Bite-sized energy you can dose piece by piece. Fuel that fits your effort, not the other way around.
Energy That Matches Your Effort
Most energy products force you to commit: eat a whole bar, or don't eat at all. XACT Chews throw that out.
With 32 soft, poppable pieces per resealable bag, you grab exactly what you need when you need it. Three pieces for a quick boost. Six for sustained energy. The full bag for an all-day adventure. No wrappers to fumble with mid-effort. No guilt about waste. Just grab, eat, and keep moving. Zero fiddling.
The same great taste and quality as our Fruit Bars.
Same real fruit ingredients. Same soft texture that melts in your mouth. Same fast-acting carbs, but now in a format that lets you fuel smarter by matching your energy needs to your actual effort, not a pre-packaged bar size.
Available in Strawberry, Orange, Apricot, Green Apple, Cherry, and Lemon (Performance with 48mg caffeine per serving), these chews are the format that lets you fuel on your terms.
At XACT, we built Fruit Bars to be the ultimate portable energy—soft, delicious, real fruit. Athletes loved them. But we kept hearing the same feedback: sometimes I don't need a whole bar. Sometimes I want to share. Sometimes I want to dial in my fuelling with more precision.
So we did what XACT does: we took our proven Fruit Bar formula and reimagined it for flexibility.
The insight was simple: fuelling isn't one-size-fits-all.
We built Chews so you could match your fuelling to your actual effort, rather than force your effort to match pre-packaged portions. Three pieces (about 17g carbs) for a quick boost. Six pieces (about 35g carbs) for your hourly target. Or grab a handful and adapt on the fly.
The resealable bag cuts packaging waste compared to individual wrappers. The shareable format builds community. Your training partners can grab from your bag, or you can top up from theirs. And because they're the exact same recipe as Fruit Bars, athletes switching between formats can take it all in stride.
This is energy designed around how athletes actually fuel.
Why melting texture matters.
Most energy chews on the market use gelatin or starch-based binders to hold their shape. These require significant saliva breakdown and chewing effort which is fine if you're standing still, problematic if you're breathing hard at threshold.
XACT Chews are made from a fruit base that breaks down rapidly with saliva, requiring minimal chewing. Yes, they are called the chews....but honestly maybe we should call them the "melts"??
Dosing by effort:
Quick boost: 3–4 pieces (17–23g carbs) before or during shorter efforts
Sustained energy: 6 pieces every 30–45 minutes (about 35g carbs) for moderate-intensity training
High-intensity or longer efforts: 8–12 pieces per hour, or combine with other XACT products (gels, bars) to hit 60–90g carbs/hour
Timing:
Pre-workout: A few pieces 15–30 minutes before to prime your system with quick carbs
Intra-workout: Grab your target amount every 30–45 minutes to maintain steady energy
Post-workout: While not a recovery product, they can bridge the gap to a full meal
No-fuss fueling:
Just grab a few pieces directly from the bag—no unwrapping mid-effort
Melts in your mouth with minimal chewing, so you can keep moving and breathing
Works in all temperatures: won't freeze solid in cold, won't melt in heat
Pair with:
XACT Electrolytes for hydration and electrolyte replenishment (especially in heat or on long efforts)
XACT Endurance Bars for hunger control during long, steady efforts
XACT Fruit Gels for maximum carb density during high-intensity sessions
Shareable fuel: Toss the resealable bag in your group ride kit, drop bag, or aid station supply. Athletes can grab what they need, when they need it—building community fueling.

L’Espagne ce n’est jamais plat. Les montées et les cols se suivent et rapidement sur une sortie de 100km ont atteint plus de 2000m de dénivelé. Mes petites bouchées Energy Chews me donnent ce qu’il faut pour gravir ces montagnes. Et en plus c’est délicieux!
love the minis. run every morning at 545am. pop a chew or 2 to get me threw. use on my after work bike ride, a couple chews to power through. great taste, easy to digest.
the cherry mini chews are a perfect booster of energy between pickleball matches during a tournament . I enjoy these bite size carb boost to keep my mind sharp during long pickleball matches.
Worked like a charm. Used it for a last section of my route, instead of eating half of the bigger bars, or just pushing without refueling. Same taste and texture than their "bigger" version
