Nutrition for little adventurers on the slopes: does that ring a bell?

Are there healthy alternatives to processed afternoon snacks at this crucial moment of the day, when your child refuels to have fun in the mountains, play outside or go to training, and at this crucial stage of life, when they are building good health and good habits? Childhood is an absolutely pivotal period in a person's development.

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 highlights the eating habits of our young athletes. This figure is what prompted the creation of the 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 – one that doesn't get squashed at the bottom of the school bag or crumble in the sports bag – to chocolate bars, biscuits and cereal bars. » explains Gilles Galoux, one of the three co-founders of Baouw.

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