I used the Phoenix bars throughout my most recent MDS challenge an found them excellent especially the sated caramel an chocolate as weren’t as dry to consume great fuel source eliminating any upset stomach issues you can get from expedition meals

I bought phoenix bars for the marathon des sables and they worked well for me. I particularly liked the cherry bakewell flavour

I found Phoenix Bars whilst looking for high calorie bars for the Marathon Des Sables. These bars provided me with the tasty, high-calorie, compact nutrition I needed to fuel my race and I would be keen to use them for future ultramarathons.

I used Phoenix Bars during the 6 stages of the Legendary MdS in April 2026. I found them easy to digest in small bites whilst on the move in the heat. Loved the chocolate flavour. I needed to keep them in a separate plastic bag due to their crumbly nature. I didn't want to lose any precious KCals to the desert!

Great to get a good amount of carbs in without feeling like you are eating too much. Perfect for a pre-race carb load

After reading positive reviews during my prep for MDS legendary, reached out to James. Decided to take them for my adventure and ended up eating them for every breakfast, lunch and even as additional snack on the 100k long stage after 80k to manage last 20k. Easy to digest on the go, by taking a bite + sip of water having security of getting more than 525kcal into your tired body. Saved my race and managed to finish 135 (#9 in my age group).

Tasty, good performance and very compact

Bars were great! I used it at Marathon des Sables and it were a huge help in getting calories in, especially in the last two days in which I had enough of other type of food, P. Bars helped in getting cal in small bites. I will definitely use it again in multi day activities.

Used the phoenix bars as part of the marathon de sables this year as a breakfast option and they were absolutely brilliant.
Vanilla, apple and cinnamon, salted caramel and chocolate all went down a treat. The ideal product for endurance sports and a filling meal on the go!!

Using these as part of my quick and easy breakfast or pre-race meal 2 hours before races. Love them.

I recently walked the coast to coast - 190 miles with a 16Kg pack. One item in my 'Emergency' bag was a Phoenix bar and plenty more than that were eaten on the trip!

Easy to eat, easy on the stomach when running and plenty of calories to keep ya going

I have been using Phoenix Bars for a few years to fuel my ultra cycling races and i have been really enjoying them. I have to say, the improvement on the original batch was really noticeable. I had a vanilla and a chocolate bar, and the texture and taste were spot on - I wolfed them both down. Superb product you have now - well done! I'll be re-ordering when I next have an event coming up.

Great tasting bars, fulfilled the requirements that we need and the taste is awesome!

I like that Phoenix Bars pack a lot of calories in such a small bar - it makes it easier to eat during ultra marathons. I also enjoy that they are tasty without being overpowering. I bought them for training for a 200-mile race and I have really enjoyed them.

I bought Phoenix Bars because I was looking for compact, easy to digest, long-shelf-life nutrition to use for hill walking and mountaineering and they definitely do a great job.

I used Phoenix aBars for the Brecon to Cardiff ultra marathon and they worked really well. I have another ultra in March so I am planning on re-ordering for that race.

Different textures and tastes which have all been easy on the stomach post and during the run. Subtle tastes cherry and salted and apple my favourites as offer differing textures

Bought for my son who is doing the marathon des Sables. He needs high calorie foods. These fit the bill perfectly. Tasty and will not melt in the desert. Customer service excellent too as I made a mistake on my order. James was so helpful and responded promptly.

Make a good porridge 😋..enjoying the new flavours

The bars are very good and high in calories. We are taking part in this years Worlds toughest row 2026, so the high energy bars will be great to add to our snack packs to use throughout the day.

Excellent product, fast & efficient delivery- 5 out of 5 stars of course

I was really impressed with the Phoenix Bars I ordered. I found that they were tasty without being overpowering and I like that they melt in your mouth. I made the apple & cinnamon flavour into a porridge and that was great too. I am keen to use Phoenix Bars again for any of my long days out in the outdoors to maximise my calorie intake.

Loving the new flavours and texture. Helping me to keep going on long training runs ready for events coming up in this summer

Picked up a selection of Bars from the recent running show at the NEC, since then I've have utilized one during a recent 100k Ultra and they are impecable. Packing a solid amount of calories and carbs into such a small product thats easy to carry and eat while out on the trails is brilliant and changed the game for me. also worth a mention that the flavours are great. Will never do an Ultra without them in my kit bag from now on.
