Energy bars and energy gels can be convenient, but they may not any better at improving endurance or performance than some lower-cost or homemade options. Energy Gels vs. Grape Jelly Energy gels are in convenient packets for squirting into your mouth and.“However, they use sports drinks, energy gels and bars frequently during training and competition; the sugar in these products increases the risk of tooth decay and the acidity of them increases the risk of erosion.
This could be contributing to the high levels of tooth decay and acid erosion we saw during the dental check-ups.”.New research from Massey University in New Zealand found that athletes who consumed gels, sports drink, or a combination of an energy bar with gel and drink.Unlike a traditional sports drink that contains a 4% to 8% carbohydrate concentration, energy drinks exceed the upper end of the limit to values of 12% or higher.
In other words, the sugar concentration is around 10-12 g per 100 g, or 25—31 g per 250 ml can, about the same concentration as most soft drinks (e.g. cola).Sports Drinks have been around for a lot longer than most people would think. In fact Gatorade was developed in 1965 at the University of Florida and athletes have been formulating their own sports drinks for decades. Some of the downsides of the sports drink led the way for the development of the sports energy bar and sports gels.
The sports nutrition industry is one of the biggest and the most successful in the world. Protein shakes, NO2 and other vasodilators, isotonic energy drinks, energy bars, creatine, testosterone boosters, recovery bars and more – all of them are products that we buy in order to better perform in the gym, on the race track and on the pitch.There are an endless number of sports drinks, gels, bars, pills, mixes and others to help the athlete achieve this during endurance exercise.
Before we get too far ahead of ourselves, it would be wise to understand a bit more about the body and re-fueling. Myth: Replace What You Lose.Trail mix and gorp are still around, but now there are also lots of high-energy bars, gels and drinks to help get you where you’re going.

But if you believe sports drink advertising, everyone needs a sports drink following exercise to adequately rehydrate their bodies, replenish electrolytes, and restore energy. Dig a little deeper, and you’ll soon learn the facts outweigh the fiction surrounding sports drinks.The study also highlighted that 87 per cent of athletes used sports drinks, 59 per cent used energy bars and 70 per cent used energy gels, which are.
The difference between an energy bar and an energy drink, besides its physical state, is that the bar does not have any caffeine. These versatile bars come in many different flavours that range from the simple vanilla, chocolate or strawberry to the more decadent raw cacao with peanut butter and the fruit-based flavours.Also, an energy bar won’t hydrate you like a gel (with added water) will. Gels. Energy gels are a way to refill carbohydrate stores that are emptied when running.
A single serve pack of gel consists of a mixture of glucose and fructose and usually contains 20-30g of carbohydrates, as well as sodium. Pros: Gels are much more energy-dense than.

I used sport in science gels at the beginning of my running journey, even for 10km races. I now no longer use gels and try to consume all my energy through food before the race. I did take two energy gels to the Salisbury Half but never used them as I never felt like I needed it
Me: sees sports drinks/energy bars in store
Also me: i kinda want that
Me again: nah, i already deal with my ADHD, i don’t need more energy
I love McCann’s Steel cut oats which I load up with brown sugar, cinnamon, bananas, etc. Yum. I use the overnite absorption method so no nutrient loss through boiling. I’m certified in food prep so I know a touch about how to keep nutrients where they belong in the food to be consumed, not escaping in water vapor.
Money scame.Sugar sugar sugar. AKA Poison Poison Poison. Drink water eat right.
Fuel(natural) is very important as you workout. Just remember that we all have different needs.
Footwear is important for what workout you plan to do if you do, not have the right floor padding needed. Jumping support, I need it.
I for one found it really interesting to know how they make them (they are my favoured brand), but also their attention to detail and quality control. Cheers Si.
Can anyone make an estimate of the amount of carbohydrates in the recipe, or average per bar?
Hopefully SIS will offer a gluten-free energy bar at some point ��
He discredits himself as a food scientist as soon as he says “natural foods”.
Simon, how many times you are gonna say “tastes so good”?
Simon: yes.
At face value, a layman reader may not actually understand what, say, hydrogenated palm oil or monodicalcium phosphate is as per reflected on the ingredients list of food products.
It seems that many of consumers really do not care about the specific contents of what they put into their bodies. Probably (even most likely), these consumers believe everything that they see & hear from the ads.
Take the case of Milo. I saw an ad of it being promoted as a “nutritional energy” drink. But come to think of it is it really a nutritional energy drink as the manufacturer claims it to be? Or nobody asks such a question anymore.
Why does it focus to such an extend on doping? As non-pro I’d rather like to hear tips on good nutricion, like when to use which product, advantages over “normal” resin bars, what is when released and picked up by the body, and the such.
Great recipe! You could also add some lightly crushed chia or flax seeds for added crunch. Never mind the health benefits. Thank you for all the hard work!
Tucson is my hometown and shes beutiful! Even though the weather is bi polar
I use Maurten gels for races mostly. I plan on having the non caf at mile 8 and 14 depending on how I’m feeling. I’ll go with the Caf 100 at mile 20 to give me an extra boost. I love nuun and they’re showing up in many US marathons. I probably drink too much of it.
Otherwise, I like Canaberry/long haul/ speed nut from Spring Energy during training. Also Jelly Belly sports beans are a good chewy solid that tastes like candy. They’re much different than the baked beans Brits eat for breakfast ���� I swear you lot are anti social eating baked beans for breakfast *fart*!
@GCN I made these and they are, as he says, “bloody good”. I recommend buying some small re-usable containers and cutting these to size, you can fit 2 per small container, then storing them in your jersey during your ride. I originally tried single-use plastic wrap but, since this recipe is so oily, it leaks everywhere and gets super messy. On that note, I’d also recommend not using the 3/4 cup of oil per the recipe, but more like 1/2 cup (or maybe even a smidge less). Will be making these again cheers!
We all know the answer.We just like people calling out others.
Just ask the young Sudanese girl walking miles and miles in the hot dessert under the blazing sun to collect clean water, everyday!
She doesn’t need any sports drink
I doubled the recipe and made 4 substantial modifications. 1) Used half the amount of brown sugar, 2) substituted golden syrup for natural honey, 3) sunflower seeds for almond slices, and 4) almond butter instead of peanut butter. Overall it was delicious but next time I will use less sugar and use maple syrup instead of honey. Thanks for the great recipe!
Can we have a special beer flavored energy gel? I’d buy like 20 cases if you did
Hey hey my my.. Can the restaurant sketch be a regular feature? ��
Wat is golden syrup? Do u mean honey. Can v skip oil as v r using peanut butter n golden syrup both. Awaiting ur reply.
Can we get a video on how you guys package and consume your home made bars during rides? Or if anyone can give suggestions that would be great as well ����
I use them in the same situations an intra-workout donut is acceptable
Great to see the quality control for the certification against the banned substances. Thanks for the insight to the manufacturing process GCN!
Tried Maurten… no different from all other carb powders.
It’s just an expensive, over priced carb powder.
Who is a chocolate lover? Would you put cacao powder in yours?
Parent: my kid had a good game, got him a sports drink with 8 spoons of sugar, he deserves it! Sugar is addictive more than cocaine. Focus goes out the window after sugar use. Watch Robert Lusting videos.
energy drinks and bars dose not make you better you make your self better
When I was doing a lot of cycling and out for hours at time I learned to take an electrolyte pill, basically the point that was being made at the end with the triathlete on the exercise bike.
thanks for the video, will give it a shot… Do you have any recipes for home made “electrolyte” drinks?
I have to agree with this report in many aspects. And this is from my own personal experience. I had to quit drinking any type of sodas in May of this year. So not being a big fan of water LOL I turn to Gatorade. And from me too now I have seen my weight skyrocket. So I’ve had to cut out the Gatorade’s or more likely just cut them down. Down to 132 ounce per day. Where I was drinking three or four. But it will pack the pounds on you. I am a testament to that.
Very interesting. Surprised to see so many manual tasks in the factory….thought it would be more automated
You: *two hours into running* “So, 2 hours in!” *looks/breathing totally normal* “gonna try this thing!..”
Me: *20 mins into running* ��
���� thanks for the review. Looking for a gel and was worried about flavor and texture. I’ll def give these a try!
I use a local Brazilian energy gel brand called “exceed”. I consume 01 every 30 minutes within a marathon! It has 21g of carbs and a nice mix of glucose and fructose in order to improve absorption!
These power drinks different kinds are all owned by Coca-Cola Pepsi vitamin water is owned by Coca-Cola at people that are read the labels and open their eyes
It´s cool that its vegan, but are not made like a pro, it´s junk food.
You can play around with the recipe alot, it doesn’t really matter. Just remember to press it down really hard, especially if you have less sugar, and let it cool properly.
I’ll buy a blue gatorade or powerade every once in a while, because i like the taste.
Hey guys, Fellow cyclist recently i chopped my finger with the cassette and need your help. I wont go into much details being that im sure u dont want me to go on and on, but if your concerned or curious PLEASE PLEASE! Visit my page! https://www.gofundme.com/my-unfortunate-accident-costs
Gatorade now has a zero sugar version I switched to it since I am a diabetic it did not taste as good at first but I quickly became use to it and now enjoy it. I get tired of only water all the time and dont drink soda or anything else.
Sports/energy drinks make me more hungry. Is that done on purpose?
It depends of the activity. When i’m cycling for 6 or 7 hours i usually eat 3 of them, but i also have some fruits like bananas or oranges with me. And water, obviously.
Sis is the only brand I use…. simply because they are the best.
The one thing I REALLY missing here is recovery time; I’m quite curious how regular workouts affect the energy burn and recovery cycle.
Yeah running without shoes your knees will have major issues
god creates people:
also people: makes unhealthy drinks
god:why dont u use the water i gave you all
god:;c
Baseball pitcher Bob Gibson wrote in a book that he only had asthma as a kid thus his ad saying he had asthma to promote an inhaler was misleading.
WTF, GCN makes even granola bar manufacturing worth watching and entertaining.
I would not consider the training we are seeing or even the short time these athletes spend on their event “20 secs to maybe 10 minutes”.I work outside in the heat/sun everyday,sometimes near 100 degrees but down in a deep hole there is no air/wind,we become extremely dehydrated very quickly and begin to lack energy rather quickly>>Concrete worker.When we strip the forms off the concrete it generates a fair bit of heat,i would say the heat is around 120 degrees,maybe even hotter,sweat begins to drop off our body very quickly.
This IMPACT test is a CONTROLLED test and NOT accurate what so ever.Again i work in concrete and walk around uneven ground and sometimes walking on a concrete surface.MOST like 90% of shoes and boots have terrible support and will give me a lot of pain in the knees and swollen feet and a sore back.So i utilize no particular brand but support/cushion soles i feel are good enough and it makes a huge difference.So they can do these controlled tests all they want,i test them in REAL life under REAL conditions.
Try wearing winter gloves all the time. Do you think ppl evolved with these kind of shoes on their foot?
I only drink Gatorade when I’m sick, vomiting, dehydrated and can’t keep anything down. It replenishes what I have lost in an easy way, but I dont need it for my day to day life
how do you pack these? it kind of melts in the jersey pocket
My son and I made this over the weekend. The taste was AMAZING!! However, they just crumbled up. Trying again today, hope they can be cut into actual bars…they are so good, they need to be travel friendly!!
I want that kind of person in my life 4:54 to 458. Encourager/Destiny Helper. God bless
We watched a well built strong young friend have a heart attack from starpukes devils brew of caffeine sprayed addiction guaranteed coffee beans. We won’t even buy the beans at costco. Working on full sleeve tats also.
Does wearing workout clothing while eating bbq chips make you ripped? Exactly who tf made this
CBC, thank you for introducing such an informative rubric. Some of these episodes completely changed my mind about commercial products.
3:16 I agree with this woman 100% plus I have no patience for meal prepping, cooking, chewing chicken and waiting an hour to digest the meal a tasty 400 calorie protein bar is good enough for me now that I’m dieting and busy watching youtube videos.
5:33 This was obviously filmed before Fit Crunch bars became so popular with only 6 grams of sugar, I’d be interested in an update.
19:02 betcha 98% of us “exercisers” just put ourselves in that 2%
Wait! The bottled water contains micro-silica fibres and BP-A and God knows what else. Don’t drink anything from a plastic bottle.
I calculate roughly 3000 kCal (just plain calories for those in the US) per batch.
Use agave nectar instead of syrup instead its low GI and just as sweet tastes seriously good too
so….the caffeine ones are just about pointless according to the science, not these guys, actual science that says you should take caffeine, ie cup of coffee or tea, an hour pre ride and it last several hours….so any bar or gel with caffeine is…..pointless…
Sorry, but I much prefer Si’s Uber bars, plus a lot cheaper.
No offense but Hannah Grant’s version of energy bars that she made in your other videos are much better, either nutrients wise and for taste, so much garbage in these ones
The only thing they forgot to mention, is that if someone consumes too much water, that too can be unhealthy depleting the body’s electrolytes…. at least that is what I have heard from some trainers & doctors. I think marketplace should test that theory too.
Glad to finally meet your cat! For Chicago I’m thinking to try to front load calories: 2 Maurten every 1/2 hour, along with their sport drink, maybe 1-2 humma plus middle mileage, 1 Raw velo if I can still stomach it in latter part of race. Use the raw velo last as it is tart, the Maurten with maurten sports drink in first hour as they are rather sweet. Discard maurten bottle asap.
whats the difference between a supermarket muesli bar and a sis bar?
They were supposed to have Matt host this tour but there are no nuts allowed in the facility.
Yeah. SiS products are ridiculously overpriced in my country so I buy a local brand, and I make my own as well.
Too much stuff with sugar.
Too sweet.
Also if you don’t really like peanut butter don’t put alot in it.
Creative video made me laugh, good work. used sis for first time on my 1st half marathon on weekend, can’t compare them against anything yet but they done the job for me. They are a little bulky in the pocket tho
I watched the ad before the ad. I don’t know what’s wrong with me.
Thanks. I used Canadian maple syrup, added a few grains of coffee, pinch of cinnamon, extra go of peanut butter and one squirt of honey.
Soy protein isolate? ERGH… No thanks… No wonder I don’t eat the crap that SiS make…
If you heat at more then 40 degree centigrade are you destroying almost all vitamins and nutrition elements of each single component?
I know this is old, but GCN should do more cooking vidoes. If I not riding I’m eating after all!
I think as long as SiS stay away from Jon Jones, they should be OK.
Is the obsession with having nut free products actually creating more people who are allergic to nuts? This is a geuine question, does anyone know?
Company wants to turn over 50m in 2020? What about the EBITDA…
i feel like the drinks make you feel boosted which gives you that positive urge to do better in what your doing after you finished drinking it
Another off topic lol. Do a training camp in Mallorca, ex fit 1st cat, I would join in on. It would be epic with ur fan base and expertise
Who is a science addict like me? Give a like if you are one or if you are generous enough and best reply will win a free intro from Gmail
I’m sorry but… no.
A candy factory that does not hire oompa loompas can not be taken seriously!
GU, Salted Caramel flavor, they have 40mg caffeine. That’s all I’ve ever used, they work for me so I’m sticking with um.
Gatorade is made by Pepsi-CO; with plants in Wuhan,province, China. Google it.
Shouldn’t this video been entitled: ‘How energy bars are made in a factory’?
Great review thanks. Running my 1st Marathon in April. Need some fuel for the second half. I’ve bought a load of these for training and the race itself. Thanks.
I now you did trained a lot end your friends too that is why I like the way the videos is made and explain to us. I kan relate.Pat from Belgium ��
By far my favorite engery gel/bar brand, also the only one I actually like the taste of:D
My man put 200 gram sugar and 2 tablespoons of suryp, and hes worried about sugar in the peanut butter… lmfao bruh..
One of Nike’s new shoes make you run 5% faster
-controversial in the upcoming Olympic
High 5 aqua caffeine gels at mile 9 on a half and every 5 miles on a marathon
As you may know, with the right training most nutritional stuff being sold is not needed. The times you currently run a half marathon, you do not need any gels. And unless you sweat buckets, or pissed from night before, no water/hydration needed either.
Buy directly from SIS in bulk it’s not expensive (bet all the guys saying it’s to expensive ride carbon)
I’m a mountain biker, but I love to watch gcn’s channel more than gmbn’s. coz gcn’s more cheerful
The amount of ingredients used in the video and the amount stated in the descripion box arent of the same quantity at all..
When i melted all the ingredients thats supposed to be melted.. it didnt turn liquidy at all but it was a paste and wouldn’t melt at all.
To be noted, i used extra virgin coconut oil instead of sunflower oil( and yes 200ml is 1/2 cup not 3/4 cup)
Used honey in place of syrup
And i used no sugar no oil pure peanut butter.
I tried to opt for healthy options wherever possible.. it was hard to work all the ingredients in as 225g of oats was a lot.. like a lot..
I added 2 more tbsp of peanut butter n 1 tbsp of coconut oil.. o made it work somehow… got it together and put in the oven.. Once it was all soften then i presse down hard on the granola to shape it….
Its out of the oven now.. waiting for to cool down..
Will update results soon..
The best thing I’ve found on the net was plans from Avasva.
I use Active root/ Tailwind. I’m quite lucky with gels I can use all makes without stomach issues.
My recent favorite shows are with Simon Richardson and the tours he does with various company’s doing the behind the scene videos. Very entertaining, keep up the great work you guys!!
11:05 Was it made in, or does it come from Russia? If no, then you’re probably fine.
Nice SiS tour. Being a Yank, I’m all about the Clif bar life, especially when I can reliably get them bulk in the US for $.90 (or less) a bar. I love baking, but it’s so much cheaper to buy bars vs. make them.
I used to workout at the YMCA,been on the bikes and treadmills,lifted weights.I can workout at a good pace,solid resistances for 2-3 hours and not come even close to one day at work.Matter of fact,i was going to a rehab sort of program,following my trainers suggestions for 6 months.After 6 months went back to work,i did not feel ready for work but after only 3 days i felt actually working did 100x more for my body than 6 months of training on treadmills and bikes and the weight room.
If anything,i would tend to agree with the suggestion that kids should not use Energy drinks and do not need them.
My name is Elisha Mateka,a Kenyan youth.I like the new way to treat myself before and aftery rides… Though I need a road bike to help me reach my dream..Kindly support me to reach my dre in cycling career.
do you need to wrap them in plastic wrap? it could get messy on hands and pockets
Why does it look like Si and Ben Samuels are in front of a green screen? Was there a stunt planned or something?
There are many followers from the Middle East we wish to translate all the films in Arabic because we love you very much and benefit from you
Bought ten of these bars, two of them were moldy I was lucky to open the first moldy one before the race, because during the race I would just eat it without examining it. It was well within the best before date (about half a year remaining). So… no, thanks, I will stick to the ones I make myself.
You should not cook nuts as cook faty protian is not good please do your research before giving health advice
Hey GCN! What’s the music track playing in the very beginning?
Well, just knocked up a batch with olive oil (good…er..well expensive anyway, olive oil) and honey. Just waiting for it to cool, then I’ll chop it up, wrap it in something and then wait like a good little lad till I’m off out on the bike tomorrow before giving a bash. (Honest!)
Smells fantastic just out of the oven!!
You know, maybe I should just try a bit in case it doesn’t taste nice? Waddya think?
LOL @ 1:48 “…it’s whole foods” as they’re pouring in maltodextrine…
Great insight. I’m a fan of making my own bars. But if ever in a pinch and need store bought these look great.
So the most you’ll want to drink of Gatorade after an hour is around a shot. Maybe half a shot. Then just drink water, lots of it. As for protein, even stuff like jerky will do for replenishment of sodium.
But what about heat? I only drink sports drinks when I’ve been in the heat all day and sweat profusely. If I don’t, I get a headache, fatigued, and crabby. I know it’s because I’ve sweated out my sodium. Then again, this is a Canadian show.
Almost a half a pound of brown sugar., but “the peanut butter is good quality stuff with no sugar in it”.. we don’t want that stuff in our peanut butter.. lol
I’ve been using a mix of SiS and Muir gels during this marathon training block, as well as Tailwind energy mix for hydration. I love the fact that I can take SiS without chasing it with water. I’ve tried various GUs but they just don’t work for me. I like Maurten but agree that the price point limits it to race day.
PS as always, much appreciative of the humor you infuse into these videos ��
Legit question, but how do you pack them into your jersey pockets?
Zip lock bags?
Any convenient method where I can just tear the packaging off when I’m spinning one handed?
Or do I have to stop and feed when feeding with homemade bars like this?
These rich companies can market and tell you bologna that is good for you diabeetus is around the corner
Why is the rolling job assigned to a person and not a machine?
Never used sports drinks. I’ve always relied on water. I’ve been competing for 34 years. These things are a waste of time.
Interesting surprised the process isn’t more automated TBH.
I drink Gatorade because it tastes good. I limit it just like any other sugary drink because I know it isn’t as healthy as water is with a good meal.
This vid gave me lots of inspiration! To make my own food. Yuck those were some gross looking shots.
… come on where do you find some of these people… I did not know there was that much sugar in Gatorade… you can taste the sugar in it… but my fav is red Gatorade…
That’s a lie..
you burn only 2000 calories 6 hours of walking.
So, there’s this thing called diabetes, and you can get it even if you’re skinny…
High five bud you did great ���� im taking the sage canaday spring gel witch is great at mile 23 and maurten begining and first 3 hours of ��at the Chicago marathon this weekend ����
Thanks Heather.
Its 28deg c in Oz at the moment,your more than welcome to visit.
Idealism freaking every game which band did you say better for me
good shoes is the only thing that will work out of the 3 shown at the start.
I am surprised. Almost all manual production, very little automation.
Just finished the bars and waiting for them to cool off!! Thanks Si!! I replaced sunflower with coconut oil! Next time i will try to replace sugar with sweetener and golden syrup with honey!!! They taste SERIOUSLY GOOD ��
Nice movie. However you should take instructions from Avasva website if you want to learn how to make it easily.
Well si I hope they gave u more than one box as I feel a give away coming on thanks to SIS
Great video. Looks like a great recipe. I’ll just leave this here for a few laughs:

Yum, looks way better than homemade golden syrup flapjacks. And much cheaper too!
What the absolute funk is a “cup”?
Here in UK we have scales and measuring jugs
I am a cyclist and like the light watery flavor and actually really like the texture. I just ordered a 50 pack.
I made some bars similar to this, but added a shot of espresso!!

Couldn’t help but think of Pete’s schweddy balls. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPpcfH_HHH8
the main thing to take away from these marketplace videos is “keep it simple”
I was buying SIS products until I saw Aspartame in my drink mix. I can’t believe I consumed countless bottles of this crap. Back to making my own bars and using companies like Skratch Labs.
Doesn’t look like you’ve been eating many of these bars Si, looking really lean indeed.
“made from whole foods” camera shows a load of chemicals and powders
Ah GCN you’re killing me120ml is 1/2 cup not 3/4. No wonder why my bars were soupy. That’s okay, I can always try again ��
Will they go bad after 2 weeks on the road and out of fridge in the summer heat?
Pro Keds sneakers, in the sixties, said they help you run faster and jump higher. My younger brother went to a Black Muslim store that said the same claim for his sneakers but my brother was unconvinced.

Can you make ’em waterproof for those long swim sessions?
I’d like to some with me in my speedos
Added all the above ingredients and added 50g of dark chocolate �� Unbelievably good!
Does anybody else think that SiS products taste like Laundry liquid?
so attractive when a guy knows how to bake. and then its for cycling, hell yea
wow, gcn used to be so much more fun and relatable, compared to the overproduced product placement show it is now
I think that this is the equivalent to “Gamer” PC components, all flashy, expensive and not much when it comes to improve performance. Glad to know you can also make a meme of “sports” or “running” products.
How long would a batch of these keep. Doing London to Paris in September. So would take some in a Tupperware container
Have been making these for a year. Use molasses in lieu of syrup, dried cranberries, & chopped dates. Rave reviews. Thanks for idea!!!
as a home mechanic what are the best books on bike maintenance and service??
I’ve used SIS from Amazon before, they are heavy in the pocket and I prefer GU
1:17, this means everything to me. I might just try these bars!!!
Next week I will trying out baby food in a 100k. In my 100miler I discovered Anzac biscuits worked a treat. I will use gels to start with which is Gu alternating with Tailwind, but after about 50k I need to get more solid calories in.
Am starting to train for an half ironmain and was thinking about ordering. 9:00 for using 2 5 a week its not that much of a deal:D
If you keep it in the oven at more then 40 degree centigrade are you destroying almost all vitamins and nutrition elements of each single component?
Can you please let me know where to buy paper to envelop the rice cake or bars? It’s not easy to find a brand and a shop in Europe that sell it. Please let me know. Best regards and congratulations for the channel
Berlin marathon was simple, Maurten 100 at mile 6, 12, 18 and 22 (gels 2+4 the caffeine version) easy on the tummy and no peaks and drops. Great video as always dude
Hm how about low carb and less sweet? Any idears? Doesn’t need to be a bar, kind of pudding would be fine too. Just no shakes, I hate shakes. Lol
Thanks for the great video! I’m on my third batch and have just made a batch with the following substitutions and it tasted great: canned pumpkin for half of the oil, walnuts instead of almonds, molasses instead of golden syrup, and added 1/4 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. Next I’m going to use maple syrup, yummmmm.
Although peanuts are legumes rather than nuts, like nuts they can buffer the sugars and moderate the glycemic response
The average American consumes 22 teaspoons, or 110 grams of sugar, on a daily basis more than three times the 36-gram limit for men and the 20-gram limit for women that the American Diabetes Association recommends.
Not cycling related but I need to know, what was the song at the end when Simon walks out of the door?
Are they stable enough to just put in the pocket on the jersey? Or do you package them somehow?
How long will these last in terms of expiration and how to store them?!
Water is healthier than gatorade for sure, but if you forgot to eat breakfast than gatorade is good because it has sugars, carbs, calories, sodium, and pottasium. So it does have ingredients that can help you hydrate and fuel your body if you need a quick boost. Gatorade is defienetly more healthy than monsters, red bulls, and rockstars.
is there any way of harnessing global farm wastage aka
when glut happens
or sun drying of pineapple bananas what ever product
this is still small production as how big it could become
aka having these options in school canteens
Who added that music when Heather was playing with the balls?? Hahahaha.
Good work again guys, nice and simple:)
I use SiS just for the price and they do the job without givin me stomach issues (if you still haven’t found a flavour you don’t like, try the double espresso…revolting!). I’d like to try the Maurten gels but they cost a little more than I can justify spending on something I’m going to whip through so quickly.
“her electrolytes are basically identical”, and her face at 19:20 lol
I Make these and they taste soooooooo good, I don’t buy cycling specific food, to expensive, not necessary for the average cyclist ��♀️
I played 6 hours of basketball and didn’t have a sports drink lmao
This was so funny hope to make these bars and eat them as I make them because you made them like ok so gooood ������
Anything for dessert?
Sounds like my main course! I recall one half marathon when I’ve packed myself with gels…and forgot to digest…
Kinda difficult having these sitting in the pockets all the way to the finish.
‘No bother fasting, start slow cross the line faster’! Real goodies await behind.
Hmm, sweet memory B-)
Bon appétit monsieur.
Everyone has their own opinion on sports drinks and protein bars.if it helps you the best then continue with it. There will be people (CBC) that tell you that these are bad for you
Short answer no
Long answer no, just drink water with lemon juice.
14:00 so to be honest im broke to own shoes for gym and now as i see that it’s much better without them i guess i’m going to continue to run without them.
I would go for some peanut powder �� very nice to have some videos with home made food content! Definetely going to try this after my uni exams
PS I like Maurten (kinda pricey), Spring Energy and SIS for racing but I use the less expensive gels in training. Honey Stingers and GU. I know the maltodextrin bothers some and having to take fluids in after is a pain though.
Here’s the problem with foods like this. You end up eating them as cookies instead of using them as an energy supplement during a sporting activity!! Caveat emptor!! They look da,n good though I must admit.
I sure hope the had a fire protection engineer look at their facility. I am a fire protection engineer that specialized in process facilities for awhile and that type of facility has a potential to have a combustible dust issue.
Hi guys, I’m an Italian student doing a marketing research for academic purposes. If you regularly buy energy bars, could you please respond to this super quick questionnaire? -> https://unibocconi.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2nwbN3KH0MeiRcF. It’s just about telling us the first three attributes that come to your mind when you consider whether to buy a specific bar. Thanks a lot
I’m a footballer and do runs regularly for fitness, and I have too agree they’re effective especially at half time for team sports. Also the texture it’ll 100 % make you cringe but after two or five times you get used too it.
Good review:)
Good insight into how the bars are made only thing is I can’t stand any of SIS products I have tried nearly all of them and the taste is rank sorry guy I will stick with home made or high5 which I can take just about:-D
I’m thinking of trying these with some condensed milk, heated to condense it further like you would for the toffee base in a bannofee pie, toffee, nuts, dates and apricots, rolled in the cacao…….
I really hope your misses came in during your acting stint as the waiter and just do the typical…disapproving shake of the head….
If your tiny cyclist hands can’t mix or cut, just call you swimming buddy arms trained for strokes will do the job. Wait….or learn how to use your legs in kitchen)
awesome!!! i just doubled everything to make my oven plate full and i used a powerful food processor for convenient mixing and skipped the cooker.
I wish I had bikes like the gcn team �� I can only afford a steel frame bike.
Although good vid I feel sorry for you, as you had to go to Nelson to film it.
I only drink sports drink when I’m in the gym or if I’m working
I switched to forefoot running in about 50 feet,after that it felt right and the natural way I should’ve been running my whole life.
Used Isostar gel and it is too sugary and needs a water drink after use. I like SIS a lot for usability and tastes, used it during my recent marathon.
+ SIS has different types of gels: energy, with electrolytes and coffeine.
I think Si should wear a hairnet every day, it’s a good look mate. lol
I suspect SIS has suddenly had a spike in test certificate request.
I tried this and now I’m afraid I might actually get fatter.. They taste SO GOOD
gatorade is more hydrating then water
water is only the 8th, the best is orange juice
Have you tried the new Unived Elite Gels? 190kcal and a 2:1 ratio with 45g carbs. You should review them!! http://www.unived.in
Was it after Matt’s visit that they decided to ban nuts from the entire site? ����
I used BANANAS instead of OIL and HONEY, and half brown sugar crystals and half raw jaggery,,, DELICIOUS ��������
Hi guys, I’m trying to find a nut and sesame seed free bar as allergic any ideas?? Thanks
I did a 7 hour cycle today with regular breaks. My body actually craved fruits more than energy bars. And I only drank 2.5 L of mineral water. Next time I’ll stock up on fruits, especially oranges cos my body loves those more than muesli
I have attendance to eat the mixture before the oven and I put cashews in the mixture
This is Billy.This a multi million dollar hype campaign.High sodium taurine whey protein sucralose glycol none of these required for healthy diet.My opinion.Sugar levels too high as well.
Wonderful treats!!!!, yeah, that will obligate you to SURELY ride more!!!! Thx Si!!!!
Thanks. I am totally confident that sis are absolutely awesome products
I’m surprised Simon wasn’t wearing a GCN pinnie. Or is it pinny?
My children think they do but they’re not worth the full price.
Great nutrition for marathon between couch and fridge during winter.
I don’t know why, by Si looks terrified during the entire scene from 7:01 and onwards
I find the Maurten CAF a little thicker than the CAL. Odd to know whether to eat or drink. Definitely more bitter.
These bars are awesome. So quick and easy to make and very delicious. When cut into sixteen pieces, I calculated that each bar contains approximately 240 kcals and costs around 35 pence each (including the cost of cooking them).
I had nutella instead of peanut butter and added blueberries and no sesam seeds. I think I will try different kinds of berry and maybe put some caramel into it as well some time.
I am a bit biased as I am an Ambassador for this company but F2C Nutrition is top notch nutrition in my opinion.
Have a look and use MONTE15 to get a 15% discount. https://f2cnutrition.com/
I am curious if after the kick from the Maurten CAF 100 wears off do you get any crash?
Lol pukka giggles man lovit ���� nice one Ed as it refreshing to make the relevance with running funny as we should be enjoying it regardless of how seriously we take it. All the best love your train of thought & mindset which I can relate ��
Some things aren’t helpful to the average person, but I think CBC should be careful how they promote pure water and ‘real’ food. If you take a look at elite athletes around the world, every single one of them will have a coaching program. Runners wear fancy shoes because they work, and nutrition plans are often part of their regimen. I’m not saying that anyone should use $500 shoes, but better shoes aren’t a bad thing. For example, when Nike tried to break the 2 hour marathon, they perfected every single advantage. That included pacers, a time in front of them, strict diets, and the best shoes they could possibly make.
Also, the studies that were shown were not very scientific. A better method would have been to use a blind study of three groups of people. The first would be a control group, who get nothing. The second would drink Gatorade or similar, and the third would have plain water. Other than that, your videos show well how much of these products we need, so thank you.
Watching the part about the ingredients made me hungry. I had to pause the video and go get a bowl of CoCo Pebbles.
I do always use SIS electrolyte version for hydration and work for me. I will buy the regular maurten for my goal race and test it a little bit.
Coach Butch Mcadams, on Wol radio in the DC area expressed a preference of water to any health beverage.
4:31 Wrong. Most people burn 0 calories in a ride per day. She burns 4000 calories per day just from her bike ride. She would also burn 1500 by doing nothing, so that’s a total of 5500. That’s way more than 2 time what a person burns daily.
The usual onslaught of techno hip hop has been replaced with acoustic guitar. It made me chuckle.
Really helpful! What would be the recommended portion for a training session?
This was good. I do enjoy a good factory tour now and then. The QC part was more interesting than I would have expected. I also appreciate the”Paid promotion “ tag. That makes a world of difference to me.
Spring Energy and Unived gels are coming with me on my marathon this weekend.
Jesus fekin christ does she ever stop talking?!?!?! Just get on with it ffs!!!
Useless recipe. Couldnt think of anything worse to take on a ride, the bloody mess they would make on a ride getting them out your jersey pocket. Feck that.
Stick to bars.
Ed, it was you without glasses and different clothes ›your welcome>
I’m in Australia (somewhere very warm), so I’ll be making these today to take on bike rides with me:)
Accidentally discovered ‘flap-fudge’. It’s like flapjack and Scottish tablet had a love child together.
225g coconut sugar not ordinary sugar as it won’t go as fudgy
225g butter, trex or coconut oil (not spreadable butter or a non-dairy margarine)
275g oats
75g golden syrup
Handful raisins (optional)
Dash of cinnamon
1. Melt the sugar, oil/butter and golden syrup in a pan on low heat.
2. Stir the oats and raisins (if using) into the melted wet ingredients.
3. Spread in a large, high sided, pre-greased baking tray
4. Bake in a pre-heated oven until golden-brown on top (about 20 minutes in my fan-assisted oven)
5. Take the tray out and allow it to cool. When it’s semi-hard, mark out 16 flapfudge pieces so that when it cools completely you can cut them out it hardens quite a lot more than with ordinary sugar
6. Let the flapfudge cool, then cut it into squares.
One square has 270 calories (27g of carbs) but only about 2g of protein per piece. It’s only got a glycemic index of 34, which means a steady release of carbs over a long bike ride, and a significant amount of fat too, so you’re covering low and high intensity training over the course of the ride with no spikes or crashes. Pairs up very well with coffee pre-cycling to deliver a nice kick of energy and oomph. Finally, to hydrate on rides I just use diluting ribena blackcurrant (not the low sugar version the full one) diluted with water, but am going to try switching the water for smart water as it has electrolytes. Enjoy!
You guys are making it way harder than need be. Mix it in the same order, cold in a large mixing bowl, with a wooden spoon. Heating up all the liquid doesn’t help anything, and trying to mix all those ingredients (properly) in a pan is next to impossible.
Hoping to see more homemade fuel recipes! For the future, could you put the ingredients list/instructions in the description box? It is sometimes easier than stopping and pausing the video. Thanks! These look great and I love how customizable they are.
I made these yesterday and they came out rather well. Just some observations: I added less oil (around half a cup), I substituted golden syrup for honey. Mixing works your arms out very well! I then filled a tin with the mixture to a depth of 1.5cm. The point about pressing the mixture down with a fork is very important! Take your time on this step. With regards to oven time, I’d go for closer to 10 minutes rather than close to 15 minutes as you still want them coming out moist and not too hard.
Drink some Yerba mate before a game or practice. See how that works
Let’s get this gent more subs! Loving the content and how you are bringing it!!!!!
