What are Veloforte energy bars?

Veloforte energy bars are wholesome, real-food bars made from fruit, nuts and natural ingredients, designed to deliver lasting energy before and during exercise — and to work as a satisfying everyday snack. Each bar provides up to 36g of natural carbohydrates along with natural protein, with no artificial additives or shortcuts. They sit within our Perform range, made for active people who want real nutrition without the trade-offs.

Are Veloforte energy bars vegan?

Avanti, Di Bosco, Zenzero and Mocha are vegan. Classico and Ciocco are vegetarian, as they contain a little honey. Across the range the bars are gluten-free, dairy-free and GM-free.

Do Veloforte energy bars contain nuts?

Yes. Unlike our energy chews and gels, the bars are made with real fruit and nuts, so they are not nut-free and aren't suitable for anyone with a nut allergy.

Do Veloforte energy bars contain caffeine?

No — all our individual energy bars are caffeine-free, so they're an easy choice at any time of day, including later sessions when you'd rather avoid a stimulant. Mocha contains de-caffeinated coffee for flavour but there is no caffeine in the recipe.

How many carbohydrates are in an energy bar?

Each bar provides up to 36g of natural carbohydrates from real fruit, for steady, longer-lasting energy that suits efforts where you have time to digest. The amount depends on the bar you choose, from 29g in Mocha, our highest-protein bar, up to 36g.

When should I eat an energy bar — before, during or after exercise?

All three work. A bar is ideal before you start and during longer, steadier efforts such as long rides, hikes and base training, and it also makes a satisfying refuel afterwards. For very high-intensity efforts where chewing is harder, a gel or chew may be easier to take on the move.

What's the difference between an energy bar, a gel and a chew?

Energy bars are real-food fuel for before or during steadier efforts and for everyday energy; gels and chews are faster, lighter fuel designed for taking on the move at higher intensity. All are built from real ingredients with no artificial shortcuts — the bar is simply the most substantial, meal-like option.

What sports are Veloforte energy bars good for?

They suit endurance and outdoor activity where you have time to eat — long-distance cycling, running, hiking, swimming, triathlon and gym training — and they also make a wholesome snack on rest days.

Are Veloforte energy bars gluten-free?

Yes. Every flavour is gluten-free, as well as dairy-free and GM-free. They are made with nuts, though, so they aren't suitable for a nut allergy.

Do Veloforte energy bars contain protein?

Yes — they provide natural protein from the nuts and natural ingredients they're made from, alongside their carbohydrates, making them a more balanced, energy-sustaining option than fast carbohydrate fuels. Mocha contains the most protein of all of the energy bars, with 8.1g of protein and a 4:1 ratio of carbs to protein. If you are looking for a higher protein option, our Protein Crunch Bars contain 20g protein per bar.

Which Veloforte energy bar is best after exercise?

Mocha is our recovery-friendly bar: 8.1g of plant protein with 29g of carbohydrate, a 4:1 ratio of carbs to protein, made with hazelnuts, cocoa and decaffeinated coffee. All of our energy bars give steady energy, so any of them works before or during exercise.

Are Veloforte energy bars real food?

Yes. They're made from whole, recognisable ingredients — fruit, nuts and natural flavours — with no gums, artificial additives or shortcuts. Real nutrition you can see and taste, built for performance and everyday energy alike.

Built differently. Performs differently.

Most energy bars are built to hit a number on a label, grams of protein, grams of sugar, a claim on the front of the wrapper. Veloforte bars were built as recipes.

That means every decision, from the fruit and nuts we start with to the texture, the flavour and the things we deliberately leave out, has one purpose: fuel that performs & appeals, hours into an effort.

The result is a bar made entirely from real food, with nothing artificial, nothing unnecessary and nothing to get between your body and its best.

Taste great, easy to chew and give me a steady slow release of glucose munching now and then as I go.

Carbs per Bar	Up to 36g of natural carbohydrate from whole dates, fruit and nuts: slower-releasing fuel for efforts measured in hours. Mocha has 29g, with more protein for recovery.
Carbs per Hour	One bar covers a steady hour. Pair with a gel or chews to reach the 60 to 90g per hour that longer, harder efforts call for.
When To Take	1 to 2 hours before you start, then every 30 to 60 minutes through a long steady effort. Take it on a climb, a flat or a natural lull, as chewing takes time.
Best For	Long rides and gravel days, sportives, marathon build-up, hiking and mountain days, back-to-back training blocks, and the hours between sessions.
Protein	Up to 4.5g of plant protein from toasted nuts in most bars. Mocha has 8.1g in a 4:1 ratio of carbs to protein: our recovery-friendly bar, best after exercise and fine during it too.
Texture & Chew	A soft, real-food chew. Best at moderate effort where you can eat comfortably. For race pace or high intensity, reach for a gel or chews instead.
Suitable For	Cycling, running, hiking, trail and mountain sports, gym and strength blocks, and everyday active fuelling. Every bar is gluten free and caffeine free. Avanti, Di Bosco, Zenzero and Mocha are vegan; Ciocco and Classico contain honey.
Train Your Gut	Whole-food ingredients support comfortable, repeatable fuelling as long-day volume builds.
Fuelling Strategy	Bars carry the long steady hours. Gels carry race pace. Chews bridge the two. Rotate flavours across the range to keep fuel appealing deep into an effort.
