Description

NUTELLA B-READY WAFER BAR

PRIMARY USES

1. Convenient, Portion-Controlled Snack for On-the-Go Energy Support
Primary Use: A pre-portioned, individually wrapped snack bar consisting of a crunchy wafer shell filled with creamy Nutella hazelnut spread and puffed wheat crispies. Each 22g bar provides 110-115 kcal, making it a controlled, convenient option for patients requiring quick, palatable energy supplementation. The bar format provides a ready-to-eat, mess-free alternative to jarred spreads, suitable for times when appetite is poor or during treatment.
How it helps: For the dietitian and clinician, the combination of simple and complex carbohydrates from the wafer and sugar (10.4g per bar) provides a rapid energy source, while the fats from hazelnuts and palm oil (5.9g per bar) contribute to satiety and energy density. The familiar, comforting taste of Nutella can help stimulate appetite in patients experiencing taste alterations. For the patient, this offers a familiar, accessible treat that can help boost caloric intake.
2. Sensory Stimulation and Mood Enhancement
Primary Use: The multi-textural combination of a crispy wafer shell, creamy Nutella filling, and crunchy puffed wheat crispies creates a satisfying sensory experience.
How it helps: For the oncology dietitian and palliative care nurse, patients often respond positively to familiar, comforting tastes and interesting textures. The distinct crunch and creamy filling can appeal to altered taste perceptions and make eating more enjoyable. The individually wrapped format also adds a sense of normalcy and independence for patients .

SECONDARY USES

1. Non-medical comfort for needle phobia or distressing procedures: Offering a Nutella B-Ready bar as a reward or distraction during venepuncture or vaccinations can reduce anxiety, with the familiar, comforting taste providing a pleasant sensory focus.
2. Reward to improve adherence to oral nutritional supplements (ONS): For patients who refuse prescribed supplements, offering a small, familiar treat as a reward can serve as positive reinforcement, improving acceptance and adherence.
3. Portable, shelf-stable snack for healthcare staff and carers: The individually wrapped, long shelf life (approx. 8 months) and room-temperature storage make these bars practical for inclusion in staff break rooms, nursing stations, or carers’ bags for quick energy during long shifts .
