After spending hours traversing the winding roads of the Vexin, exhausted but determined, we were drawn to the promise of comfort offered by MX3’s PROTEIN bar. With its crunchy texture and captivating aroma of cashews and spices, this bar seemed to be the ideal fuel to support our endurance during our long bike rides.

Let’s delve into the composition of this invigorating bar: it is made of delicious roasted and seasoned cashews, rice syrup for natural sweetness, almonds rich in protein and essential nutrients, roasted pumpkin seeds for a crunchy touch, cereal pellets for a sustained energy boost, sunflower oil for its soft texture, toasted brown flax seeds for an additional source of omega-3, acacia fibers for better digestion, pea pellets for an extra dose of plant-based protein, and finally, a blend of Herbs de Provence for a subtle and refined flavor.

Each bite of this PROTEIN bar is an explosion of flavors and textures, offering both satisfaction and energy to continue our journey. Thanks to its balanced and nutritious composition, it is an ideal snack for cyclists seeking performance and gustatory pleasure.

Price: €2.50 per 37g bar

Our verdict: a true gustatory and nutritional ally for hungry cyclists after training. But it can also be consumed during exercise, though we chose to prioritize it for post-exercise recovery.

The RECOVERY DRINK: The regenerating ritual with Chocolate-Hazelnut flavor

After pushing our limits during an intense training session or a long, exhausting ride that depleted all our reserves, we found in MX3’s RECOVERY DRINK a true ally to soothe our sore muscles. With its creamy blend of chocolate and hazelnut, this drink offered us a well-deserved moment of comfort, while promoting optimal muscle recovery.

A closer look at the composition of this regenerating drink: it contains collagen peptides to promote muscle tissue reconstruction, maltodextrin for a quick energy boost, fructose for a source of natural carbohydrates, milk proteins for effective muscle recovery, natural flavors for an authentic taste, cocoa for its richness in antioxidants, vegetable fiber for better digestion, as well as a blend of essential minerals such as potassium, sodium, calcium, and magnesium, along with vitamins C, E, B6, and B1 to support the immune system and metabolism.

Each sip of this RECOVERY DRINK allowed us to instantly feel a surge of energy and vitality, while its delicious taste offered us a true moment of gustatory pleasure, almost like emotional comfort. Thanks to its complete and balanced formula, this drink is an ideal choice for promoting rapid and effective recovery after exercise, allowing us to return to the road stronger and more determined than ever next time.

Price: €26.90 per 420g sachet

Our opinion: this self-prepared drink is a real reward and a true chocolate declaration of love for cyclists seeking revitalization after competition or simply after a long ride.

The ENERGY bar: Refreshing vigor in the heat of competition

In the thick of the action during a thrilling competition this Wednesday, May 1st, on a short yet explosive circuit where each lap was devoured at high intensity, we seized the opportunity to instantly replenish our energy reserves mid-race with the delicious MX3 Strawberry-Basil energy bar. This little gustatory marvel offered us an explosion of flavors, reviving our tired taste buds. But beyond its fabulous taste, it proved to be a real boost during the effort, allowing us to restart with renewed vigor on the next lap.

Let’s break down its composition together: this energy bar is formulated with date paste, thus offering a natural source of carbohydrates for an immediate energy boost. Strawberry chips provide a touch of freshness and gourmet delight, while rice flour contributes to a soft and easy-to-chew texture, ideal for consumption during a high-intensity sports event.

The presence of almond paste gives this bar a richness in essential fatty acids and plant proteins, thus promoting a gradual release of energy for increased endurance. As for basil, its subtle addition brings a fresh and aromatic note, enhancing all the flavors of this unique energy bar.
