Compact Chia Sport Bars

The Chia Charge Food Bar Can be Consumed While Running

— April 19, 2016 — Lifestyle
The Chia Charge sports bars are snacks designed for consumers to eat while running, as an added boost of fuel. The bars are small and compact in shape making them perfect to eat in a few small bites. The added chia seeds ensure the bar's contents are digested quickly through the body to provide energy while moving.

The bars are designed for cyclists, runners and hikers seeking a food supplement that keeps up with their high energy activities. The snack is small and round in size so that it can fit easily into pockets and be eaten while moving. The bars contain similar properties to energy gels, but in a tastier and solid form. The bars contain Chia Charge flapjacks mixed with oats, butter, brown sugar, rice and berries to provide the maximum amount of fuel while on-the-go.
