Product Description

This is not an ordinary energy bar.

  • An invigorating energy different from what you’ll experience with coffee and energy drinks. It provides a rigor and clarity that lasts 2 to 6 hours without a crash.
  • We do not rely on sugar to provide energy. We combine two plants from South America, Guarana and Maca, to provide a unique type of energy.
  • Each bar contains 100mg of caffeine. The caffeine is extracted from the Guarana berries and we blend it with Maca powder. We do not add additives to provide a uniform taste.
  • The very nature of our ingredients makes each bar unique, the taste can vary slightly. This does not alter the quality but is a sign of the natural ingredients we are sourcing.
  • This is a food product and the caffeine is assimilated in your body differently than with a drink. Based on our thousands of customers' feedback, maximum effect is felt when eaten on an empty stomach.

Recommendation

  • If you are sensitive to caffeine 1/2 a bar maybe enough for you. It may take you few trials before knowing when it is best for you to use our product.

Our differentiators

Natural Ingredients

Our secret is Guarana and Maca—two plants from South America. Guarana, long used by natives for stamina and energy while hunting, provides a quick boost of natural caffeine. And maca is scientifically proven to reduce the effects of stress while maintaining an illuminating mental and physical boost.

Natural Tasting

​​We use dark chocolate, guarana and very little sugar, our product is bitter by the nature of its ingredients. The bitterness does not alter the quality of the product and should not be seen as a safety concern.

Ironman & Spartan Champion

“I TYPICALLY HAVE A BETTER THAN COFFEE BAR IN THE MORNING BEFORE I WORKOUT. SOMETIMES I HAVE ONE WITH MY SIMPLE BREAKFAST EITHER WITH A FRUIT SMOOTHIE OR MULTI GRAIN TOAST WITH NUT BUTTER. I WILL HAVE ANOTHER BAR IF I NEED A “PICK ME UP” IN THE AFTERNOON, ESPECIALLY IF I HAVE A SECOND WORKOUT OR A LONG MEETING TO ATTEND. I WOULD RECOMMEND THESE BARS TO ANYONE: ATHLETES, PARENTS, AND THOSE THAT WORK LONG HOURS.”

Rock Climber

“I LOVE TO FUEL MY TOUGHEST CLIMBS WITH BTC BARS. I ALWAYS TRY TO HAVE MINE ON AN EMPTY STOMACH TO REALLY GET ME GOING. ON EARLY COMPETITION MORNINGS I ALWAYS POUND A BANANA AND A BTC BAR ABOUT 30 MINUTES BEFORE COMPETITION TIME AND IT NEVER FAILS! ALSO, I’D BE LYING IF I SAID BTC BARS HAVE NEVER GOTTEN ME THROUGH SUPER LONG AND BORING DRIVES!"

Professional natural Bodybuilder

“I USE BTC BARS FOR SEVERAL REASONS. I HAVE ONE BEFORE I STRENGTH TRAIN IN THE MORNING. I WAKE UP EARLY TO WORKOUT, SO HAVING A BOOST OF NATURAL CAFFEINE AND A LITTLE BIT OF FOOD IN MY STOMACH, HELPS GET ME GOING. I LOVE THESE BTC BARS FOR THAT MID-DAY CRASH AND WHEN I AM CRAVING SWEETS. I CAN EAT ONE OF THESE BTC BARS AND FEEL MY ENERGY BUILD BACK UP, AS WELL AS GIVE ME MY SWEET TOOTH FIX, I NEED TO STAY ON TRACK. THESE MACRO FRIENDLY BARS ARE GREAT, MAKING IT EASY TO FIT INTO MY DIET 1-2 TIMES DAILY IF NEEDED, AS WELL AS MY CLIENT’S VERY EASILY.”

Vegan Athlete

"I LOVE BTC BARS. I USUALLY HAVE THEM BEFORE A WORKOUT BUT I HAVE HAD THEM AFTER A WORKOUT TO REFUEL, OR MID AFTERNOON IN BETWEEN COACHING GROUPS AS A QUICK PICK ME UP. I USUALLY HAVE THEM AS A BAR BUT SOMETIMES, I LIKE TO TOP BY SMOOTHIE BOWLS WITH LITTLE BTC CHUNKS."

About Better Than Coffee:

Better Than Coffee was founded by Valerie, a self-proclaimed “energy drink addict” working in corporate IT. After needing at least one energy drink to make it through each day, she began searching for healthier alternatives. Three years and about 3,000 homemade bars later, she found a combination that provided lasting, natural energy without coffee’s crash or energy drinks’ artificial ingredients. Valerie then partnered with nutrition experts, scrutinizing every ingredient and turning down countless recipes to arrive at the bars we make today.

5 Stars
New formula has amazing improvement.
I am a big fan of this bar from the beginning.I love the fact that this bar is so handy that I can carry and eat anywhere.I eat different amount based on how tired I am and the time I consume. I control the caffeine dose this way and I love the flexibility I have with this bar.This time, I ordered variety pack of 4 flavors. When I tried them I could taste different from the previous bars. And I started reading about the product to find out why and found out that BTC has New Formulation from July 2019! No wonder! The texture was so soft and moist and the flavor was very well blended with all the ingredients. I was pleasantly surprised with the improved quality, great job BTC! I always loved this product and now I love even more for the quality and the fact that this company continues to improve.I am ready to re-order and continue to enjoy. :)

Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2017
So, I'm not a coffee drinker but I like coffee flavored things. I decided to give these a try as I needed something for my long work hours. It tastes okay. However, the bar was a lot smaller than I thought it would be. I only gave it 3 stars because even though the coffee taste is strong, the after taste is not the best (very bitter). Maybe use a little more chocolate (dark). Other than that Awesome. It did give me a buzz, so I appreciate that.
