Test: Energy bars and gels are available in all variations in every supermarket. But if you are looking for products that, among other things, consist of 100% natural ingredients, you will have to search a little longer. We found what we were looking for at MuleBar.
COMPANY PHILOSOPHY MULEBAR
In 2002, MuleBar was founded by two adventurers after failing to climb the 6962m high Aconcagua in the Andes due to food problems. Since then, the goal has primarily been to offer natural, digestible and ethically justifiable products for sports and everyday life.
FAIR TRADE - ORGANIC CULTIVATION - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
We decided on the 40g energy bars in 8 different flavors and tried them for you. Half of the bars have either the Fairtrade International or the agriculture biologique label, which are awarded for fair trade or organic cultivation. All bars are Vegetarian Society certified, which will make the vegetarians among you happy. In addition, MuleBar is a member of "1% for the Planet", which means that 1% of sales goes to environmental protection. In this case, the money goes to non-profit organizations that work to protect the Alps. By the way, the bars are made in Great Britain.
BON APPETIT
Our tested bars all taste very natural and delicious. The consistency is pleasant and you don't have to empty your entire water supply to be able to eat the bar. The 40g bars are ideal as a snack and easily digestible. The packaging is easy to open and there is little risk of tearing off part of the packaging and losing it while driving. And should that happen, according to the manufacturer, it is compostable, which makes the mishap a little more bearable. MuleBar recommends one bar 60 minutes before starting and then 1-2 bars per hour for maximum effect and energy delivery. 20 minutes after exercising you should use the ReFuel bar. Depending on the variant, the bars contain an average of approx. 600kJ calorific value, 150 calories as well as 5g fat and 25g carbohydrates. However, a balanced meal after exercise should not be forgotten.
