Quick answer

Eat one That's It Vanilla Coffee Organic Energy Mini Bar about 30 minutes before your workout. Its 50 calories and natural coffee energy give you a clean boost without the crash of sugary drinks.

Why a mini bar works better than a full meal

A heavy meal before exercise diverts blood flow to digestion, leaving less oxygen for your muscles. A 50-calorie mini bar is light enough to digest quickly but provides steady energy from real ingredients like dates and coffee. That's It's bars use only 5 organic ingredients, so you skip the artificial additives that can upset your stomach during a run or lift.

How to time your pre-workout mini bar

  1. Step 1: Eat one bar 30 minutes before exercise: Unwrap one Vanilla Coffee Organic Energy Mini Bar and eat it with a small glass of water. The 30-minute window allows your body to start converting the natural sugars and caffeine into usable energy just as you begin your warm-up. Don't eat more than one bar — extra calories close to exercise can cause stomach discomfort.
  2. Step 2: Pair with hydration, not another caffeine source: Drink 8–12 oz of water alongside the bar. The bar already contains coffee for a natural energy lift, so skip your pre-workout coffee or energy drink to avoid over-caffeinating. Over-caffeinating can lead to jitters and dehydration during your workout.
  3. Step 3: Adjust timing based on workout length: For sessions under 45 minutes, one bar is sufficient. For longer endurance workouts (60+ minutes), eat a second bar 15 minutes before starting, or pack one for a mid-workout refuel. Test the timing during a low-stakes workout first — everyone digests at a different pace.
