Why Fastkat bars

FastKat Bars are great for pre-, during-, or post-exercise fueling or an on-the-go snack. The ingredients are simple and easy for your body to digest and convert into energy.

Our story

You have probably tried a variety of energy bars, rice cakes, chews, and gel packets for fuel on a long bike ride, run, hike, etc., like I have. I was always a little (or a lot) let down because I had not found a fuel source that was just right for various reasons. I asked around about what makes the perfect bar, did a little research into energy sources and came up with the following bar requirements:

1. Tasty but mild so that it does not leave a bad taste in your mouth, or re-taste if you burp!

2. Easy to chew, swallow, and does not require a full bottle of water to get down.

3. Easy on the stomach. A bar with too much sugar, fat, protein, or artificial ingredients and flavors can cause GI distress. The bar must have natural ingredients, little to no fructose (glucose is easier to absorb and use for energy production), and free of fake flavors.

4. No dates. Sorry date-lovers, I just don’t like them.

I started experimenting and finally produced a bar that met all of the requirements in my book. After sharing with a few friends, a clever bike shop junkie named Bart came up with a name, and FastKat Bars are available for purchase!
