8 Tasty Bars for Any Occasion

Bars are a tasty and efficient source of fuel while you're being active, but let's face it, many days are also spent in front of a computer screen.

The beloved energy bar! Much has improved since the advent of Nature Valley Bars and PowerBars in the 70's and 80's. But, the general concept of having nutritious food on-the-go has not changed. Bars are a tasty and efficient source of fuel while you're being active, but let's face it, many days are also spent in front of a computer screen.

When your body is physically resting – not engaged in any activity outside of breathing, digesting, or keeping warm – your brain uses 20-25% of the body's overall energy. The fuel of choice for the brain is mainly glucose, and this translates to 350-450 calories per day for the average person. The brain is actually the most energy-intensive organ in your body, and it only accounts for roughly 2% of your body's weight.

Energy bars are a reliable source of fuel during activities – hiking, climbing, biking, you name it – but, our wide range of bars also check a lot of additional boxes. Whether you're optimizing for protein intake, slow burning carbs, glucose replenishment, or fruit & veggies, Gelvio has you covered!
