A real-food endurance bar from Racefood - dates, apricots, butter, and honey, not a lab-engineered fuel product.
What it is
A natural-ingredient endurance bar built around dates and dried apricots, with butter, egg yolk, and a touch of salt. Carbohydrate comes from whole-food sources rather than added syrups or maltodextrin, which makes it slower-releasing than a typical race gel or sports bar. Useful for athletes who want real food on the bike or trail, or who simply don't get on with the texture and sweetness of conventional fuel products.
When to use it
- Long training rides and runs where you want real food alongside or instead of gels
- Trail and ultra events with longer time-on-feet and slower fuelling cadence
- Pre-session fuel - 60-90 minutes before a moderate effort
- Everyday training snack, especially if you don't tolerate engineered sports nutrition well
- Hike days, long drives to races, or anywhere a normal bar would be too sugary
How to use it
Treat as slower-burning fuel rather than a race-pace gel substitute. One bar delivers roughly 18g of carbs - useful as a steady drip-feed during efforts where you have time to chew, but probably not your go-to during high-intensity racing. Chew thoroughly and follow with water. Watch for date pips - dates are minimally processed and the occasional stone can make it through.
Key features
- Real-food ingredients: Dates, dried apricots, butter, egg yolk, honey - not engineered syrups.
- Slower-release carbs: Whole-food sugars and starches, gentler than concentrated sports nutrition.
- Natural sweetness: No added flavourings or artificial sweeteners.
- Salted profile: A small sodium dose plus a flavour balance that holds up better than pure-sweet bars over long days.
- Bulk pack value: For athletes who eat these consistently in training.
Contains: Egg, milk, wheat, gluten, sulphites.
May contain traces of: Tree nuts, peanuts, soya, sesame.
Beware of date pips.
