Chia Charge launches mini flapjack bars

British sports nutrition brand Chia Charge has launched two new mini flapjack products, designed to help athletes refuel, on the go.

A blend of oats, butter, golden syrup, brown sugar, chia seeds, sea salt flakes and rice flour, the Original Mini Chia Charge Flapjack is a compact version of its full sized counterpart.

With no added sugar, the Mini Berry Flapjack combines dates and cranberries with butter, oats, chia seeds, salt flakes and rice flour. Both bars are 30g.

As a source of omega-3 and antioxidants, the balanced carb supply is designed to burn slowly for ongoing energy and endurance which means after the initial benefit of the simple sugars wear off, the complex carbohydrates sustain energy. This eliminates the post consumption crashes triggered by gels, and keeps athletes energised.

“Compact bars that can be consumed on the move were a major request in 2015, and this year we’ve responded by recreating our bestselling flapjacks, in mini bars of easy to use goodness,” says Tim Taylor, founder and creator of Chia Charge.
