Energy Bars

What are Energy Bars?

Energy bars are packed with carbohydrates which are the body’s main source of energy. They’re perfect to satisfy your cravings while supporting your muscles after through an intense training schedule, as carbohydrates help with muscle recovery.1

They’re a convenient way to make sure you’re topped up throughout the day, and can be enjoyed at home, work or on the go.

The Best Energy Bar

We offer a range of great tasting energy bars for you to choose from, including the classic Protein Flapjack which is a soft and sweet snack, packed with protein and carbs. They deliver 20g of protein per bar, along with 32g of carbs, making them a great addition to a balanced diet. Plus, they’re suitable for vegetarians.

Alternatively, we have our Oats & Whey Protein Bars which really pack a punch with 22g of protein and an impressive 38g of carbs — ideal for muscle recovery after training.1 They’re deliciously chewy, contain a blend of whey protein concentrate and milk protein, and come in amazing flavours such as Chocolate Peanut and Salted Caramel.

1. Carbohydrates contribute to the recovery of normal muscle function (contraction) after highly intensive and/or long-lasting physical exercise leading to muscle fatigue and the depletion of glycogen stores in skeletal muscle. This beneficial effect is obtained with the consumption of carbohydrates, from all sources, at a total intake of 4g per kg body weight, at doses, within the first 4 hours, and no later than 6 hours, following highly intensive and/or long-lasting physical exercise leading to muscle fatigue and the depletion of glycogen stores in skeletal muscle.
