cocochia_3D_barIn a pinch or for a fast pre-workout option, you can toss in a gluten-free, natural energy bar with as few ingredients as possible. Because I'm tempted to eat several at a time, I rarely do bars, but when I do, my preferred brand is the Cocochia Bar, which includes Organic Chia Seeds, Organic Raw Almond Butter, Organic Agave Syrup, Non-GMO Rice Protein, Organic Cocoa and Organic Chocolate Liquor. Other good brands are Hammer Recovery Bar or Hammer Vegan Recovery Bar (use 15% discount code 80244 at http://www.HammerNutrition.com), LaraBar, Nogii Bar, Quest Bar, Zing Bar or HeathWarrior Bar. On higher calorie/higher volume days, or for something like a long bike ride, the calorie-packed BonkBreaker bar brand is also a good option.
