energy bar

Compact workout snack

An energy bar is a snack food designed to provide quick, portable nutrition, typically eaten before or during physical activity.

These bars usually contain a concentrated mix of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, often supplemented with vitamins and marketed to athletes or busy people who need sustained energy.

I grabbed an energy bar before my morning run.

The category ranges from heavily processed candy-like products to more wholesome versions made primarily from nuts and dried fruit.
