Three reasons why Neve is the best alternative to energy bars

At Neve, we decided enough was enough. We love our athletes, and we think you deserve something better than what we've always been told to eat. That's why we created a an alternative to energy bars that actually tastes good and fuels you.

Our smoothie pouches are a game-changer for athletes who are looking to diversify their nutrition strategy. We’ve taken the convenience of bars and gels, but added incredible ingredients, the input of a registered dietitian, and put it in a pouch.

Why Neve is a Great Energy Bar Alternative

1. A completely new energy fuel format

As an endurance athlete, I was tired of being told what I should eat. The commercially available options lacked excitement or interest. By default, bars force you to use specific ingredients. Plus, chewing a bar while out of breath is not the most fun experience. 

By thinking outside the box, Neve completely disrupts what athletes can consume, no matter where they are. Neve smoothie pouches are packed with antioxidants and a balance of macro-nutrients, offering sustained fuel. Whether you're skiing, climbing, or just trying to make it through the afternoon slump, Neve is a great energy bar alternative or supplement to your nutrition strategy.

2. Some Pretty Fun Ingredients

Because Neve is not in a bar format, we can leverage nutrient dense ingredients that you wouldn't be able to get in a bar, while remaining low fiber (you know why!). We looked at bar flavors and thought, let's do something completely different than the flavors of traditional energy or protein bars. That's how we came up with Boysenberry Beet and Tart Cherry Cacao. We were super intentional about the ingredients we used. They are there because they are fun, but also because they support you as an athlete.

3. Real Food, No Matter Where You Are

Neve’s smoothie pouches are packed with real fruit. We have flavors including Tart Cherry Cacao and Boysenberry Beet. Whether you're deep in the backcountry, gearing up for a long ride, or just need a quick, nourishing snack at work, Neve makes it easy to fuel with real, plant-based ingredients—no prep required. Our blends are crafted to provide the nutrients your body needs for sustained efforts.

Why We Choose Neve Over Traditional Energy Bars

• Simple Ingredients: No preservatives — just real ingredients that fuel your body.
• Easy to Eat: No more chewing through a lump of mystery ingredients. Neve is easy to eat on-the-go.

Is Neve Right for You?

We are absolutely biased, but we think Neve is an easy swap for that 4 year old energy bar in your desk drawer or in the depths of your pack. We are super bullish on the pouch format for athletes. It's easy, convenient and best of all - resealable, which means you get to fuel on your own terms.
