After intense exercise, have a bar within 30 minutes to support muscle recovery and replenish energy.

They come from the fruit and dates in each recipe, plus cane sugar and syrups, with a little honey in Classico and Ciocco.

What Should I Use Energy Bars For? +
Our energy bars are great for topping up your energy before a workout, fueling long sessions during exercise, and aiding recovery afterwards. They provide a mix of carbohydrates and protein to sustain performance and support muscle repair. Use them to help maintain steady energy levels and promote healthy muscle function.

Which Energy Bars Are Vegan? +
Avanti, Di Bosco, Zenzero and Mocha use only plant-based ingredients, so they are vegan. Classico and Ciocco contain a little honey, so they are vegetarian rather than vegan.

We balance carbohydrate and protein so the bars can support sustained energy during exercise and your recovery afterwards.

Whilst they are designed to support your endurance and energy needs during exercise, our natural energy bars and High Protein Crunch Bars can be enjoyed any time of day, as part of a healthy balanced diet.
  • Natural Energy Bars UK: Made From Real Food

    Veloforte energy bars are hand-baked natural energy bars made from dates, nuts and fruit, with nothing artificial. Each 55g bar gives you up to 36g of carbohydrate, up to 8.1g of protein and up to 4.4g of fibre, in six flavours: Avanti, Classico, Ciocco, Di Bosco, Zenzero and Mocha. They are Great Taste Award winners, all gluten free, and soft enough to eat on the move.

    What Is In A Veloforte Energy Bar?

    Every recipe starts with whole food: dates, almonds, pecans, pistachios, hazelnuts, dried fruit, cocoa and spices, sweetened with cane sugar and syrups, with a little honey in Classico and Ciocco. There are no artificial colours, flavours, sweeteners or preservatives, and every ingredient is listed on each bar's own page. The bars keep for 12 months stored somewhere cool and dry.

    How Many Carbs, Protein, Sugar And Calories Are In Each Bar?

    Per 55g bar:

    • Avanti (dates, pecans and sea salt): 36g carbs, 4.5g protein, 4.4g fibre, 25g sugars, 234 kcal
    • Di Bosco (red berries and pistachios): 36g carbs, 4.5g protein, 4.4g fibre, 26.9g sugars, 238 kcal
    • Classico (citrus fruits, almonds and honey): 35g carbs, 4.4g protein, 2.6g fibre, 28.8g sugars, 224 kcal
    • Ciocco (dates, almonds and cocoa): 35g carbs, 4.4g protein, 2.6g fibre, 28.8g sugars, 224 kcal
    • Zenzero (lemon, ginger and pistachios): 33g carbs, 4.5g protein, 3.1g fibre, 24.6g sugars, 221 kcal
    • Mocha (hazelnut, coffee and cocoa): 29g carbs, 8.1g protein, 3.8g fibre, 19.9g sugars, 255 kcal

    Best Energy Bars For Running, Cycling And Hiking

    Bars suit steadier efforts where you have time to eat: long rides, hikes, base-training runs and big days out. Many athletes aim for 60 to 90g of carbohydrate an hour on long efforts, so one bar covers up to 36g of that, and you can pair it with an energy gel or energy chews as the pace lifts. For high-intensity running, where chewing is harder, gels and chews are easier to take on the move.

    Vegan, Vegetarian And Gluten Free Energy Bars

    All six bars are gluten free. Avanti, Di Bosco, Zenzero and Mocha are vegan. Classico and Ciocco contain a little honey, so they are vegetarian. All six contain tree nuts (almonds, pecans, pistachios or hazelnuts) and are not suitable for people with nut or peanut allergies. Our Vegan Variety Pack brings the plant-based flavours together in one box.

    Energy Bars vs Energy Gels, Chews And Protein Bars

    • Energy bars: real-food fuel for steadier efforts and everyday snacking, with up to 36g of carbs and up to 8.1g of protein per bar.
    • Energy gels: fast, light fuel to take on the move, with a choice of up to 45g of carbs each.
    • Energy chews: bite-sized fuel you can take a piece at a time, with up to 44g of carbs per pack.
    • Protein bars: our High Protein Crunch Bars have 20g of protein per bar, for after training or between meals.

    Mocha is our highest-protein energy bar, with 8.1g of protein and a 4:1 ratio of carbs to protein.

    Are Energy Bars Healthy?

    Energy bars are designed to fuel activity, so they are higher in carbohydrate than a typical snack: up to 36g per bar, with up to 28.8g of sugars from fruit, dates, cane sugar and syrups. Ours are made from whole foods, balanced with fibre and protein, and contain nothing artificial. They work best around exercise, and make a satisfying snack on active days. If you are not active, treat one as an occasional snack rather than a daily staple.

    How Long Do Energy Bars Last, And When Should You Eat One?

    A bar gives you steadier, slower-release fuel than a gel or chews, suited to around 60 to 90 minutes of exercise. Eat one 1 to 2 hours before training to top up, take a few bites at a time during a long ride or hike, or have one within about 30 minutes after exercise to start refuelling.

    Which Energy Bar Pack Should You Choose?

    • Single bars: try one flavour.
    • Mixed Energy Bars: 7 bars, all six flavours with Mocha twice, to find your favourite.
    • Endurance Variety Pack: Ciocco, Classico and Di Bosco, three of our highest-carbohydrate flavours up to 36g a bar, in 3, 12 or 24 bars, for demanding efforts.
