Real food that fits in a jersey pocket solves a problem most endurance athletes know too well: bars that taste like cardboard, sit in your gut like cement, or require half a water bottle just to choke down. Skratch Labs built the Energy Bar Sport Fuel around a different premise, using nut butters, oats, quinoa crisps, and dried fruit to create something you can actually chew mid-effort without regretting it twenty minutes later. The soft, pliable texture stays that way whether you're fueling a dawn patrol ride or grabbing one between meetings.

The macronutrient profile lands in a useful range for sustained energy: 200-270 calories per 50g bar depending on flavor, with 30-33g of carbohydrates, 4-5g of plant-based protein from nuts, and enough fat to slow digestion without weighing you down. Sugar content sits at 9-11g per bar, roughly half what you'll find in most mainstream energy bars. This isn't about demonizing sugar during activity when you actually need it, but about not overwhelming your system with sweetness when the goal is steady, usable energy.

What stays out of these bars matters as much as what goes in. No brown rice syrup, no protein isolates, no artificial flavors or sweeteners. The ingredient list reads like food: almond butter, cashew butter, oats, coconut nectar, tapioca syrup, quinoa crisps, dried fruit, and sea salt. Depending on the flavor you choose, you'll find additions like pistachios and dried cherries, semi-sweet chocolate and roasted peanuts, or macadamia nuts and candied lemon peel.... Read More
