To Snack or Not to Snack? Why Smart Fuel Matters on Long Climbing Days
If you’re a climber, you’ll know that performance isn’t just about grip strength or perfect beta — it’s about what you put in your body. Whether you're heading out for a full day at the crag or grinding through a multi-hour indoor session, how and when you fuel matters. That’s where smart snacking comes into play — and why we created Entofoods single-serve sachets of cricket protein blend.
🧗 Why Snacks Matter on a Long Climb
Climbing is a unique sport — part strength, part endurance, part mental chess. And unlike short, explosive workouts, a long day of climbing demands a steady stream of energy and recovery support.
Here’s why packing the right snacks is a smart move:
🔋 1. Energy Maintenance
Even short climbs burn through glycogen stores quickly. On longer routes or repeated attempts, fatigue sets in faster if you don’t top up with food. Snacking between burns helps keep energy levels consistent.
💪 2. Muscle Support
Crushing routes puts stress on your muscles — and protein is essential for repair. Without it, recovery slows, soreness builds, and performance drops. Cricket protein, with its complete amino acid profile, helps support that muscle recovery on the go.
🧠 3. Focus and Mood
Ever felt light-headed mid-session? Low blood sugar can affect focus and coordination — not ideal when you’re ten metres up. A steady snack schedule keeps both body and brain in sync.
🥄 Why Our Single-Serve Sachets Are Built for the Crag
At Entofoods, we’re climbers ourselves — and we know no one wants to lug around a bulky tub of protein or mix powder in a chalky mess at the bottom of their bag. That’s why we created single-serve sachets of our cricket protein blend.
✅ What Makes Them Crag-Worthy:
Lightweight & portable – fits in any chalk bag or jacket pocket
Easy to use – just mix with water in a bottle, or stir into oats/yoghurt
Sustainable protein – a more eco-friendly alternative to dairy-based supplements
Clean nutrition – high in protein, rich in iron and B12, no artificial rubbish
These sachets are perfect for long days outdoors or post-session refuels when you don’t want to carry anything extra.
🌍 Why Climbers Love Cricket Protein
Crickets may be small, but they pack a serious nutritional punch — especially for those of us pushing our bodies outdoors and wanting to do right by the planet.
Complete protein with all 9 essential amino acids
Naturally high in iron, calcium, and vitamin B12
More digestible than many plant-based proteins
Requires far less land, water, and feed than cows or even soy — making it a truly sustainable protein option
Whether you’re sending hard or just enjoying the movement, insect protein offers a responsible, performance-focused alternative to traditional supplements.
