Do the little adventurers who go skiing care about nutrition?

Image for The nutrition of little adventurers in ski: does that speak to you?

Are there healthy snack alternatives to the «industrial four hours» at this crucial moment of the day when your child is filling up with energy to have fun in the mountains, play outside, or go to his or her training; but also at this crucial moment in his or her life when he or she is forging a strong health and good habits! Childhood is an absolutely crucial period in the construction of a human being.

A pleasure, a danger

It is at this precise age that good and bad habits take deep root. It is during this chapter of innocence and discovery that the passion for the great outdoors is born and the foundations of robust health are established. During these crucial years, young athletes learn to love playing outside and to do good by eating a healthy diet. A first certainty, coupled with a second: the conviction that the child cannot develop a sensitivity on their own. He needs someone to guide him in the education of his tastes and palate. A mission that falls to both parents and manufacturers.

A shocking figure that alerts us to the eating habits of our young athletes. This figure is the one that initiated the creation process. Baouw KIDS bars.

 

Founded in 2017 on the banks of Lake Annecy, Baouw is a sports nutrition brand offering energy bars, purees and organic dried fruits. Baouw is the result of a meeting between a nutritionist, a Michelin-starred chef, and an agrifood specialist (Benoît Nave, Yoann Conte and Gilles Galoux), and the quality of its products. 

The Baouw KIDS have been designed by children for children. They are 3 fruit recipes specially created and designed to meet all their energy needs while using only natural ingredients: fruit, dried fruit, nuts and extra virgin olive oil.

For children aged 3 and up, Baouw KIDS are delicious and practical thanks to their soft texture and no pieces. They are free of cereals, gluten and dairy, making them very easy to digest. They offer a healthy and natural alternative to classic biscuits, chocolate bars and other cereal bars, to replace the habit of the overly industrial (and very sugary) «four-hour» snack and to take care of the health of our little athletes. Moreover, it is also a simple and delicious way to get them to love fruits.

« The goal of our Kids bars is to offer a healthy and practical alternative – that doesn’t crumble at the bottom of the backpack and doesn’t rot in the sports bag – to chocolate bars, biscuits and cereal bars. »This describes Gilles Galoux, one of the three founding members of Baouw," said Gilles Galoux.

Children as well as adults, everyone has their own Baouw!
