Definitely! UCAN bars are a great snack between meals to help curb cravings and avoid a crash. Our UCAN Energy Powders can be added to your protein shake or smoothie for a sustained energy boost. Adding UCAN to your shake will help it last longer by giving you a slow-release of complex carbs. Mix UCAN with protein, healthy fats like nut butter, vegetables and fruits for a healthy meal replacement shake for steady, long-lasting energy with added nutrients.

One of the most unique characteristics of the SuperStarch™ carbohydrate in UCAN products is its low-insulin response, which is also the reason it helps support fat burning. When blood sugar is elevated after you eat a sugary food, insulin is released from the pancreas as a response. Insulin’s job, in this case, is to get the blood sugar back down to an acceptable level. When insulin is elevated, it temporarily blocks fat burn while it regulates the rise in blood sugar. In other words, a rise in insulin means a decrease in your ability to burn fat for fuel! SuperStarch™ exerts such a low impact on blood sugar that the insulin response, in turn, is also very low. This means that SuperStarch™ is a carbohydrate (energy source) that does not inhibit your ability to burn fat for fuel compared to other carbs.
