The Uses of Energy Bars for Sports

Sports energy bars are designed to provide a balanced nutritional intake and support athletes' endurance and performance. They are particularly useful for:

• Maintaining energy: Thanks to their complex carbohydrate content, they release energy gradually, preventing fatigue.

• Easy to transport: Compact and easy to carry, they are perfect for long training sessions, competitions, or even hiking.

• Nutritional support: Enriched with protein, fiber, and micronutrients, they contribute to muscle recovery and satiety.

What should the best energy bar contain?

The best energy bar must contain quality ingredients and essential micronutrients. A favorite with athletes for its gradual carbohydrate intake, the Flapjack is a British-born, high-energy snack made primarily from oat flakes. As a French energy bar brand, we have developed our own recipe to offer a high-quality energy bar entirely designed and manufactured in France.

Quality ingredients and essential micronutrients

An optimal energy bar must contain healthy, high-quality nutritional ingredients. Our Flapjack bars are made primarily from oat flakes, known for their numerous nutritional benefits:

• Complex carbohydrates: Oat flakes are an excellent source of complex carbohydrates, providing a prolonged energy release.

• Dietary fiber: The fiber found in oats aids digestion and contributes to a lasting feeling of satiety.

• Protein: Essential for muscle repair and growth, protein must be present in adequate amounts.

Effective energy bars must also contain essential vitamins and minerals such as:

• B vitamins: Important for energy metabolism.

• Magnesium: Essential for muscle function and cramp prevention.

• Antioxidants: To combat oxidative stress and promote recovery.

How and when to consume our energy bars?

Before exercise

Consuming an energy bar about an hour before physical activity can help maximize your glycogen stores and prepare your body for the upcoming effort. The complex carbohydrates in oat flakes ensure a gradual energy release, ideal for a strong start. Our flapjack bars can also be eaten for breakfast, ideally accompanied by 100g of bananas, 30g of almonds, and sparkling water.

During exercise

For long-term endurance activities (over 90 minutes), a bar portion (~25 grams) can be consumed every hour to maintain stable energy levels. Our bars are easy to digest, so they won't weigh you down.

After exercise

After exercise, consuming an energy bar helps replenish glycogen stores and promote muscle recovery. It's also an ideal snack to avoid post-workout cravings, although it's better to eat a high-protein bar specifically designed for recovery, such as our Recovery Bars.

In everyday life, flapjacks are ideal when you've missed a meal or as a snack.

Our energy bars are consumed by athletes in different fields such as trail running, cycling and even running.

Alternatives to energy bars

While energy bars are very practical, other options exist to diversify your intake and adapt to the constraints of different sports:

• Isotonic drink – Booster +: This ensures optimal hydration while providing carbohydrates and electrolytes.

• Energy gel – Boost Gel: A concentrated version of the energy drink, it provides a rapid supply of carbohydrates and electrolytes, ideal for consumption during exercise. No chewing required.

• Energy gums – Boost Gums: Easy to carry and consume, they offer an interesting alternative between drinks and solid products.
