Ride a Flavorful Wave with Surfsnack
By Phoenix Coverley | WDSD ReporterIf you crave an energy bar that is actually flavorful, instead of something that resembles an old piece of cardboard, I recommend Surfsnack. Made in Cardiff by Jill and Daniel Wheeler, Surfsnack is one of the few energy bars that contains no artificial colors or sweeteners. Instead, the bars are packed with protein in the form of organic oats and a blend of nut butters.
I’ll admit, I tend to be skeptical when it comes to energy bars. Most of them make me feel bogged down rather than revved up. In fact, some contain so many additives and preservatives that the package recommends washing a bar down with eight cups of water. When I exercise, I don’t want to waste my H20 digesting a bar, I want to save it for hydration. After trying the three bars featured at Bird Rock Coffee Roasters last Saturday morning, I was pleasantly surprised by the fresh flavors of this San Diego-based energy treat.
At first, I was drawn to the Chocolate Barrels Espresso. Who doesn’t love coffee and chocolate? The espresso in the bar comes from Bird Rock coffee, so I know it’s free trade. But more importantly, if you’ve ever been to Bird Rock Coffee Roasters, you know the espresso gives a serious boost! This Surfsnack did not disappoint. With a consistency more like a breakfast oat cookie than one of those over-processed, chewy sticks of ‘bar,’ just half of the Chocolate Barrels Espresso bar had me zinging along for the rest of the hour.
I took home samples of the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Power Carve and Coconut Almond Pineapple Express to share with friends, fellow swimmers and surfers. Amid happy gasps of “Oh!” and “That’s tasty!”, the bars were an overall hit. The coconut almond snack was a particular favorite, since the island flavors of coconut and pineapple seem the perfect complement to low-rise/ slow-release sweeteners like dates, palm nectar and agave sugar. Of course, for peanut butter lovers, there is no substitute. Those folks who can’t get enough peanut butter and chocolate will like the Wheeler’s Power Carve bar. Finally, there’s an energy bar that’s rich in flavor, chewy and fresh and the best part is, it’s made right here in San Diego County!
