Very happy with flaming Phoenix, I bought them to help me on my ultra runs & I work as a lorry driver. They also help me stop buying service station food. They are very easy to eat as a bar, no problems with digestion. The range of flavours is excellent. I would buy again.
So pleased to hear you enjoyed your Phoenix Bars, Simon - both for ultra running and for your work! If there's anything I can do to help you - please let me know. James - founder
I bought Phoenix bars as I was doing the West Highland Way in Scotland, and wanted to make sure I was getting in enough calories each day without carrying too much weight.
I found the bars really helpful for this, and were surprisingly easy to eat and not too stodgy.
They helped more than expected, especially as I got ill on day 2 of my hike which really affected my appetite - the bars were a good way to get the calories in even when I was not hungry.
I will certainly be using them again for my hikes in the future, thank you very much.
Impressed with these. Decent on their own for a snack or great when adding to your normal porridge for some extra calories for cold mornings in the mountains!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review, Thomas - I'm really pleased you enjoyed and benefitted from Phoenix Bars and I really appreciate your support! If there's anything I can do to help you in the future - please let me know. Best, James
I used the bars during my ultra and they were great. They taste pleasant, easy to break them into chunks and one bar kept me going for long. I would also like to say that the communication with customer service was exceptional. I will be ordering more bars soon.

I used Phoenix Bars for the Marathon Des Sables and I thought they were brilliant. I've struggled in the past with ultra running nutrition - such as gels - but these bars worked really well for me.
Great nutrition and the new flavours are delicious.
Will buy again.
I used phoenix bars throughout the Marathon des Sables. I found them superb and would highly recommend to anyone doing multi day events or even single day ultra events. The flavours are great and the bars are very easy to consume.
Used Bars on recent 200mile race, massive improvement from the original recipe as I could eat on the go with the extra moisture. Love the new flavours too 👌
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.
