Energy Bars for Your Outdoor Activities

These little bars that do not take up much space and are light to carry will give you that energy that will get you back to your City RV Rental. Below are some energy bars that pack the punch you need.

CLIF Bar

Clif Bar started as a small, family business that’s since grown into a huge company, but one that still stays true to the family-run vibe with a simple mission of providing healthy energy.

The CLIF Bars use whole, organic ingredients aimed at providing athletes with sustained energy. Some flavors taste better than others, but a popular choice is the White Chocolate Macadamia (260 calories with 9 grams of protein). It’s so good you'll have to resist eating it just for a tasty treat.

Justin's Nut Butter

This isn't technically a bar, but it still packs away easily, is super tasty, and provides instant energy. Grab a few of the individual packets, which are perfect on an apple or to slurp down all by itself.

The nut butters are dairy-free, gluten-free, vegan, organic—and the Chocolate Hazelnut flavor (5 grams of protein and 14 grams of the good-for-you fat) basically tastes like Nutella, but is much better for your body.

KIND Bars

Just like the name says, KIND bars are kind to your body by providing all of the nutrients and energy you need. The bars come in seven varieties: omega-3, protein, gluten-free, high fiber, flax, low sugar and antioxidant.

Most bars include nuts, dried fruit, and some sort of grain such as quinoa, millet or oats. All of the flavors contain about 200 calories each.

Honey Stinger Waffles and Bars

This Colorado-based company incorporates honey into all of their products, which include energy bars, protein bars, gels, waffles, chews and kid treats.

For sustained energy, opt for the protein bars or energy bars, or for a quick, lower-calorie energy boost, grab one of their waffles—two thin waffle wafers with honey in between.

The energy bars contain 30 percent honey, 5 grams of protein, 23 vitamins and minerals, and whole grains. Energy bar flavors include Peanut Butter'n Honey, Berry Banana Buzz, Blueberry Buzz, and Rocket Chocolate, and each come in at about 200 calories.

Larabar

Larabar totes their products as "gluten-free energy bars made from minimal ingredients." They live up to their minimal tagline—each bar has no more than nine ingredients! The bars are made up of fruit, nuts and spices, and include flavors such as Carrot Cake, Snickerdoodle, Peanut Butter and Jelly, and Blueberry Muffin. Bars are around 200 calories with 30 grams of carbs.

PROBAR Meal Bar

Not only is this organic bar dense in weight (3 ounces), but it’s also nutrient dense, too, packed with nuts, seeds and fruit. Each bar rounds out near 400 calories, so you really are getting a meal out of a simple bar.
