Rydogg Posted October 7, 2011 Share Since I can't stand energy bars, Gu, protein shakes, etc, I stick to eating chocolates during rides. I have recently discovered the miracle that is the Bar-one Peanut Power chocolate. http://www.nestle.co.za/Common/NestleImages/PublishingImages/Brands/whats_new/barone_peanut.jpg More energy, more protein and it tastes awesome. It's also not as chewy or sweet as the normal Bar-one so you can get it down pretty easily and it doesn't burn your throat. One of these an hour and you're sorted. Flip, I love these things.

The black cat peanut butter bars are good too and a nice size for a chow during riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTB_Roadie Posted October 7, 2011 Share Do you only race in winter or the north pole? Or does it become a nice gooey choco peanut gel after an hour in your back pocket? hahaha! I had one of these, at the karoo 2 coast it melted in the heat....it ended up being Gu...my face looked like a young kid who ate chocolate sauce and never mind my hands...what a disaster! It does taste good tho....but not for heat at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cippo Posted October 8, 2011 Share Do you only race in winter or the north pole? Or does it become a nice gooey choco peanut gel after an hour in your back pocket?Saw this in a local mag once. Freeze one of your bottles with a Bar- One or Snickers in and when bottle thaws the bar is still good and not gooey. Ive being trying the Low Gi date and apple bars from woolies. They good too and dont melt easy cos theres no choc in. Goes down easy too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get off my bak grammar nazi My wife insists on calling it a CamelbaG and no matter what I do, that's what she'll call it. It always conjure up images of something hanging between a camels' legs. Yugh. Sometimes you just have to accept them, little faults and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheelsuck Posted October 12, 2011 Share Tried the Peanut Bar One and it is really nice. The MOF bought some "fresh" Snicker Bars back from her visit to the States and some Jelly Belly's....Now life is perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
