The problem
Sports fuel shouldn't be a suffer fest.
Sports fuel shouldn't taste gross or feel like a punishment. If we don't enjoy what we're fuelling with, we're less likely to fuel consistently, and consistency matters.
RED-Scue makes carb-first energy bars and breakfast jars from cassava and plantain, designed for before, during and after training, racing and everyday activity.
Where it started
I know what underfuelling can cost.
I didn't realise I was underfuelling when I was competing. I was training hard, doing what I thought I needed to do, and I didn't understand how low carbohydrate availability and low energy availability could affect training, recovery and injury risk. Then I tore my Achilles.
That experience changed how I think about fuelling. RED-Scue was born from wanting food that gives you energy, tastes good, feels satisfying and makes fuelling easier to stick with.
So I went back to the kitchen and started making the fuel I wanted to eat.
REDs & fuelling
REDs × Rescue.
RED-Scue comes from REDs × Rescue, Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport and the idea of rescuing fuelling before underfuelling becomes the thing that stops you doing the sport you love.
Low carbohydrate availability and Low Energy Availability are important parts of the conversation. REDs can happen when energy availability is too low to adequately support training, recovery, everyday life and normal body functions.
Learn about REDsUnder-fuelling can contribute to Low Energy Availability, which is associated with REDs. Awareness and practical fuelling matter.
Energy bars & jars
Something you actually look forward to eating.
Throw a bar in your race bag, take it to the gym, eat it on the bike, have it after a run, or grab it on the way out the door. For those early starts, prep a breakfast jar, grab it and go.

Shop breakfast jarsWhy cassava + plantain
We went back to food.
We wanted to move away from the same old sports-fuel bases. Cassava and plantain give RED-Scue its distinctive foundation and a different way to get carbohydrate into your day. Plant-powered, food-first, made for movement.
- Cassava + plantain the base
- Dates + maple syrup natural sweetness
- Coconut oil texture + richness
- Nut + seed butters depth
- Fruit, spice + botanicals flavour
Fuel without fear
There's so much noise around food and sport.
- Eat less
- Burn more
- Cut carbs
- Prioritise protein
- Train fasted
- Earn your food
We don't believe fuelling your body should come with fear. Carbohydrates are one of the body's key sources of energy, and they matter when you're asking your body to train, race, recover and perform.
That's why RED-Scue is carb-first. Because energy matters.
How to use it
Before. During. After. Anytime.
Early start
Heading out for a run, gym session or early race start. A practical carbohydrate option when you don't fancy a full meal.
Long haul
A longer session, big ride or race day. Something solid and smooth when you want an alternative to gels.
Recovery
Training doesn't finish when you stop your watch. Part of your post-training fuelling alongside the other foods you need.
In between
At work, university, travelling, between meals or on race weekends. Active people need fuel outside race day too.
What's not in it
No unnecessary nasties. No complicated rules.
Just food you can actually look forward to eating.

- No maltodextrin
- No potassium sorbate

From my kitchen
From kitchen idea to race bags, gyms and events.
RED-Scue started small. My kitchen, my recipes, my ingredients, my hands making the bars. Then athletes took them to training, runners took them racing, gyms started stocking them and this little kitchen idea became something much bigger.
Built with athletes. Backed by a community.
From a kitchen idea to fuel being taken to training, races, gyms and events.
More than a brand
We want to build a community.
- A place where talking about fuelling is normal.
- Where carbohydrates aren't automatically labelled bad.
- Where eating enough isn't something to feel guilty about.
- Where athletes can ask questions without judgement.
- Where food can be enjoyable.
- Where performance and wellbeing don't have to be enemies.
