Veloforte Zenzero is a natural energy bar with candied lemon peel, stem ginger, almonds and pistachios. Veloforte bakes it from real ingredients and builds it for endurance, with dual-source carbohydrates (glucose and fructose) and plant protein.
Lemon and ginger give it a fresh flavour, a change from berry or chocolate bars, whether you are two hours into a long ride at Al Qudra or out on an early run before the heat builds. Zenzero is vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and caffeine-free.

What makes it work
Real ingredients
Candied lemon peel, almonds and pistachios with dates, gram flour and stem ginger, baked by Veloforte.
Dual-source carbs
Glucose and fructose for steady energy, with plant protein to start your recovery.
Lemon and ginger
Veloforte’s lemon, ginger and pistachio flavour, with 6% stem ginger and 24% candied lemon peel.
When to eat it
Veloforte suggests a bar 1 to 2 hours before you start, then one every 30 to 60 minutes through a long, steady effort. For longer, harder efforts it recommends pairing bars with a gel or chews, and at race pace or high intensity reaching for a gel or chews instead, such as the Veloforte Fresco Energy Chews.
Who it is for
- Cyclists on long weekend rides and sportives
- Runners, triathletes and hikers who prefer real food to gels
- Anyone who wants a vegan, gluten-free energy bar with a fresh lemon and ginger taste

Yes. Veloforte lists Zenzero as vegan and gluten-free, and its bars are dairy-free and caffeine-free.
How much carbohydrate is in one bar?
About 37 g per 62 g bar (59.9 g per 100 g), from a mix of glucose and fructose, plus about 5 g of plant protein and about 249 kcal.
When should I eat it?

Is this the same bar as on Veloforte’s website?
