Reviews over the

Mantel Energy Bar

The Mantel Energy bar is a tasty and compact bar and thankfully not too sweet. Three flavours could have been more in my opinion. Apple and banana are okay, Cranberry is quite tasty, so I always order those per 90. Opening is very easy by pushing the bar out through one of the ends, the bar is sturdy enough for that. No teeth and only one hand needed, ideal.

Pros & Cons

I have diabetes and am on the road bike a lot. This bar gives me enough energy to bike another 40/50 km back without my blood sugar dropping very much.

Pros & Cons

An easy way to get carbohydrates on the bike. Taking the mix pack makes them extra cheap and gives you enough variety so you won't get tired of them quickly. Plus, they don't melt in hot weather, unlike bars from the supermarket.

Pros & Cons

Easy to eat while cycling, small portion, apple and banana very good flavour, not too sweet, well tolerated for me

The bar has a good taste and eats easily eeg

Pros & Cons

Bought a mix of these bars to try out. The bars were smaller than expected but that's not a problem because per bar it is more than enough. There is a lot of air in the packaging though so if you want to pack compact then you have to make a hole in the packaging. As for opening it, it really doesn't work at all. For energy bars on the bike, I would have expected them to be easier to open. Then my opinion on the flavours: Cranberry, I like. Apple Cinnamon, I think has too strong a cinnamon flavour. If I'm a bit hungry then it's okay but tasty is different. Banana, I find simply gross. It's almost a sport in itself to work towards the back. For the future I think I will only buy Cranberry from this one. As for energy, I notice that since I take these bars with me on my rides, I am no longer short of food. And since that is the main purpose of these bars anyway, I am quite satisfied with them.

Pros & Cons

Nice compact block of concentrate. Not too sweet.

Pros & Cons

Mantel Energy Bars are easily digestible and good to eat through. No discomfort in my stomach. Plenty of choice of flavours and easy to open on the bike.

Pros & Cons

I always buy these bars. Don't get sticky like I often experience with powerbar bars, for example. Nice flavours, especially the apple which tastes like apple pie. Find it a pity that you can only buy the mix range by 30 pieces minimum. 9 (3x3) would be nicer

Pros & Cons

Very tasty biscuits that don't crumble. As a result, there is no need to flush them with drink. The packaging does not open very easily though. The biscuit is a smaller than you would think but thicker.

Pros & Cons

Nice to modulate but worthless to open. Cut open first at home, barely tearing open with teeth

Pros & Cons

Tasty bars in appropriate size

Pros & Cons

Tasty bars for when cycling, swimming or running. The banana variant tastes a bit like banana bread. I personally like them. I get that people say they are small but for this price, just take several then.

Pros & Cons

fine as food and if you can't digest gels well. Besides, you can buy them in bulk which makes it cheap. Note it takes a while for the energy to flow through you. On the other hand, it gives gradual energy over long periods of time. A lot better than other 'bars'.

Pros & Cons

As always with Mantel fast delivery.

Pros & Cons

Easy to carry, simple to open and taste very good

Pros & Cons

Easy to carry, simple to open and taste very good

Pros & Cons

Top bars at a great price. Even under the euro if you order several.

Pros & Cons

The banana variant doesn't really taste like banana.

Pros & Cons

Packaging reasonably easy to open

Pros & Cons

A super tasty bar. Always a pleasure to eat on the bike. Gives instant energy, eat two for a 75km ride. Usually at home I already cut open the top of one.

Pros & Cons

Half every three quarters of an hour, with Karvam Cevitam and piece of gingerbread.

Pros & Cons

Delicious bars for a snack. All the flavours are fine.

These energy bars do what they are supposed to do: give energy. Whether they actually do that, or whether I am fooled by the promise on the packaging does not really matter: the effect is the same, because they make me cycle harder. The texture of the bars is pleasant and they are friendly on the stomach, but the somewhat chemical gumball flavour of the banana variant is not compatible with everyone.

Pros & Cons

The bar tastes good and the quantity is also fine. Good to eat while cycling, easy to open and does not crumble. The delivery of the product was as agreed.

Pros & Cons

Excellent bar. Still good to eat even with high and low temperatures.

Pros & Cons

Provides energy when needed, good size. If you are hungry take two.

Good product. The packaging does not always cooperate if you eat while driving.(tears into two pieces, difficult to put away cleanly)

Pros & Cons

Bought from Mantel before, an excellent pull-through, nice flavours, good substance and cheap!!!

Pros & Cons

Yes, it's exactly what I was looking for

Tastes like what I expected!

Pros & Cons

Fine bars. Tasty and not too big.

Pros & Cons

Good energy for when cycling. You will notice that your intestines have to get used to this. Start with max 2 bars during a ride

Pros & Cons

Finished almost 100 bars of Cranberry and still love it. Apple/cinnamon is a real disappointment. You don't taste the apple, but you do taste excessive cinnamon and you can't eat it normally without a sip of water with it. The 5 stars are therefore for Cranberry

Pros & Cons

For a bar while cycling, fine.

My favourite bar to eat during exercise. It's quite small.

On the bike, ideal to have with you. Easy to eat while cycling.

Pros & Cons

Bar eats away well and does not fall like a block on your stomach.

Pros & Cons

Goes in smoothly and provides sufficient energy. Excellent bar.

Pros & Cons

Nice bar with a good taste. Gives enough energy. Unfortunately does get sticky quickly in the pocket of your cycling shirt.

Pros & Cons

I had had these before and I liked them immediately, is inexpensive in terms of price

Pros & Cons

Lekkere bite, qua smaak alleen ervaring met banaan. Deze vind ik erg lekker. Al meerdere keren per 30 besteld.

Pros & Cons

Mantel Energy Bars are tasty, not too sweet, easily digestible and work fast. Thanks to their compact size, you can take plenty of them with you. You don't need to take them with water.

Pros & Cons

Good size and good stuff

Pros & Cons

Tasty energy bar. Easy to take along.

Pros & Cons

I once dangled in the wheel of a junior who opened these bars by pushing them on the handlebars, since then I don't want any other food.

Pros & Cons

1 bar can go in my mouth in 1 go. Then the taste is optimal. Like cranberry and banana best. Great energy bar!

Pros & Cons

I have tried many brands but in terms of price-quality, I think this one is the best. Tasty, does not stick and gives good energy

Pros & Cons

I recommend these bars for cyclists. They are very tasty and do not cause any problems even when taken under stress.

They were recommended to me by my trainer, he gave them to me to try and I was surprised. Excellent choice and excellent recommendation

Conveniently sized bar, fits well in your rucksacks. Easy to open while cycling and not heavy on the stomach. Choice of several flavours

Pros & Cons

For me, this is the tastiest energy bar I have ever had. I cannot judge how it compares to other bars in terms of nutritional value etc, but I always look forward to the moment the wrapper opens :-)

While cycling, the bars are easy to open.

Pros & Cons

Quick and easy to open does come in handy when you are riding a road bike.Every second you would look longer to open is time you are not looking at the road

Pros & Cons

Nice flavours, I don't get tired of them.

Pros & Cons

Good flavour and they work away reasonably well while cycling a tour. For during intense moments, I would take something else as I find them just a bit too dry to get rid of quickly.

Pros & Cons

This product exceeded my expectations.

Pros & Cons

Great bars that will be a regular part of my training from now on. I've been through quite a few different bars, and this one is just the best. The price, texture and flavour are top notch and give a great boost. Personally, I always start out with a bar and a banana about 30 minutes before training, and usually eat a bar halfway through on long runs. The only downside is the size. It could be a little bigger so that it fills the stomach a little more.

Recommended, my favourite. Affordable, tasty, easy to open

Pros & Cons

Tasty bar to replenish energy reserves

Pros & Cons

Very nice nutrition for during running and running! Not to mention very tasty too

Pros & Cons

Digests fine handy and big enough. But not too much

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Tasty energy bar with balanced taste. Compact and packaging that is easy to open

Pros & Cons

I have been using these bars for quite a long time now. They are not very big, so I can eat them nice and fast. They are creamy so they are quickly chewed. They are also tasty, especially if you alternate the three flavors. So these bars are top notch and at the right price and often ordered in a good combo pack. I use them during medium (60km) and long rides (190).

Pros & Cons

Very tasty especially the banana and apple. I used them for the first time today on a bike ride. They give enough energy and they taste great. Also very easy to open. Highly recommended.

Pros & Cons

I always have these Mantel bars with me during (long) tours and cyclosportives; they are easy to take along, give enough energy and chew away nicely. For me a winner!

Pros & Cons

Fine dining

Pros & Cons

Good price for a tasty snack on the bike

Pros & Cons

tasty bars for the longer rides. The bars are great to eat on the road and are not too dry. The only downside is that the bars are a bit on the small side, I would like them to be a bit larger.

Pros & Cons

Great value for money

Pros & Cons

Good bars to avoid hunger pangs

Pros & Cons

Very good bars that are not too expensive. Especially the apple and red fruit bars are tasty and creamy. Size is also convenient, not too small to still give enough energy but also not too big so they are easy to play with inside

Pros & Cons

Bars of very good consistency that don't crumble in the pocket. The taste is not sickening.

Pros & Cons

Easy to eat

Too good for an energy bar, but a little small

Pros & Cons

Convenient bar with excellent flavors.Tested 10 pieces of each.Met expectations.

Pros & Cons

Ik heb de stoneman arduenna gefietst gevoed door grotendeels deze repen. Gaan niet vervelen, erg lekker en dus blijkbaar ook goede voeding :)

Pros & Cons

Nice taste and texture, goes in smoothly. On the small side but still enough nutrients. May be a little larger.

Pros & Cons

Mantel Energy Bar (banana): Has a nice taste (you have to like sweet). Gives off a hefty bomb of sugars anyway.

Pros & Cons

Gusto piacevole per una barretta di questo tipo. Le dimensioni sono limitate e facilitano il trasporto sebbene apportino poche kcal.

Pros & Cons

It is to my liking when I went touring with my bike me and my father made good use of the products

Pros & Cons

Absolutely delicious and after waiting a while (because not in stock) delivered in larger quantity. But how small these things are. Frankly too small for the price as far as I'm concerned. They should just be twice as big as far as I'm concerned.

Pros & Cons

Tasty easy-to-digest creamy bar with nice amount of fiber!

Pros & Cons

A very tasty bar. Does not soften during hot conditions. Simply top

Pros & Cons

Good bar during exercise, on the small side though. Tastes good.
