High 5 Sports Bar - Single
High 5 Sports Bar
The High 5 Sports Bar is a high carbohydrate fruit and cereal energy bar, it's 92% fat free and made from GMO free fruit and grains to provide a balance of simple and complex carbohydrates for fast and sustained energy. The simple carbohydrate is processed more quickly through the digestive system whilst the complex carbohydrate then delivers a more progressive carbohydrate delivery.
Sports bars also contain 18% to 20% fructose. Recent research at Birmingham University, Glasgow University, Herts University and others has established that moderate to high fructose levels can help to increase the rate of carbohydrate delivery to the muscles and as a result lead to improved performance.
Flavours
High 5 Sports Bars are available in Yoghurt Coated Berry or Chocolate Coated Caramel.

Press Reviews
We were suspicious of this very sweet bar – too nice when eating sitting still to be palatable in the heat of training, we thought. We were wrong. It’s very chewy, so a bit hard to get down when you’ve been riding hard, and suffers in the heat of your back pocket, but we loved the hit of sweetness, which was a mood boost as much as anything. Quick carbs from glucose, caramel, sugar and honey got us going instantly but with oats, maltodextrin and rice you should also be kept going for a couple of hours after eating this.

High 5 Sports Bar Caramel - Second to the Powerbar Ride Bar in sweetness, but contains less fat and has a decent mix of carbs. Does melt on hot days though.

This is a very popular bar, with a good caramel flavour and a thin chocolate coating. The packaging is tough enough for abuse but beware of keeping them in a hot car – that chocolate will melt and separate. Having said that, the High Five range does have other non-coated offerings, so if you are a fan then you just need to pick the product to suit your ride.
