Homemade energy bundles
The supermarket is full of bars, gels and other power foods for when you are out and about. Can you also make a homemade alternative?
In addition to the completely natural classics such as apples & bananas, well-assorted supermarkets offer a vast selection of bars & co for when you're out and about. It's hard to choose: conventional muesli bar or high-tech power food bar? Lots of protein, little sugar, low fat, no fat, vegan, with sweeteners and extra energy? If you are in the mood for creative, homemade energy sources for your next hiking or biking tour, we have three self-created recipes for you.
