I like to eat Cliff Bars and Power Bars (I pick the flavor with the less grams of sugar) when trail riding. Does anyone know of a better bar to eat that would provide better energy or better nutrition then these 2 bars?
Well, from what my girl says, Balance and Kashi bars are supposed to be best. (She just came by my office and saw your post) I, on the other hand, have no idea, but they taste good!
Sorry, Anyone who trail rides with me knows I stuff my fanny pack with little debbies nutty bars. I don't know that they do anything for energy but they taste better and you can actualy chew them with out having to lay it across some thumpers glowing exhaust 1st. Now they have exta peanutty bars!!!
Look at the nutritional information on a power bar or similar product, and then compare to, say, a snicker bar. You might be surprised how similar they are. Might as well eat something that tastes good.
Try Gu. This stuff works pretty well. And it taste's way better than the Power bars. It's just a gel that you put in your mouth and wash it down with a shot of water. The chocolate tastes really good! I get mine at the local bicycle store.
