference). They're certainly fine to carry in your handbag or briefcase.
Their shelf life is over six months, or they freeze well.
