How & When To Use
Veloforte Protein Crunch bars are built for the hours after the effort, and the days between them. 20g of complete protein and 5g of bovine collagen in every bar, from peanuts, almonds, dates and chicory root — real food that happens to be high in protein, rather than protein engineered into something resembling food. A proper crunch, flavours you'll still want on day five, and nothing on the label you'd need to look up.
| Protein per Bar | 20g complete protein across the range, from soy and rice crisps, nut butters and 5g of bovine hydrolysed collagen. Around a third of each bar’s energy comes from protein |
| Protein per Day | Active people typically aim for 1.6–2.2g of protein per kg of bodyweight daily, spread across the day rather than loaded into one meal. One bar closes a meaningful part of that gap with nothing to prepare |
| When To Take | Within 30–60 minutes of finishing a session. Or 60–90 minutes before, when you want something in you that isn’t just sugar. Equally at home at breakfast or in the mid-afternoon gap |
| Best For | Recovery after strength and endurance sessions, back-to-back training blocks, protein-light breakfasts, desk afternoons, travel and race weekends |
| Carbs & Calories | 249–256 kcal and 15.8–17.8g carbohydrate per bar. Sugars run 8.0–10.8g, from dates, chicory root and fruit — no sweeteners, no sugar alcohols. Enough to satisfy, not enough to become a meal |
| Fibre | 11.8–12.1g per bar, mostly from dates and chicory root — high in fibre by a wide margin. Build it in gradually if you’re not used to that much in one sitting |
| Texture & Chew | A genuine crunch rather than a dense chew — crisps suspended in nut butter. Easy to eat standing still. Not a during-effort bar |
| Suitable For | Gym and strength blocks, running, cycling, everyday active eating. Every bar is gluten-free and caffeine-free. All contain bovine collagen, so none are suitable for vegetarians or vegans. Peanut & Sea Salt contains peanut and soy; Cocoa & Stem Ginger and Lime & Coconut contain almond and soy |
| Recovery Strategy | Protein Crunch bars carry daily protein and the hours after training. Recovery protein handles the immediate post-session refuel; Forza sits between the two. Rotate the three flavours so the bar you reach for is still one you want |
