Fast
Fuel ®
A yummy alternative to GORP

 Recently
I tested a new endurance bar that recently hit the Canadian marketplace.
Fast Fuel ®
and Fun Fuel ®
are
products of Natural Emphasis Ltd., based in Toronto, Ontario.
The
bars come in two flavors, Chocolate Crunch and Chocolate Espresso.
The company is also releasing a new flavor, Apple Caramel. There
are two different bar sizes. The Fast Fuel ®
Bars
are 65g (2.3 oz) and the Fun Fuel bars are 15 g. There are also
organic varieties available.
This Action
Snack™ is chock full of nuts and seeds. Ingredients include
sunflower seeds, peanuts, almonds, sesame seeds and hempseeds.
Hemp seeds are a good source of EFA's (essential fatty acids)
and protein. The Fast Fuel bars even have pure vanilla - no imitation
flavorings in here!
The Fun Fuel
® bars
are handy because of their small size. Often I only eat part of
a standard bar and the leftovers end up somewhere at the bottom
of my backpack. With Fun Fuel ®
this
doesn't happen because they are just the right size. I even keep
a few in my survival kit.
Crunchy, chewy,
chocolatey, yummy! What more can you ask for? We have one tester
who is not a fan of energy bars, and she even liked these.
