Energy gels and chews are a convenient choice, but sometimes you want something more substantial – and satisfying. These energy bars and balls are quick to make, really delicious, and offer a decent amount of energising carbs.

Honey bars

Honey provides simple sugars (fructose and glucose), which are quickly absorbed and offer immediate energy.
