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 synthetic additives or artificial shortcuts. They sit within our Perform range, made for active people who want real nutrition without the trade-offs.
-
Most are; Di Bosco, Avanti and Zenzero are vegan and vegetarian, while Classico and Ciocco are vegetarian as they contain honey. Across the range the bars are gluten-free, dairy-free and GM-free.
-
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.
-
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 coffee flavour but no actual caffeine.
-
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 of carbs per bar depends on which bar you choose, the highest carb bars are Ciocco, Classico, Avanti and Di Bosco which all contain 35-36g of carbs.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Yes — they provide natural protein from the fruit and nuts they're made with, alongside their carbohydrates, making them a more balanced, sustaining option than fast carbohydrate fuels. Mocha contains the most protein out of all of the energy bars, with 9g of protein. If you are looking for a higher protein option, our Protein Crunch Bars contain 20g protein per bar.
-
Yes. They're made from whole, recognisable ingredients — fruit, nuts and natural flavours — with no gums, synthetic additives or artificial shortcuts. Real nutrition you can see and taste, built for performance and everyday energy alike.
