energy bars

Hiker's pocket snacks

Energy bars are portable, calorie-dense snacks designed to provide quick fuel, especially for athletes or busy people.

They typically contain combinations of grains, nuts, dried fruit, and protein sources, compressed into bar form.

The category ranges from glorified candy bars to genuinely nutritious meal replacements: I grabbed an energy bar before my run.
