I used Phoenix Bars in conjunction with Tailwinds Powders during Race Around Rwanda 2026. They where great, nice size to pack and did not melt into a mess. Really useful as an option for breakfast when you want to get trucking early in the morning. But also a good chunk of calories for whenever your engine starts to splutter a bit. Over all a great product. I will be buying more for future events.

I ordered Phoenix Bars at the Marathon Des Sables expo and I really enjoyed them during Ultra 4 Charity's Tunisia multi-day race. I particularly like that you can mix Phoenix Bars with water to make a nutritious porridge - which I plan on doing for the MDS.

I took Phoenix Bars with me on Mt Teide and during my Aconcagua expedition. On Mt Teide, I was feeling quite tired and my legs were heavy about 400 metres before the summit. I had around a quarter of a Phoenix Bar and it was game-changing for me. I felt charged again and was able to reach the summit. I found a small amount of the bar made a big difference. The bar tasted really nice and was easy to eat on the trail. On Aconcagua, I went up to 4,385 metres but made a huge mistake of sending my Phoenix Bars ahead to base camp, so I didn’t have access to them for several days. In future climbs, I’ll be keeping them with me in my day hiking pack.

Flaming Phoenix Bars featured as a star in my food supply for my recent South Pole expedition! Easy to eat, even at -45c. Apple and cinnamon was a particular standout.

I got the short term bundle because I wanted to try something new on the hills. What ended up a very wet and windy (-11C windchill) wander, I may have been wet but I wasn't hungry, or tired. Managed to go through 2 (or 3) bars on the hills including 1 before we set off, and 1 after we finished. I didn't find them dry, although I did drink 3.5l of water on the day. These definitely seem to do the job and are a good balance of size, calorie and flavour. Salted caramel was my favourite and I think it had actual salt flakes in.
