Rational & Study Design
Why I created this challenge:
In recent years, there's been a surge in interest around the role of nutrition in enhancing athletic performance. Runners often seek the perfect snack to fuel their runs and aid recovery, with social media abuzz about various strategies. Academic research highlights the significance of nutrient timing, particularly carbohydrates and proteins, in optimizing recovery and performance. Yet, there remains a gap in credible studies focusing on practical snack solutions. This challenge is vital to test the efficacy of YesBar in a real-world setting, providing both empirical data and insights that could revolutionize runners' nutritional strategies.
My Objective for You:
My objective for you is to explore how integrating YesBar into your pre- and post-run routine affects your energy, performance, and recovery. Through this challenge, you'll gain insights into the benefits of strategic snack timing, empowering you to optimize your running experience and achieve your personal best.
Aims & Objectives:
The primary aim is to evaluate the effect of YesBar consumption on runners' energy levels and recovery. Objectives include assessing changes in psychological strain and fatigue using validated questionnaires.
Significance & Impact:
This challenge holds the potential to transform nutritional strategies for endurance athletes by emphasizing the timing of snack consumption. Expected outcomes include improved energy, performance, and recovery metrics. While individual responses may vary, the study aims to establish a foundation for optimized nutrition that could benefit the broader running community.

CONTAINS: Tree Nuts (Almond, Pecans, Cashew, Walnuts, Macadamia and Coconut), and Sesame.
Made in a gluten free certified facility that handles eggs, milk, peanuts, soy, and tree nuts. May contain nut shell or pit fragments.
Product Safety:
YES Bars are produced in a HAACP-certified, gluten-free facility that adheres to strict allergen control protocols. The bakery is certified kosher (EarthKosher DE) and operates as a dedicated gluten-free facility with batch-level verification. YES Bar meets or exceeds FDA guidelines for gluten-free labeling and allergen disclosure.
Allergen Management: While free from gluten, dairy, soy, peanuts (except Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate flavor), grains, and refined sugars, the bars contain tree nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts, macadamia) and sesame. Cross-contact risks exist due to shared equipment handling eggs, milk, peanuts, and soy.
Ingredient Transparency:
Composition: Primary ingredients include organic nuts, seeds, dried fruits, and low-glycemic sweeteners (maple syrup, coconut nectar).
Additive-Free: No preservatives, synthetic sugars, or processed proteins are used.
Sustainability: Upcycled nuts reduce food waste, and packaging is recyclable (compostable by 2027).
Potential Concerns
Allergic Reactions:
Tree Nut/Sesame Risk: The Apple Cinnamon Crisp flavor contains almonds, cashews, walnuts, macadamia, and sesame.
Cross-Contact: Facility handles peanuts, soy, eggs, and milk, posing trace exposure risks.
Physical Hazards:
Nut Fragments: Disclosed as potential presence of shell/pit fragments.
Contrast with Recalls: Unlike recent Class II FDA recalls for metal-contaminated granola bars, YES Bar has no reported contamination issues.
Nutritional Considerations:
Sugar Content: 6-9g per bar from natural sources (no refined sugars).
Caloric Density: Nut-heavy formulation may require portion awareness for calorie-sensitive consumers.
