Untapped/Business Insider
- Nutrition bars are packed with all the nutrients you need so you can fuel up on the go without stopping for a full meal.
- The Untapped Maple Waffle is the best energy bar you can buy because it is sensibly portioned, all natural, and so delicious we wanted to eat waffles even when we weren't exercising.
Whether you train at the gym, on the trail, or out on the road you'll need to fuel your workout if you plan to be sweating for more than an hour or so. Even if you only train during your lunch break, it can be hard to balance eating and exercising to make sure you feel fueled up not full up.
Energy and nutrition bars make a great choice for athletes, adventurers, or anyone who can be too busy to sit down and snack. Gone are the days of the putty-like bar that required a significant jaw workout before you could swallow it, today's energy bars use natural ingredients in delicious combinations and deserve a place in every pantry.
We've picked our favorite bars to stuff in our pockets for bike rides and keep handy in our gym bags and glove compartments.
