Are you lacking energy in winter? Well, we’ve got you covered. In this blog, we’ve selected some of our favorites to ensure your winter adventures are fueled the right way.
Snacks
Energy bars are arguably essential to a properly fueled commute, but with so many options available these days, which ones are really worth it? Our list starts with Clif Bar’s mini energy bars. A box of ten snack bars will meet your energy needs during grueling winter hikes. Their flavors range from original chocolate chip to white chocolate macadamia.
Our next favorite has to be Sports Beans from Jelly Belly. This unconventional equestrian snack should not be overlooked. Best known for its sweets, this American company has turned its attention to making jelly candies specifically for use during exercise. Offering a new alternative to traditional energy gels, it’s clear why this snack is so popular with our customers and staff.
No energy bar list would be complete without the Veloforte range. Top of the line on the market, these bars offer unique flavors to satisfy your hunger while driving. Centered on real Italian recipes, you’ll find energy bars don’t taste the same after this tasty upgrade.
Drinks
We believe that hydration is very important for riding at your best in winter and all year round. Here we’ve outlined some of our energy drink picks, starting with the SIS Go Hydro tablets. Available in flavors ranging from Berry to Pink Grapefruit, these tablets will ensure you stay hydrated even during strenuous exercise.
Likewise, Torq Energy Powder serves to ensure that your stamina is at its peak, whatever the conditions. Just one serving added to a 250ml drink provides you with 60kCal of carbohydrates, plus 5 key electrolytes – essential when sweating. The neutral taste of this product means it can be mixed with a variety of foods and drinks to obtain the necessary nutrition without altering the taste.
Veloforte provided a cooling and hydrating solution to sweaty rides with its electrolyte packets. This 2-in-1 electrolyte and hydration powder focuses on natural ingredients to ensure you don’t get held back when the going gets tough. Available for all winter riders in the flavors “Passo” (mango and passion fruit) and “Vivo” (peach, raspberry and rosehip).
Gels and chews
Having trouble finding your ideal energy gel? The SiS Go Isotonic Gel Variety Pack is a great place to start. Its range of flavors allows you to be sure to find a best value gel that suits you. Science in Sport (SiS) created its range of gels following research carried out by its team of sports scientists, nutritionists and, above all, athletes, ensuring that nothing is overlooked when it comes to the contents of the gels and their flavors.
Veloforte has taken a different approach to ride fueling in the form of energy chews. These “little wonders” are said to give the cyclist the quick energy needed on every ride. Energy Chews are also no exception to Veloforte’s bold flavors; Combinations from apple and cinnamon to sour cherry and guarana are as tasty as they are health-promoting.
