Riders who want a proper snack after a long or hard ride, and something more filling than a gel once they stop.
Styrkr BAR+ is the brand's recovery bar: a soft, chewy puffed rice bar with about 45 g of carbohydrate and 15 g of protein, the 3:1 ratio Styrkr aims for after exercise. The Sea Salted Caramel flavour uses a vegan caramel and a little sea salt.
Each 74 g bar has 282 kcal, is 100% vegan and gluten free, and is handmade in the UK. It contains soya and sulphites and is made in a facility that handles egg, milk, nuts, peanuts, sesame and soy, so check the ingredients if you have allergies.

Keep one in the bag
