PowerBar Harvest Energy Bar

PowerBar Harvest Energy bar is an ideal adaptation of nutrition science to a bar which fits in your everyday, active lifestyle.  Not everyone wants to eat an original PowerBar when they're going out for an easy run, or for a hike, or for some casual biking.  But this bar, made with whole oats, provides sustained energy through 42g carbs, 10g protein, and 5 grams of fiber.  All with the "normal food" taste of a chocolate crisp.  In fact, I prefer them over any granola bar and eat some nearly every day as part of my normal diet.

Recommended use is before and/or during exercise, specifically eating 1 bar 30–60 minutes before exercise - and for activities lasting over 1 hour, eat 1 bar per hour.  Depending on how sensitive your stomach is you may need to adjust these times, but the whole oats play to settling your stomach.  As always, consume with some water or electrolyte drink mix to ensure you're working toward your hydration goals.

Some other interesting features, there are no preservative or artificial flavors.  Your basic electrolytes are also boosted with this product as there is sufficient sodium and potassium in the bar to fuel your exercise.  Think about it this way - if you're going to eat before or during exercise you want to make it count!  Products like this one which address your carbs, proteins, and electrolytes all in one, are very valuable.
