I suppose you could say sport and indeed golf were in my genes, as from a young age I knew I would follow this career path.

My dad Philip Caira, competed in 5 consecutive Commonwealth Games, bringing home two gold medals for his expert weight lifting. He taught me the importance of proper nutrition for peak performance. He ran a café/corner shop, like many Italians did, and I was fascinated at how disciplined he was, doing his strength training in the back shop at every opportunity, all whilst selling the Daily Mail! When he retired from this he took up golf, encouraging me to do likewise. I got the ultimate bug and as they say the rest is history. Many of my formative years were spent in St Andrews, (golfing central) where my mother, the daughter of Italian ice cream selling immigrants was born.

If you wind the clock back a couple of years, as a P.G.A Golf Professional (with a full head of hair) I was snacking on little bags of fruit and nuts around the golf course, that I grabbed as I left for a tournament, hoping that this would keep my energy levels up and my scoring low. Effective, but not the most convenient way to keep driving around the course in true championship style. You see what a lot of people don’t realise is that an 18-hole round of golf burns off a jaw dropping 2000-2500 calories. That’s serious energy burning. If we don’t have the right fuel, we won’t have that scorecard we all want. This got me thinking about developing something that was nutritious and delicious, but not a quick fix chocolate bar, to help improve golf performance.

I had that “light bulb” moment and rarely afraid of a challenge, I got the kitchen gadgetry out and set to work. Blending, binding and shaping, our kitchen at times seemed like a test laboratory, and I am sure my hair (what’s left of it) stood on end often. The journey has been at worst painstakingly difficult but at best innovating and uplifting. After many late nights Niblick69 golf energy snack was created, the RESULT, an edible golf-ball shaped snack, nutritious, packed full of fruit, oats and nuts, and the PURPOSE, to sustain you and keep you in tip-top condition (and to impress your friends with your stamina, golf performance and concentration too of course!). There are 4 flavours to choose from, each with it’s own unique ingredients and health boosting benefits. At Niblick69 headquarters we can’t yet decide on our favourite, we’ll let you do that.

What’s so fantastic about a Niblick69?
Packed full of natural goodness, the Niblick69 energy snack is different from other golf nutritional snacks on the market, as we don’t use any additives or preservatives. Low in saturated fats, our no nonsense approach ensures that you experience a snack packed full of fruit, oats and nuts, high in protein and fibre, providing long lasting energy on or off the golf course.

How many Niblick69s should I eat during a round of golf?
We underestimate just how much energy we use during 18 holes of golf. Whilst each individual’s dietary requirements are different, we consider at least two Niblick69s should keep your energy levels where they should be and prevent that wellknown slump around the 12th.

How many calories are used in a round of golf?
We use between 2000-2500 calories playing a round of golf, that’s a lot! That’s why it is so vital to keep healthy snacks and hydration in your bag.

Researching our product.
The extremely intelligent folks at the Rowatt Institute of Nutrition and Health at Aberdeen University, have helped us with the analysis of just how much goodness and nutrition is in a Niblick69 golf energy snack. That’s why you will see the nutritional values on all our products.

We have also worked closely with Professor Kofi Aidoo of Glasgow Caledonian University, who has given us the perfect advice on shelf life and ensuring our product is in tip top shape when you buy it.

We are also enormously grateful to Queen Margaret University’s Food and Innovation Services Department.

What’s in a Niblick69 Golf Energy Snack?
We currently offer four different flavours of this nutritional edible golf shaped snack. Berry & Pistachio, Fig & Walnut, Cranberry & Almond and Cherry & Brazil, each made simply with oats, nuts, seeds and fruit, a dash of Agave Nectar, a pinch of Himalayan salt and finished off with a coating of cocoa powder. That’s it, nothing else!

What are the benefits of Agave Nectar?
With it’s low natural GI, Agave Nectar helps keep your blood sugar levels balanced, so you have less buzzes and slumps. It does this because it has a 76% fructose level. Fructose is a slow release carbohydrate, which means the body absorbs it more slowly and doesn’t need endless amounts of insulin (the chemical that triggers sugary “highs” and “lows”) to break it down.

Why add Himalayan Pink Crystal Salt?
Our bodies need salt, as it keeps your body fluids at the right concentration. and for those of us whom play lots of sport we need a little more. We chose to add a pinch of Himalayan salt to Niblick69 as this unique product contains the full spectrum of 84 minerals and trace elements, just like Mother Nature intended for us. There are many benefits associated with Himalayan Salt, including the regulation of water content throughout your body and the prevention of muscle cramps.

Why sunflower seeds?
These little seeds, have a very high polyunsaturated oil content, taking care of your hunger, whilst also enhancing your health by supplying lots of vitamin E, magnesium and selenium.

What nuts do we use and why?
We use nuts in all of our flavours, but the type of nuts used varies. When developing the unique flavours for Niblick69 golf energy snack, we tried to pick those nuts that provide the very best nutritional values, and that compliment their fruit partners.

Almonds – The health benefits from almonds are endless. They provide double-barreled protection against diabetes and cardiovascular disease. A rich source of Vitamin E, by munching these you can top up on all the important minerals.

Pistachios – These nuts are bursting with antioxidants that protect cells from damage. Helping to control your body weight and lowering your risk of heart problems.

Walnuts – Eating a handful of these could provide protection from heart disease, cut your risk of diabetes, ease stress and protect against cancer.

Brazils – Rich in mono-unsaturated fats and selenium, both of which prevent coronary artery disease, these protein and fibre rich nuts are vitality boosting.

Cashews – Packed with antioxidants, minerals and vitamins, that are essential for maintaining a healthy diet, these sometimes under rated little gems are good for the heart too. Their high magnesium content protect against fatigue and tension.

Is Niblick69 suitable for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, packed full of fruit, oats and nuts, with a dash of agave nectar, there is nothing within a Niblick69 that isn’t  suitable.

Are your products gluten free?
No, our products contain oats and whilst oats do not contain gluten (they contain avenin which is a protein similar to gluten) the oats we use are produced in the same place as wheat and barley, therefore at the moment we cannot offer gluten free.

However, we can make gluten free Niblick 69 batches made to order, please contact us for details.
