Reliable energy meets real fruit sweetness in a soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture. Crafted like French confiserie, these bars offer a delicious boost for training, racing, or outdoor adventures.
Energy that performs, delights the palate, and fits seamlessly into every adventure.
That's what XACT Fruit Bars bring to the table.
Crafted with the same care and expertise as high-end French confiserie pâte de fruits, these bars combine the natural sweetness of real fruit with a soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture that feels like a treat in every bite.
Fuel That Works
Each bar is packed with 25g of easy-to-digest carbs from real fruit, delivering quick energy exactly when you need it. It absorbs cleanly, fuels smoothly, and won't sit heavy in your stomach during intense effort.
And no matter the weather, these bars perform. They won't freeze in the cold, tested to stay perfectly soft and pliable down to -40°C.
Packed with Flavor
Think of these as tiny bites of happiness. The vibrant sweetness of real fruit combines with a soft, tender texture that melts in your mouth, even during the toughest conditions. Eight distinct flavours; Apricot, Strawberry, Orange, Maple, Blackcurrant, Lemon, Cherry, Green Apple—each one a moment of genuine pleasure mid-effort.
Adventure-Ready
Compact, lightweight, and mess-free. Unlike gels, these bars won't spill, leak, or ruin your gear. Easy to stash in your pocket or pack, they're the perfect companion for your next adventure.
We started with a belief: sports nutrition should treat taste and natural ingredients with the same respect as sports science.
Most energy bars force a choice: good taste or good ingredients or easy digestion. We refused that compromise.
We started by asking: what if we just used real fruit?
Not fruit flavouring. Not fruit concentrate powder. Real apple pulp. Ingredients simple enough that anyone could understand every one on the label.
The culinary approach came naturally. We're passionate cooks as much as we are scientists. We understand that how food feels in your mouth matters as much as what it does in your stomach. A bar that's chewy sits differently than one that melts. A bar that leaves residue feels different than one that dissolves clean.
So we engineered bars that are soft, that melt, that work in every temperature, that taste good enough that you actually look forward to eating them mid-effort.
Sugar is sugar.
Whether it comes from a gel, a drink mix, or real fruit pulp, your small intestine processes carbohydrates the same way. The format doesn't matter anywhere close to total carbohydrate availability. A XACT Fruit Bar delivers 25g of carbs with the same absorption efficiency as any gel or sports drink on the market. The format you choose should be based on what works for your stomach and your effort, not on marketing claims about "superior absorption."
Melts faster than chews. No water required like gels.
Our bars dissolve cleanly in your mouth without requiring aggressive chewing or a water chase. Unlike thick gels that sit heavy without fluid, these melt and go. One less thing to think about mid-effort.
An athlete who enjoys eating four bars over four hours fuels better than one choking down two bars they dread. Performance isn't determined by the "best" product—it's determined by the product you'll actually use consistently. Enjoyment matters.
And in case you're the type who cares about it: our G/F ratio is 2:1 ;)
Simple fuelling:
One bar every thirty minutes during longer sessions (25g carbs per bar)
Fifteen to thirty minutes before exercise for a pre-workout boost
Mix into your plan however works for your effort and body
Real talk: Different workouts demand different fueling. A two-hour steady effort might need one bar per hour. A three-hour mixed-intensity ride might mean pairing bars with gels. A day out in the woods might just mean carrying a couple for whenever hunger hits.
Start with one bar, see how it sits, adjust from there. Your body knows what it needs. We have our lovely guides and fuelling calculator on our website if you want to get down n' dirty.
How to eat it: Unwrap. Eat. It melts in your mouth and doesn't require water or fussing. No residue, no dry mouth, no regret. Just fuel that works.

Cherry, Green Apple, Apricot, Orange and Strawberry
The Apple and Maple bars are incredibly delicious and I use them to perform at my highest potential taking them every 50 minutes. Never gets old or ineffective.
I first encountered xact fruit bars during a race and knew this was a solution that would work for me. We toggle between Cherry and Strawberry, but they're always in my pack. These give me a balanced, not jittery, boost to performance, and prevent the bonk! Also: they keep my hangry husband on an even keel, and that's saying something. 100% recommend.
After trying XACT for the first time and realizing I really liked the taste and that my digestive system handled the bars perfectly even under intense exercise, I've been ordering large quantities for months at a time. Now, before a long workout, I tempt myself with XACT.
They were my main fuel source for my first Ironman 70.3. I always struggled with finding fuel that I like and my stomach can handle. These were perfect and I enjoyed eating them during my race!!!
At the age of 53 years, I managed to beat my personal record for a marathon in 2hr58m22s. That was with the help of XACT NUTRITION, combined with a good running plan and a healthy diet .I am 100% satisfied with your products. THANKYOU.
I stock up on these little gems every few months! I generally only use them on long run days, as they are easy to eat/chew/swallow while running. And taste so much better than gels!!
C'est la première fois que j'essayais les produits Xact nutrition pour un marathon, et ça c'est très bien passé. Aucune baisse d'énergie et aucun problème de digestion. Je suis très satisfait et je les recommande. MERCI de m'avoir permis de réussir mon Marathon en 3hr.
