new-Power-Pancake-baked-energy-bar01

Bar and drink samples around the show is pretty much what keeps us fueled at Interbike (and Eurobike, and Sea Otter), and there’s always new flavors to try from the big boys. Fortunately, there’s usually some treats from new and smaller brands, too, and Phil’s Power Pancake was one of the better ones I found.

It’s basically a muffin top, baked from real ingredients and available in a few flavors. Toast it, nuke it or just warm it in your jersey pocket for a delicious little snack. Chomp on through for plenty more to make you hungry…

All good stuff.

new-clifbar-builders-protein-and-regular-bar-flavors01

Clif’s cornucopia of bar types continues to see new flavors added to the line. For the traditional Clif Bar, there’s Nuts & Seeds and Berry Pomegranate Chia. The standard Builder’s Bar adds Chocolate Hazelnut.

new-clifbar-builders-max-protein-bar-flavors01

Builder’s Max is bigger and gets a new Caramel Peanut flavor.

new-clifbar-kits-organic-fruit-nut-bar-flavors01

Kit’s Organic Fruit & Nut Bars add Dark Chocolate Chili Almond, Dark Chocolate Peanut and Dark Chocolate Walnut.

new-clifbar-mojo-and-luna-flavors01

The Luna line adds Chocolate Cupcake, and the Mojo gets –wait for it– Dark Chocolate Pom Raspberry and Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter. See a trend here? Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate.

new-Powerbar-fruit-and-nuts-flavor-energy-bar01

PowerBar has come up with Fruit & Nut versions of their traditional bar, adding Nutty Berry and PB’n’J.

new-Powerbar-Protein-Plus-bars01

The ProteinPlus bars get new Chocolate Brownie, Peanut Butter Cookie and Salted Caramel flavors.

new-Powerbar-Triple-Threat-protein-energy-bars02

The Triple Threat bars, which are a combo protein and energy bar (think meal replacement), get four new ones: Caramel Apple, Vanilla Caramel Nut, Peanut Butter Caramel and Caramel Nut Brownie. Caramel, Caramel, Caramel, Caramel, Caramel, Caramel!

new-Powerbar-wafer-energy-bars01

The Wafer Bars, which are delicious but absolutely will not fill you up no matter how many you eat, now come in Chocolate Peanut Butter and Berry Yogurt flavors.

new-PRObar-bites-snack-size-bars01

PRO Bar, which I don’t think is capable of making anything I don’t like, now has snack sized Bite bars, coming in Mixed Berry and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip and four other flavors not shown.

new-rap-protein-gummies01

I haven’t tried these yet, but I have a packet sitting at the ready next time I know I’ll finish a ride too far from home to get a timely recovery drink. Packed with 20g of Whey Protein Isolate, the RAP (Rapid Acting Protein) gummies look pretty decent from an ingredients standpoint.

new-rap-protein-gummies02

Nice to see the primary source of protein is Whey Isolate.

new-RIp-van-Wafel-belgian-stroopwafel-01

Rip van Wafels is a newer brand that uses simple syrup in place of Honey Stinger’s bee-based sweetener. They say this makes them taste more like traditional Belgian street waffles (stroopwafel), and they are indeed quite tasty.

new-RIp-van-Wafel-belgian-stroopwafel-02

The ingredients are refreshingly simple, almost all stuff you have at home.

Jelly-Belly-Sport-Beans-new-green-apple-juicy-pear-flavors

Jelly Belly’s Sport Beans add Green Apple and Juicy Pear to their lineup.

new-skratch-labs-matcha-lemons-and-rescue-hydration-mix01

To wash it all down, Skratch Labs has they new Matcha w/ Lemons flavor sports drink. It’s their first with a little caffeine, which comes from the matcha green tea. To the right is their new Rescue Hydration Mix, which is similar to Pedialyte in theory, offering a much higher concentration of electrolytes (750mg sodium, 250mg potassium), but with all natural fruit flavors and nothing artificial. The sugar content is almost as high as the sports drink, and much higher than their daily electrolyte drink. Basically, it’s for when you or your kids are really dehydrated. In Vegas, that came in quite handy.

All designed to part you with your money, and none of it as good for you as real foods.

Cliff are great. All their product line is vegan.

Torq also make all their bars and gels vegan.

I love a Clif bar for my first break on a longer ride. After that, it’s dates, along with my own homemade goo: sorghum syrup, maybe diluted a little with water, lots of unsweetened cocoa powder (unless you like sorghum), a little lemon and a little salt; the sorghum is loaded with sugar, and has some minerals you need, like potassium, along with a little protein. I carry it in a GoToob. Cheaper than the chemistry-class stuff, and when you make it yourself, you know exactly what’s in it. This is a good alternative for those of us who are not “training”, just out riding to enjoy the ride and the outdoors, but who still regularly do 40–50–60 miles.
