EMPOWERING ALL ATHLETES TO FUEL WITHOUT FEAR.

RED-Scue Bars vs Breakfast Jars: Which One Is For You?

Two products.

Both built around cassava and plantain.

But they have different jobs.

So if you're standing there wondering:

“Which RED-Scue do I actually need?”

Here's the simple answer.

Bars = portable sports fuel

Our 70g bars are designed to be your grab-and-go fuel.

They're carb-first, soft and smooth, with around 38g of carbohydrate per bar.

They're designed for the moments when you need practical fuel without having to prepare a meal.

Before training

Heading out for a run?

Gym session?

Bike ride?

Race?

A bar can give you a convenient source of carbohydrate beforehand.

During longer sessions

If you're doing a longer endurance session or race and you've practised eating solid food while moving, a RED-Scue bar can be another option alongside your overall fuelling strategy.

After training

A bar can also be useful when you're finished but your proper meal is still a little way away.

Jars = breakfast fuel

The breakfast jars are a different beast.

They're designed to be a more substantial breakfast option, with more protein than our bars alongside carbohydrate.

They're particularly useful when breakfast needs to be practical.

Think:

4am race mornings.

Camping.

Overnight races.

Two-day events.

Travel.

International races.

Mornings when cooking feels like far too much effort.

No kettle. No fridge. No drama.

One of the reasons we made them was because the usual early-morning options can be awkward.

Overnight oats?

Need preparation.

Porridge pot?

Need a kettle.

Banana?

Great, but sometimes you want something more substantial.

We wanted:

Prep it. Grab it. Eat it.

Simple.

So which should you buy?

Choose the bars if:

You want portable training fuel.

You want a solid alternative to gels.

You want something for your kit bag.

You want fuel before, during or after training.

Choose the jars if:

You want a proper breakfast option.

You're racing early.

You're travelling.

You're camping.

You need something with more protein than the bars.

You don't want to rely on a kettle or fridge.

Or get both

Honestly?

That's what they're designed for.

Jar for breakfast.

Bar for the training bag.

Different jobs.

Same philosophy.

Plant-powered.

Food-first.

Practical.

And, most importantly:

something you actually want to eat.
