In order to sustain your energy for long workouts, you need to refuel with some kind of sporty energy product. Sport nutrition products are manufactured in so many forms these days — sport drinks, powders, energy bars, goos, and chews — so how do you know which one is right for you? Hopefully I can ease your confusion starting with sport drinks, powders, and tablets.
How Often Do You Eat Energy Bars?
I like to have a few energy bars on hand, tucked away in my desk drawer or the glove box in my car, in case hunger hits unexpectedly. They tend to be about 200 calories, so they make a perfect snack and are much better for you than candy bars, but I don't eat them regularly.
If I am running after work and have no late afternoon snack, I will crack open an energy bar.

The ongoing peanut butter recall has claimed some of my go-to snack bars, but the good news is I've been inspired to get more creative in my kitchen. This recipe for homemade energy bars is truly a cinch and allows you to be as flexible as possible with whatever you have in your cabinets.

Some Peanut Butter-Based Bars Are Safe, Others Are Not
When it comes to pre-workout snacking, energy bars are up there on my list of favorite quick fixes that get me through my workout. After hearing that some bars have been recalled because they could be tainted with salmonella, I was paranoid to touch any of the bars I had previously purchased.
