There is a special relationship between caffeine and athlete. A wonderful relationship. You see, when we exercise, our body uses glycogen, a type of sugar that we get from food, for energy. But once those stores are depleted at the end of a long workout, we may feel tired or sluggish - signs that we have “hit the wall.” Caffeine slows the depletion of glycogen by encouraging the body to use more fat as fuel, which helps to conserve energy over long periods of time.

For this reason, sports that deplete a lot of glycogen, specifically endurance events, benefit the most from caffeine consumption. Activities lasting longer than an hour with sustained effort, such as running, cycling, and cross-country all benefit from caffeine supplementation by allowing athletes to increase their endurance, accuracy and speed.

Who needs energy bar?

Energy bar is a terrific option for athletes – or anyone – looking for a quick source of protein, complex carbohydrates, and vitamins & minerals. Convenient and easy to throw in a gym  – or handbag, for that matter – they’re a quick source of energy for athletes, students, or harried, on-the-go executives. 

Most commercially available energy bars – Clif Bars, Power Bars, and the like – cost around RM10 to RM12 each.

Not just our homemade energy bars save you money, they are great tasting, only made from premium ingredients, and the best part is ZERO SUGAR is added when making those awesome healthy goodness. Sweetness derived from dried fruits. Brilliant? I know.. :-)

Our energy bars contain around 170 to 200 calories. If you maintain an active lifestyle or are an athlete, eating an energy bar is perfectly fine because you need to maintain your calorie intake given your high level of physical activity. 

For anyone who is less active, energy bars are a good option especially if the alternative is junk food, a candy bar, or the fatty, cholesterol-laden hot breakfast . Just bear in mind that the calories will add up if you eat several per day.

Benefit: An energy bar provides increased carbohydrates and protein. These nutrients allow for an athlete to exercise harder and recover at a much faster rate.
