Energy Raw Bars: chocolate almond hazelnut
Guarana is one of nature's strongest stimulants! With an average of 4.7% caffeine, guarana seeds are 2-3 times stronger than coffee beans!
We all know the effects of caffeine: it keeps you awake and alert, and gives you energy and a sense of well-being. Due to the high fiber content and the tannins that the caffeine in guarana binds to, this effect is constant and long-lasting. In effect,you don't get an energy peak or crash like you get with coffee, energy drinks or other artificial caffeine sources.
Finally, guarana is rich in antioxidants - protectors of the body's cells. Just like cocoa and green tea, guarana also contains theophylline (beneficial for lung and heart function) and theobromine – a kind of caffeine light.
Taurine is an amino acid found in the brain, muscles, and heart, among other places. It plays a role in signal transduction, calcium metabolism, and protection against oxidative stress.
Studies show that taurine, combined with caffeine, can support physical and mental performance during intense exercise. Where guarana wakes you up and makes you alert, taurine helps your nervous system and muscles cope with that extra stimulation – perfect if you still have to push yourself in the gym after a day at work.
Magnesium is involved in over 300 processes in our body. For example, this mineral is needed in our energy metabolism (converting nutrients into energy), and contributes to a healthy electrolyte balance, muscle function and protein synthesis. Magnesium also helps deal with stress and tension and reduces fatigue and exhaustion.
It is therefore not surprising that our body uses a lot of magnesium. Especially with an active lifestyle, busy work days and during exercise, your magnesium requirements increase drastically. That’s exactly what this Energy Raw Bar was developed for – and why we added extra magnesium: 75 mg elemental magnesium from 475 mg seawater extract.
With their caramel flavor and soft, meaty texture, our Dalia Sukkaray dates are perfect for making raw bars.
In addition, dates are rich in fiber and the minerals potassium, calcium, magnesium, and iron. They even contain some protein and healthy fats. Dates are therefore a much more complete sweetener than natural alternatives such as honey and maple syrup.

Oats are an essential ingredient for power nutrition. They are full of complex ("slow") carbohydrates and contain 14% protein and 11% fiber. In effect, they are digested slowly, keeping you satiated and releasing energy over a long period of time.

Together, almonds and hazelnuts provide 19% protein, healthy fats and almost all B-vitamins (important for energy production and oxygen transport)!
By roasting the nuts in their own fat, this bar gets a deliciously smooth texture.

In terms of taste, adding chocolate to almond hazelnut spread is of course a no-brainer .
In addition, with 80% dark chocolate you have a high cocoa content. Cocoa is full of antioxidants, is rich in protein and contains a lot of healthy fats that give chocolate that delicious creamy flavor.

Ceylon Cinnamon is the only real cinnamon. It is full of antioxidants and also has a stabilizing effect on blood sugar leves. This means it reduces blood sugar peaks and increases insulin sensitivity. In effect, the carbohydrates that you eat are converted into gradual and long-lasting energy.

Celtic sea salt is the primordial mineral supplement. In addition to sodium (the mineral with the "salty taste"), it contains about 70 other minerals, including all electrolytes.
As a result, Celtic sea salt helps your body to stay hydrated. Also, due to its more complex flavor compared to regular sea salt, you need less of it to flavor your food.

We recommend eating no more than 2 Energy bars per day, for a maximum of 5 days per week.*
Our Guaraná contains an average of 3.9% caffeine, varying from harvest to harvest. This means there's an average of 39 mg of caffeine in one bar – comparable to one cup of black tea. For healthy
Doses of up to 400 mg of caffeine per day have been tested safe for adults. Note that caffeine sensitivity is highly individual. Don't eat the Energy Bars too late in the day to avoid disrupting your sleep.
Store the bars in a cool, dry and dark place (e.g. in a cold cupboard or drawer), than there is little that can go bad.
The product has a best before date, 1 year after production date. This is for our quality control. After this date, use your nose and eyes to determine if the bar is still edible.
The science behind
FUNCTION ENERGY
Our Energy formula starts with guarana , a small Amazonian berry with a big impact. It naturally provides caffeine, theobromine, and antioxidants . Together, these provide a clear , focused form of energy .
Research shows that guarana can support concentration , reaction time , and mental alertness —especially during tasks where you need to stay sharp and agile. Because the caffeine is in a plant matrix , the energy boost is often experienced as longer-lasting and less "spiky" than a strong coffee or energy shot.
The science behind
Taurine & Magnesium
Taurine is the second link in our Energy formula. This amino acid occurs naturally in the brain, muscles, and heart, where it helps with signal transmission and cell balance. Studies show that taurine , combined with caffeine, can support physical and mental performance during intense exercise . While guarana wakes you up and makes you alert , taurine helps your nervous system and muscles cope with that extra stimulation —ideal if you still want to push yourself in the gym after a day at work.
Magnesium completes the picture. It's an essential mineral that plays a role in energy metabolism and muscle and nervous system function. We use magnesium from seawater extract : it dissolves easily , provides natural electrolytes , and thus supports your mineral and fluid balance , especially when you sweat due to exercise or stress. Magnesium is also involved in signal transmission in the nerves and intestines , which helps keep your system calmer and more balanced .
ENERGY COMPLETE
Together, guarana, taurine, and magnesium form a balanced energy stack. Guarana supports your mental sharpness, taurine helps your body handle that extra drive, and magnesium supports energy production, muscle function, and electrolyte balance. This means you don't get a fleeting caffeine spike, but a functional form of energy for when you want to perform both at the office and in the gym .
