Racefood Far Bar

Far Bar: Real Food Energy Bar, 136 Calories, R18

Not every athlete wants to eat a gel on every long run. Sometimes you want something that resembles food. Far Bar is a real food energy bar made from dates, butter, dried fruit, and egg yolk powder. Each 30g bar delivers 136 calories with an intermediate GI release: not instant, not slow. Made in South Africa at R18.

Three flavours: Salted Apricot, Date and Cranberry, and Banana Caramel. Contains gluten (wheat), dairy (butter), egg, and sulphite. If any of those are a problem, this is not your bar.

What's in it

• 136 calories per 30g bar
• Intermediate GI: balanced fast and slower-release carbohydrates

Who it's for

Trail runners, cyclists, and triathletes who want real food energy at a practical price and can tolerate gluten and dairy. Works well during lower-intensity sections of long efforts when more synthetic alternatives start to feel difficult.
