Dried fruit is a great source of QUICK energy.
Take a Medjool date, cut it open, remove pit, using fingers make halves into a scoop, fill one half with peanut butter the other half with some chocolate chips, raisins, chopped nuts....whatever, put halves together, wrap in foil. Very naturally sweet, stay VERY moist, instant energy from the date, protein from PB and the chewing satisfies the needed action for many people where sucking down a gel just doesn't do it.
