Convenient carbohydrate-packed products are known to come in rather unique formats, including the traditional gel in a pocket-sized squeeze pouch for you to crack open, apply some pressure, and soak up the fast-acting sources of carbs. While it’s not common for supplement companies here in the US to have that sort of thing in their arsenal, it is in Europe. XXL Nutrition is no stranger to convenient carb-fueling products, and this week it has something entirely new in the world with Energy Nougat.
XXL Nutrition’s Energy Nougat is not a squeeze gel, not even close; Energy Nougat, as per the name, is a nougat-style snack bar that aims to provide the feel and flavor of the classic treat but with a bit more thought put into its ingredients. The retailer and brand, XXL, uses sugar, glucose, fructose, and some almonds in Energy Nougat, providing a solid 33.2g of carbohydrates in a moderately-sized 40g bar, the majority of that is sugar at 24g, 3.8g of fat, almost no protein at 1.8g, and a calorie count of 178.
Those numbers aren’t anything great if you’re looking for a high protein-to-calorie ratio to keep within your macros or dietary needs, but as mentioned, that is not the purpose of Energy Nougat. XXL Nutrition’s latest innovation is all about making a reliable source of performance-powering carbohydrates convenient and edible. That goal is further highlighted on the packaging of the product by a cyclist climbing a hill, and you can put it to use yourself straight away by grabbing single bars or boxes of 16 direct in your choice of Lemon and Strawberry flavors.
