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 quick-energy real food bar built around almonds, dried cranberries, and honey. Fast-acting fuel for hard efforts and pre-race use - small, dense, and easy to get down.
What the Racefood Cranberry & Almond Fastbar is
A 22g pressed bar from Racefood, with almonds and dried cranberries as the main solids and a glucose-syrup-and-honey base for fast carb delivery. Each bar gives 419 kJ (100 kcal), 14g of carbs (13g of which are sugars), and 4g of fat.
The Fastbar is the smaller, faster-hitting sibling of the Farbar - higher sugar ratio, lower fibre, designed to be eaten quickly and absorbed quickly rather than chewed through over time.
When to use the Racefood Cranberry & Almond Fastbar
- 15 minutes before a session or race for a fast carb top-up
- Mid-race when you need quick energy without a gel
- Short, intense training sessions of 60-90 minutes
- As a pocket-sized energy hit on long rides, hikes, or runs
How to use the Racefood Cranberry & Almond Fastbar
Eat one bar 15 minutes before a session, or every 30-40 minutes during longer efforts. At 14g of carbs per bar you'd need 4-5 per hour to hit 60g/hr on bars alone - in practice most athletes use these alongside a drink mix or gels rather than as the sole carb source.
Chew well and wash down with water or a sports drink to support absorption.
