Clean Fuel
An alternative to energy bars.
The best tasting energy snack you can get.
Our first flavor: Steel Cut Oatmeal with Apple & Cinnamon. It tastes like homemade apple pie.
After some of the crap I had to eat when racing, this would've been a breath of fresh air! ...there are a lot of sports nutrition brands on the market, but I like that y'all's is a little different.

I like that it...doesn't have a crap ton of preservatives. I always tell my clients, the less processed the better.

Ingredients
Organic steel-cut oatmeal (water, organic steel-cut oats), organic apple juice concentrate, dried apples, organic lemon juice concentrate, organic cinnamon, natural flavors.
Every ingredient has a purpose
Oats are a natural energy food, offering complex carbohydrates, which are slower to digest and offer a steady delivery of energy over a longer period. Apples and apple juice concentrate offer simple carbohydrates, which are quicker to digest, offering a more immediate supply of energy. We add cinnamon for its flavor, and lemon juice concentrate for its flavor and natural preservative qualities.
how to use clean fuel
Before workouts
Enjoy 60-75 mins before exercise.
During workouts
For longer workouts lasting an hour or more, use it to replenish energy. Pair with additional energy source for best results, e.g. sports drink.
After workouts
Enjoy as a snack to help restore glycogen levels
Fueling guide
There are different approaches to fueling for exercise. These guidelines* focus on carbohydrates as the primary fuel source.
Clean Fuel offers a food-based supply of carbohydrates to athletes, and was developed using guidelines from the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND). It is made to deliver a steady supply of energy, without sudden spikes or drops.
Quick reference guide
While every athlete will have different requirements, as a general guide the ACSM and AND recommend:
- 30g to 60g or more of carbohydrates (120-240 calories) per hour of exercise.
- Source has less than 5g of fat, 5g of fiber and 5g of protein.
- Ultra-endurance athletes can require more carbohydrates.
- Easily digested, low-fiber complex carbohydrates in the 60 minutes prior to a workout are best.
Fueling Guidelines
Carbohydrates, in the form of glucose, are the most important fuel source for exercise.
Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in muscle and because glycogen storage is limited, it can be depleted. The depletion can occur in 1-2 hours of intense activity and can significantly compromise endurance exercise performance.
To help maintain a steady supply of energy, the ACSM and AND recommend that athletes consume 30g to 60g or more of carbohydrates (120-240 calories) per hour of exercise. It is suggested the source has less than 5g of fat, 5g of fiber and 5g of protein. Ultra-endurance athletes can require more carbohydrates.
In addition, when pre-fueling for endurance, easily digested, low-fiber complex carbohydrates in the 60 minutes prior to a workout are best. These are general guidelines*.
* These guidelines should be a starting point to find a way to fuel that works best for you. Every athlete will have different nutrition requirements depending on body weight, exercise duration and a number of other factors. Any athlete whose demands go beyond a single serving of Clean Fuel can consume additional quantities, or combine with a carbohydrate drink, using the ACSM/AND guidelines as a reference.
