Shows how much energy the product has by comparing it to bananas.
One banana is about 20g of carbs, so this tells you how many bananas’ worth of energy you’re getting per serving.
A caffeinated quick-energy real food bar built around macadamia nuts, honey, and real coffee. Fast carbs with a small caffeine hit - useful for pre-race or mid-session top-ups when you want a lift.
What the Racefood Coffee Bean Fastbar is
A 22g pressed bar from Racefood, with macadamia nuts and honey on a glucose-syrup base, plus 1.5% real coffee for a mild caffeine kick. Each bar delivers 293 kJ (70 kcal) and 11g of carbs (10g of which are sugars).
This is the caffeinated variant in the Fastbar line - same fast-acting carb profile as the other Fastbars, with the addition of coffee for an alertness boost. Lower total energy per bar than the Cranberry & Almond version because of the smaller honey ratio.
When to use the Racefood Coffee Bean Fastbar
- 15 minutes before a session or race when you want a caffeine lift alongside fast carbs
- Mid-race energy and alertness top-up, especially late in long efforts
- Early-morning sessions where coffee timing is awkward
- Short, intense training of 60-90 minutes
How to use the Racefood Coffee Bean Fastbar
Eat one bar 15 minutes before a session or every 30-40 minutes during longer efforts. Caffeine content per bar is not stated on the source - based on 1.5% coffee in a 22g bar, expect a small dose only (likely under 10mg), so this is more of a flavour and mild perk than a caffeine strategy. If you're using caffeine deliberately for performance, supplement with a dedicated caffeinated gel or tablet.
Chew well and wash down with water or a sports drink.
