Best Snacks for Runners: Real Food, Real Results

If you’re logging miles, you’ve probably seen the wall of processed snacks at every running store. Neon packaging, wild claims, and a laundry list of ingredients you can’t pronounce but do they really help you perform?

The Processed Snack Problem

Many commercial energy bars and gels are high in sugar, artificial flavours, and fillers. While they might give a quick boost, they often lead to crashes, stomach upsets, and don’t deliver on long-lasting fuel.

Why 80Noir Ultra?

Our dark chocolate bars deliver complex carbs, healthy fats, and antioxidants from real ingredients nothing artificial, ever. Flavanols help boost blood flow to working muscles, while magnesium supports energy and recovery. Each bar is gluten-free, coeliac-friendly, and palm oil free, with just enough natural sweetness for a quick pick-me-up.

Practical Meal Ideas for Runners

• Pre-Run: Half a bar of 80Noir Ultra with a banana easy to digest, rich in potassium.
• On the Go: 80Noir Ultra Endurance Bar, homemade oat bites, or dates stuffed with almond butter.
• Post-Run: Recovery smoothie with 80Noir chocolate, spinach, banana, and plant-based protein.
