Bonk Breaker Bars are one of our best-selling products. That's because they use high-quality ingredients and taste great. Over time, our athletes consistently choose their favorite products based on what tastes great and works for them. During long stages of the Tour de France, riders can't afford to eat anything but the best. That's why they choose products like Bonk Breaker Bars. With a short ingredient list and no preservatives, these bars will digest easily without upsetting your stomach.

Gluten-free and dairy-free, Bonk Breaker Bars are made with non-GMO, real food ingredients like peanuts, cashews, gluten-free oats, honey, coconut, and flaxseed meal. They have the right balance of carbohydrate, protein, and fat to give your body lasting energy. Bonk Breakers come in several naturally delicious flavors.  Peanut Butter Banana is mind blowing, but if you're not a banana fan, salted caramel is one of our best sellers.

Clif Bloks were a game changer when they were announced in 2005. At the time, there were very few “energy chews” on the market, and although you could stop by the convenience store for some gummy worms, Bloks upped the game by adding essential electrolytes to their gummies.

One serving is three blocks, but we believe in rationing them. During your workout consume 1 block at a time every 10-15 minutes, or 2 at a time every 30 minutes. Eating less than 3 blocks at a time is a more manageable amount to stomach when you’re exercising and won’t overload your gut with sugar nor require too much fluid to digest. The key is once you begin eating blocks, or any fast-acting energy, you need to continue consuming them throughout your workout. You can also use these bloks immediately before an intense 1-hour workout or when you’re headed to the gym. They’re a great way to keep your energy level up after a long day in the office.

 This was one of our first recovery mixes at The Feed....it tastes great and it works. We use Fluid Recovery after any medium-high intensity workout lasting longer than 90 minutes. If you're workout is shorter, but very intense (45-60 minutes), this product also works. For intense workouts less than 60 minutes in duration, watch those calories and consider this as a meal replacement. The truth about recovery for endurance sports is that you need the right mix of fast acting carbohydrate + protein. Fluid has great ratios, along with glutamine an amino acid that prevents muscle breakdown.

Gluten-free, lactose-free and made from all natural ingredients, the Fluid Recovery Single provides glutamine, electrolytes, and vitamin c, in its  4 to 1 carb/protein blend. This recovery focuses on carb-based recovery to restore muscle glycogen, buffer cramping and break down lactic acid. Mix up a recovery shake or drop a packet of this into your smoothie within 30 minutes after your next workout to boost your glycogen synthesis and minimize your recovery time.

Recovery was the first product offered by Fluid, and they have perfected it and its flavors. Our favorite, the Chocolate Wave contains Dutch processed cocoa, making the mix taste like a delicious glass of chocolate milk.

We love to mix this up in a blender bottle after an intense cardio or endurance session. Mixes easy, tastes great, and gives muscles exactly what they need to perform the following day. 

Gu Energy Gels have been a staple of fueling for endurance sports for the past 20 years. Created for daily training and competition, GU Energy Gel packs energy-dense calories in a portable packet to help sustain energy demands of any duration or activity. The 100-calorie packet contains carbohydrates (maltodextrin and fructose) that use non-competing pathways to help maximize carbohydrate absorption while diminishing stomach distress. Sodium, the primary electrolyte lost in sweat, aids in hydration by maintaining water balance. The branched-chain amino acids (leucine, valine, isoleucine) may reduce mental fatigue and decrease muscle damage. It is important to remember to always drink water when taking these gels, since water is used in the digestion process. Also, if you're using the caffeinated gels like Gu Espresso Love make sure you use them when you really need the added energy. We recommend before an intense workout, or at the end of a long workout when you need a boost the most.

Some of the Gu flavors have more caffeine than others. Caramel Macchiato, Espresso Love, and Jet Blackberry all have 40mg caffeine, while all other flavors marked with caffeine have 20mg. Peanut Butter, Strawberry Banana, Lemon Sublime, and Big Apple are the only flavors without any caffeine.

The Feed’s Fave: Vanilla Bean

How We Use It

Towards the end of long efforts or during short intense efforts. One gel will get you 25 to 30 minutes of quick energy. Consume with at least 8oz of water.

The Honey Stinger Energy Chews are one of our favorite chews. We love how they don't stick to our teeth. They're smaller than other chews, and since they are made with  naturally occurring fiber and protein derived from 100% organic tapioca syrup and honey, they are very easy to digest.

The flavor profiles are very natural - and we can promise that what their called is what you get. For example the cola flavor really tastes like cola. Honey Stinger Energy Chews are also USDA organic, gluten-free, dairy-free and contain no GMOs.

Feed's Fave: Pink Lemonade

Towards the end of long efforts or during short intense efforts. Two chews will get you 25 to 30 minutes of quick energy. Consume with at least 8oz of water.

Honey Stinger Gluten Free Waffles have become a staff favorite here at The Feed. These waffles have been great for years, but with the addition of gluten-free options, Honey Stinger has also made the flavors and texture delicious! The inspiration for Honey Stinger Gluten Free Waffles was imported from Belgium where dutch riders often ate these syrupy, chewy waffles on long training rides...commonly known as stroopwafels. Honey Stinger decided to bring the concept to American athletes, and their iconic waffle was born. Delicious wild honey sandwiched between two thin, crispy waffle wafers is the perfect treat. They are certified USDA Organic and come in a convenient single-serve package. We often turn to these waffles when we need something lighter and a little easier to digest compared to an energy bar.

The waffles come in 5 fun flavors:  Salted Caramel, Cinnamon, Chocolate Mint, Vanilla Chocolate and Wildflower Honey!

The Feed’s Fave: Organic Vanilla & Chocolate

How We Use It

Here at The Feed, we enjoy the Honey Stinger gluten free waffles as an ideal pre-workout snack, providing ample amounts of energy and fuel without the gluten! These waffles also come in handy through out the day when you are hit with a mid-day snack attack, due to there delicious sweet taste they never fail to leave you feeling satisfied and ready to go!

Picky Bar was born with the desire to break-away from the traditional energy bar and transition to something more nutritious and wholesome.  Jesse, Lauren and Steph, owners and pro athletes, each had very specific needs that weren’t met by another bar on the market… until now. They all loved the real food bars that were out there, but felt like athletes needed a real food bar that also considered fueling for top performance. That's not to say that taste was sacrificed...these bars taste great. What's different about Picky Bars are the ingredients, as well as the 4:1 balance of carbs to protein in every bar. They're also packaged in convenient 200 calorie servings (per bar), which make building fueling strategies very easy.

We love that Picky Bar chooses to use high quality ingredients, and that's definitely the case with Picky Bars. The bars are built with stuff you already know: agave, dates, blueberries, cinnamon, natural almond butter, sea salt, sunflower seeds and more. They also come in 6 really good flavors: All-in Almond, Blueberry Boomdizzle, Cookie Doughpness, Lauren's Mega-Nuts, Need for Seed, and Smooth Caffeinator. We're going to rely on Picky Bars A LOT this summer, and we'd recommend that you give them a try as well. They're built for great taste AND performance, two things that are hard to combine in such a delicious 200 calorie pack.

UnTapped pure maple syrup is 100% pure Vermont Maple syrup, plain and simple. Seriously, there are literally no other ingredients in here. UnTapped is made from Slopeside Syrup, a family-run company out of Richmond, Vermont.  The Cochrans, makers of Slopeside and all former ski racers, teamed up with professional cyclist, Ted King, to offer something unique to the sports nutrition world.  Who would have thought that the delicious condiment that you lather on your pancakes and waffles could be a viable form of energy for endurance sports?  They did!  And that new coffee flavored syrup is amazing!!!

UnTapped is made by boiling maple sap directly from the tree and putting it straight into the package.  Being that it is unprocessed, you get all the natural benefits such as potassium, manganese, iron, calcium, and zinc as well as amino acids and antioxidants.
