Peanut Butter Anytime Bar

Energy bars are prepackaged snacks, usually in a flapjack style, that are rich in carbohydrates to provide fast-acting energy, making them convenient and sweet-tasting. They’re compact, portable, and easy to use during a workout, providing a boost that’s digestible and lets you jump right back into your exercise.

While they can come in popular flavours and contain chocolate, nuts, and fruit, what differentiates energy bars from sweet or chocolate bars is that they refuel the body with carbs, reenergising muscles for sustained energy output, rather than a simple sugar spike.

At OTE, we know there are benefits to eating our energy bars either side of a workout. By eating your energy bar between 30 and 60 minutes before exercise, you can benefit from an energy boost that fuels your body and helps you perform at your best.

Eating your energy bar within the first half an hour after your workout, however, can support recovery and act as a healthy snack to satisfy hunger. Energy bars can also be picked up as convenient, on-the-go snacks as part of a balanced diet.

What makes a snack bar healthy is the natural ingredients that it fuels the body with. The healthiest snack bars, therefore, typically contain whole grains, nuts, seeds, and fruit, all of which contain natural sugars or carbohydrates for a natural, sustained energy boost.

The healthiest snack bars, such as OTE energy and protein snack bars, avoid added sugars and saturated fats. For example, our Cherry Anytime Bar is made with 100% natural ingredients, including gluten-free oats and dried cherries.
