All I can say is Phoenix Bars are rocket fuel.

If you’re feeling low on energy and gels and other things just aren’t going in or you can’t drink anymore calories, break out a Phoenix Bar, eat half, then set your watch for 25 minutes, then eat the other half.

I did this at the Tea & Trails ultra and I was like a different person.

I purchased 30 Phoenix Bars to help my hit my 6,000 calories per day target. They worked really well and allowed me to complete my challenge - I particularly enjoy their taste and that they are so easy to digest. I would like to undertake more challenges like this in the future and I would be very keen to use these bars again.

I thought at first the phoenix bar was expensive but would give them a try anyway. However when they arrived they are big bars, so worth the money considering they are at least twice the size of other bars.

Given the size of the bar, you certainly arent going to eat one in one go while on the go. I had mine as a pre event snack. I ate one bar with a cuppa about an hour before a orienteering event (7 hours duration OMM). I found the bar filling but not bloating type feeling. I also found the bar a bit dry so not something I would eat without a drink. I dont recall the taste but if it was horrible I would remember.

All in all I will be buying more of these for pre event snacks. In fact ordering some more after writing this review.

Phoenix Bars helped me complete the Fan Dance - they gave me all the energy I needed and gave me the benefit of knowing I was fuelling myself properly. I am keen to order more of these bars for my rucking activities.

Recently used phoenix bars on a trail marathon training run with massive vertical gain, we were out for 6 hours I took only two of these with me, digest really well, and kept my energy up despite the 25⁰c weather, have already recommended them to my coaches athletes and friends
