Crispy Energy Bars
These little bars are great pre, during or post training. They contain oats for a nice steady slow release of energy, Rice Krispies for a quicker release energy, Honey for a super quick release of energy, peanut butter and nuts for protein – great for recovery and also for some added calories and healthy fats.
My Iron man and cycling clients love these, they are also a great snack pre training/gym work out if you don’t have time for breakfast.
