Veloforte Mixed Energy Bars For Running, Cycling, Triathlon | Optimally balanced carbs and protein for sports. Gut-friendly, high-fibre, vegan and gluten-free | Variety | 7-pack

Excellent price, taste and quality.

Nice texture. Nice flavour. Walked the South Downs Way over ten days on these (also had some of the brand's companion chews). The conditions on the walk were brutal... rained heavily for four days, with heavy showers on four other days, soaked through twice despite having all the right kit, bitingly cold winds, 50mph on occasion, all despite it being early September! I nearly gave up (twice), but kept going despite the sagging spirits and exhaustion of battling with the conditions (which were also slippery underfoot). I was 65 when I did this walk. Never done anything quite on this scale before, so it's hard to know what impact these had on that walk, but I'm convinced they added something to my stamina I didn't have, especially when things got tough or close to being hyperthermic. The bars stay in good condition in the pocket or backpack. It's a given that I will continue to buy these as my 'goto' for hiking. In fact I may swear by them.

The Mocha bar was the most tastiest energy bar I’ve ever eaten!! The texture is perfect, so satisfying!! The bars are big, I’d say these would be good for something that requires endurance. Or maybe just as a mid morning treat with your coffee!! Either way - delicious and I love them!

These are great snack bars. I don’t run or cycle, but I do hike uphill and down dale, several times a week. I found I was experiencing low blood sugar especially going up hill, so these are ideal. I ordered the variety box and can honestly say I like them all and really like the fact that they contain no weird ingredients you have never heard of or chicory root fibre which plays havoc with my digestion. However, as I am hiking and not cycling or running, I have found that I prefer the 2 bars that contain higher protein, as this raises my blood sugar more gradually and falls more slowly. I know this for certain because I have been wearing a Freestyle Libre Plus 2 blood sugar monitor, which has been very useful, available on Amazon.

Not cheap but delicious - I’m not great with the traditional energy snacks but these seem to fill me up and power me on like “normal” food just in a handy size and convenient wrapper! To open the bars, grip in fist and slam down on your handlebars and the veloforte wonderment pops out the top! (Saves fiddling with the wrapper with two hands - great in the wind!)

Arrived promptly. Lots of variety in the pack. Taste great. Do the job.

Theses bars taste great and are very filling, one bite is plenty to cover up to a 30 mile bike ride in my opinion. Can be cut into sections, wrapped in foil or similar and eaten as required. Expensive, but worth it.

The variety pack is not vegan - it contains bars that have honey in. This shouldn’t be marketed as a vegan product and I only noticed because I double checked the ingredients.
