Natural Energy Cereal Bar by POWERBAR is a crunchy whole-grain oat bar with added magnesium. This box holds 24 bars of 40 g, and the shop offers it in strawberry, raspberry and cocoa flavours.
The maker positions it as a carbohydrate snack for training days, with set timings before and during exercise.
The recipe changes with the flavour. For the strawberry version, the shop's page lists whole grain oats (34%) and whole grain crisps (11%) as the base, with wheat, rice and malt flours, candied berries, strawberries and soya beans. Magnesium citrate provides the 72 mg of magnesium in each bar, and magnesium contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
The bar is eaten straight from the wrapper; the maker recommends a little water with it during exercise.
How much magnesium is in one bar?
72 mg, which is 19% of the nutrient reference value.
How many bars a day does the maker suggest?
One to three, for example one 30–60 minutes before exercise and one every 40–60 minutes during it.
Are the bars made with vegan ingredients?
Yes – the maker describes the Natural Energy Cereal line as made exclusively with vegan ingredients.
