A 70g oat bar with 40g of carbohydrate and 10g of protein, built to be eaten on the bike. The oats release their energy steadily rather than all at once, so it settles better on a long ride than something sugary, and the protein helps with the repair side once you've finished.
Bar or gel?
On a long ride, real food first. A bar like this works best in the opening couple of hours, when your stomach is still happy to chew and you want something substantial. As the effort goes on and chewing becomes a chore, switch to gels for fast carbohydrate without the work. A rough plan for a four-hour ride: a bar at the hour mark, another at two, then gels from there. Rego afterwards for recovery.

Which flavour?
Blueberry is the lighter of the two and easier to face repeatedly on a long day. White Chocolate Macadamia is richer and sweeter, which some riders prefer late on when appetite has faded. Each box contains twelve bars of a single flavour, so if you're not sure, blueberry is the safer first choice.
Informed Sport tested
Every batch is screened for banned substances under the Informed Sport programme, so these are safe to use if you're subject to testing.
Beyond the bike
They work as an everyday snack too, particularly if you're trying to hit a high daily carbohydrate target during a heavy training block, or you just want something in a jersey pocket or a desk drawer that isn't a chocolate bar.
