What is the Oat King bar by LSP Nutrition?
Oat King is an oat-flake bar in a distinctly more generous format than the aisle average. Each bar weighs 95 g, contains at least 42% oat flakes and provides 393 to 448 kcal depending on the flavour. The manufacturer states that the bars are made by hand, using traditional methods.
This is not a protein bar, and that is the first thing to understand before buying. A protein bar is built around an isolate, with 20 g of protein for 200 kcal. Here the logic is the opposite: oats are the first ingredient, the bar is dense in carbohydrate, and it exists to supply energy over time rather than to cover a protein intake.
The flavours in the catalogue: Big Tasty Chocolate, Chocolat Caramel, Chocolate Coconut, Carrot Cake, Apricot Yogurt, Red Fruits Yogurt, Super Banana, Cherry Almond, Maple Walnut, Peanut Butter and Lemon Poppy, the last of these being the vegan version. The rest of the brand can be browsed in our LSP Sports aisle, and the other snack formats in our protein bars aisle.
What does an Oat King bar contain?
| Composition | Per 95 g bar | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Energy | 393 to 448 kcal | depending on the flavour |
| Oat flakes | 42% minimum | first ingredient in the recipe |
| Protein, carbohydrate, fat | not disclosed | varies with the flavour |
| Format | Individual 95 g bar | |
95 g and up to 448 kcal: that is the figure to keep in mind, and it changes how the product is used entirely. A typical bar on this aisle weighs 55 to 65 g for 200 to 230 kcal. Here you are at double that, which is to say the equivalent of a light meal. That is neither a flaw nor a virtue in itself: it is simply a product made for long efforts, not for filling the 16:00 slump.
42% oat flakes is a high proportion, and you can feel it as you chew. The texture is that of a dense cereal bar, not a soft coating around a protein dough. That is why it stays with you better than most of its competitors, and also why it needs to be eaten with water within reach.
We should flag what we do not have: the manufacturer does not publish the nutritional breakdown — protein, carbohydrate, fat, fibre, salt — for each flavour. We will not fill those boxes with approximate values, all the more so as the composition varies appreciably from one flavour to another. The full table appears on the wrapper of the bar you receive, and that is the only reliable source if you count your intake precisely.
In regulatory terms there is nothing to claim, and that is perfectly fine: no health claim is authorised for oats in the area of energy or endurance. Complex carbohydrates act as fuel for exercise, which is basic physiology. Be wary of phrases such as “sustained energy with no blood-sugar spike” that turn up all over this aisle: those are slogans, not authorised claims.
Ingredients list
The full ingredients list is not disclosed by the manufacturer in the data available to us, and it varies with the flavour. It appears on the wrapper of the bar you receive. What we do know: oat flakes account for at least 42% of the recipe and are its first ingredient.
May contain traces of PEANUTS, SOYA and NUTS. Some flavours also contain nuts or peanuts as an ingredient in their own right — that is the case with the Peanut Butter, Cherry Almond and Maple Walnut versions. Oats are among the gluten-containing cereals as defined by European regulation: this product is therefore not suitable for anyone with coeliac disease.
How do you eat the Oat King bar?
Portion: 1 bar, or half a bar as a snack. Drink: a large glass of water, as the bar is dense. Timing: 30 to 60 minutes before exercise, during a long activity, or straight after the session. Frequency: one bar a day is plenty. Duration: there is no notion of a course here, it is a food.
Its best use is long outdoor effort. A bike ride, a hike, a trail run, a day's skiing: this format exists for exactly that. 400 kcal in a jacket pocket, eaten on the move and not melting the way a chocolate bar does, is hard to match.
Before a gym session, reckon on half a bar and 30 to 60 minutes instead. A whole 95 g bar swallowed just before lifting is heavy to digest, and the oats do not help. Cut it in two and keep the rest for afterwards.
During a long effort, eat it in pieces and drink. This is a dry, dense bar; without water it goes down badly and gives that blocked-up feeling cyclists know well. Spread it over thirty minutes rather than swallowing it in one go.
Finally, keep it away from heat: dry and at room temperature. In a southern summer, a bar left in a car turns sticky and holds together far less well. If what you are after is a protein-oriented snack instead, our protein snack aisle answers a different need.
Who is the Oat King bar for, and who is it not for?
It suits someone who does an endurance sport, who is out for long stretches, or who struggles to meet their calorie needs across the day. It also works as a stopgap breakfast: 95 g of oats and dried fruit beats a croissant eaten standing up.
It is not suitable for anyone with coeliac disease, oats being one of the gluten-containing cereals as defined by the regulation. Nor is it suitable in cases of allergy to peanuts, soya or nuts: traces are possible across the whole range, and some flavours contain them outright.
It is poorly suited to a low-calorie diet. At 393-448 kcal a unit, one bar represents a significant share of a day in deficit. This is not a cutting product, and selling it as one would be dishonest. If your goal is weight loss, our weight loss aisle brings together products designed for that.
What not to expect from it. It is not a protein source: it does contain some, naturally present in the oats, but in modest and undisclosed amounts. It does not build muscle, does not improve performance by itself and does not replace a proper meal. What it provides is easily portable energy — and on that ground it is excellent.
Oat bar or protein bar?
This is the real choice facing anyone buying from this aisle, and it depends only on what you are looking for.
A protein bar is made for protein intake: around 20 g for 200 to 230 kcal, in a format half the size. It is the right product after a weights session, or as a snack when you need to hit a protein target without sending the calories through the roof. Our protein bars aisle covers those references.
The oat bar is made for energy: plenty of carbohydrate, enough mass to fill you up, and it holds up well in a pocket. For a long effort it wins hands down — a protein bar over three hours on a bike will not give you the fuel you need, whatever its protein content.
And if your need is purely for carbohydrate, to be prepared at home rather than carried with you, an oat flour or a rice cream works out far cheaper per gram. You pay for the bar's format, not for its composition — worth knowing.
Frequently asked questions
How many calories are in one bar?
From 393 to 448 kcal depending on the flavour, for a 95 g bar. That is roughly double a classic protein bar, which puts it closer to a light meal. It is deliberate: the bar is designed for long efforts, not for filling a small gap.
Which flavours are available?
In the catalogue: Big Tasty Chocolate, Chocolat Caramel, Chocolate Coconut, Carrot Cake, Apricot Yogurt, Red Fruits Yogurt, Super Banana, Cherry Almond, Maple Walnut, Peanut Butter and Lemon Poppy. The last of these is the vegan version of the range.
Does the bar contain gluten?
Yes. Oats, which account for at least 42% of the recipe, are one of the gluten-containing cereals as defined by European regulation. This product is therefore not suitable for anyone with coeliac disease or gluten intolerance.
What is the protein content?
The manufacturer does not disclose the full nutritional breakdown, and it varies with the flavour. We are not going to invent it. Bear in mind that this is not a protein bar: the protein it does contain comes from the oats and the dried fruit, in modest amounts.
Is it suitable before a weights session?
Half a bar, 30 to 60 minutes beforehand, yes. A whole bar right before you start will be heavy to digest: 95 g of dense oats is a lot to carry. For a long outdoor outing, on the other hand, the whole bar makes complete sense.
Is there a vegan version?
Yes, the Lemon Poppy flavour. The other flavours in the range are vegetarian, several of them containing dairy, notably the yogurt-based versions. Check the wrapper of the flavour you choose.
How should it be stored?
Dry and at room temperature, with the wrapper closed again if you do not finish it. Avoid leaving it in a car in full sun: the heat softens the binders and the bar holds together far less well. Check the best-before date before eating.
Where can you buy the Oat King bar by LSP Nutrition?
The bar can be ordered individually from this page, in the available flavours, and we ship throughout France and Europe. At the Vendargues shop, about ten minutes from Montpellier, this is the bar we put into the hands of cyclists and hikers: on the back-country roads, a 95 g bar does more for your outing than a sugary gel. The rest of our selection can be browsed in the sports nutrition aisle.
Who is LSP Sports Nutrition?
LSP Sporternährung GmbH is a German company based in Bonn, North Rhine-Westphalia. It is the publisher of Oat King, the range of oat bars that has made the company famous far beyond the German market – to the point where many athletes know Oat King without knowing who LSP is.
We have not found a reliable source for the company's founding year, and therefore do not attribute any date to it. Nor do we attribute any awards or distinctions: several resellers mention them, but we have not been able to verify them with a first-hand source, and an invented award on a collection page is worthless.
The positioning, however, is clear and reflected in the product. LSP does not make gym protein bars. It makes a dense, chewy oat-based energy bar, designed for endurance and everyday life rather than muscle recovery. It's a different kind of product, and that's the whole point of this page.
What is the Oat King range worth?
The strong point is the raw material. The bar is based on 42% oat flakes, a high proportion that is felt when chewing: you chew oats, not a glucose syrup paste flavored with oats. The carbohydrates are therefore mostly complex, the bar provides fibers naturally present in the grain, and the energy is released more gradually than with a gel or fruit paste.
The second strong point is the wide range of flavors, with vegetarian and vegan versions depending on the flavor. This is a significant detail for a product consumed repeatedly during a long outing: taste fatigue is a real factor in giving up on endurance sports.
The weak point is the opposite of the strong point. A 95g oat-based bar contains between 393 and 448 kcal depending on the flavor. It is not a light snack: it is the energetic equivalent of a supplementary meal. And its protein content, naturally present in oats and other ingredients, remains modest compared to what is expected from a product sold in a sports nutrition store.
Which LSP product do we sell?
We stock the 95g Oat King bar in its various flavors. Its characteristics: 42% oat flakes, a chewy texture claimed to be due to handmade production, slow-release carbohydrates, and an energy intake of between 393 and 448 kcal depending on the version.
The uses where it is really appropriate:
- During a long outing — cycling, trail running, hiking, cross-country skiing — when you need to refuel without stopping and without feeling sick. This is its natural territory.
- Before a workout when the last meal was a long time ago. Allow at least one hour: it's a dense bar, not a gel.
- As a structuring snack for someone who struggles to reach their daily caloric intake. It then aligns with the logic of our mass gain and hard gainer sections.
The uses where it is not appropriate: an end-of-day snack during a cutting phase, and post-workout recovery where protein is sought, not carbohydrates. For the latter case, our protein bars and protein powders better meet the need.
Our reseller opinion
What works. It's one of the few bars that you still willingly eat three hours into an effort, when everything else makes you sick. The chewy texture and oat base avoid the pure sugar sensation found in most energy bars, and the stomach tolerates it better during exertion than a product that is too sweet. In this specific area, it is worth its price.
The main limitation: it's not a protein bar, and many people buy it thinking it is. The 95g format, the sports nutrition packaging, and the section it's sold in all contribute to the confusion. The nutritional reality is that of an energy food: lots of carbohydrates, a decent amount of fat, and a protein content that doesn't compare to a bar designed for that purpose. If your goal is to add protein to your day, this product won't do it.
Two other reservations. The energy density: between 393 and 448 kcal, one bar represents a fifth to a quarter of many people's daily needs. Taken mindlessly at the office, it sabotages a caloric deficit in three days. And the sugar content remains real: "oat-based" doesn't mean "low in sugar," sugar is what makes the bar soft and palatable. Read the nutritional table for the flavor you choose, it varies significantly from one version to another.
Oat King or a protein bar?
The distinction is the same as that between an energy drink and an energy drink: two products that look similar but do not address the same issue.
A protein bar serves to supplement protein intake at a low caloric cost, typically after a session or on a day when meals are insufficient in protein. An Oat King bar serves to provide available energy during a long effort, or to compensate for a caloric deficit when one cannot eat enough.
In practice: if you're weightlifting and looking for something to keep you going between meals without blowing your calorie count, grab a protein bar. If you're cycling, long-distance running, or hiking, the oat bar is the better tool of the two. And for hydration during exercise, neither replaces electrolytes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Oat King bar a protein bar?
No. It is an energy bar made from oat flakes. Its protein content is modest, derived from its ingredients. For protein intake, opt for a bar designed for that purpose.
How many calories are in a bar?
Between 393 and 448 kcal depending on the flavor, for a 95g size. This is a meal replacement intake, which should be considered in your daily balance.
Is it suitable for vegans?
Depending on the flavor. The range includes vegetarian and vegan versions. Check the packaging of the exact reference: the mention is present there.
When should I eat it in relation to my workout?
During a long effort, it is consumed in fractions throughout the outing. Before a session, allow at least one hour: it is a dense product that requires digestion. Just before the effort, a faster carbohydrate like maltodextrin or cyclic dextrin is more suitable.
Does it contain gluten?
Oats are frequently contaminated by gluten-containing cereals during cultivation and processing, and this bar is not presented as a gluten-free product. If you have celiac disease, avoid it.
How many Oat King bars can you eat per day?
There is no regulatory limit: it is a food, not a dosed supplement. The real limit is caloric. One bar already weighs 393 to 448 kcal; two on a sedentary day is almost an added meal without realizing it. On a long outing, however, two or three bars spread over several hours of effort are perfectly consistent with the expenditure. Adjust the quantity to the actual effort of the day, not to habit.
Which Oat King flavor should I choose to start with?
For a product you'll be eating repeatedly, the smartest approach is to buy two or three individual bars rather than a whole display. A useful tip: chocolate and dried fruit flavors are the richest in taste and can become tiring during a multi-hour effort, while fruity or dairy flavors generally go down better later in an outing. Tolerances are very personal: what makes one person feel sick is perfectly fine for another. Also check the vegan mention on the packaging if it's a criterion for you, as it varies from one flavor to another.
Is it suitable for weight loss?
Hardly. Its energy intake is too high for a snack during a calorie deficit. Our weight loss section offers options more consistent with this goal.
How to store it?
At room temperature, away from heat. The bar hardens when cold and softens when hot; in a pocket during a summer outing, it will be very soft, which does not alter its composition or safety.
Where to buy Oat King in France?
At specialized sports nutrition retailers and some endurance equipment resellers. We stock it and ship throughout France and Europe.
Is Oat King available in stores near Montpellier?
Yes, Oat King bars are on the shelves in our store in Vendargues, about ten minutes from Montpellier. It's the kind of product you buy individually to test a flavor before buying a whole display: for a bar you're going to eat twenty times in the season, choosing the wrong flavor can be costly.
We also ship throughout France and Europe. To explore next: our oat flour for the homemade version, our protein snacks and our electrolytes for long outings.

Questions fréquentes — LSP Sports
La barre Oat King est-elle une barre protéinée ?
Non. C'est une barre énergétique à base de flocons d'avoine. Sa teneur en protéines est celle, naturelle, de ses ingrédients. Pour un apport protéique ciblé, ce sont nos barres protéinées qui sont conçues pour cela.
Combien de calories dans une barre ?
Entre 393 et 448 kcal selon les saveurs, pour un format de 95 g. C'est un apport de repas d'appoint, à prendre en compte dans votre bilan de la journée.
Convient-elle aux végans ?
Selon les saveurs. La gamme comprend des versions végétariennes et des versions véganes. Vérifiez l'emballage de la référence exacte : la mention y figure.
Quand la manger par rapport à l'entraînement ?
Pendant un effort long, elle se prend par fractions au fil de la sortie. Avant une séance, comptez au moins une heure de délai : c'est un produit dense qui demande de la digestion. Juste avant l'effort, un glucide plus rapide comme la maltodextrine ou le cyclic dextrin est plus adapté.
Contient-elle du gluten ?
L'avoine est fréquemment contaminée par des céréales à gluten lors de la culture et de la transformation, et cette barre n'est pas présentée comme un produit sans gluten. En cas de maladie cœliaque, écartez-la.
Combien de barres Oat King peut-on manger par jour ?
Il n'y a pas de limite réglementaire : c'est un aliment, pas un complément dosé. Le repère est calorique : une barre pèse 393 à 448 kcal. Sur une sortie longue, deux ou trois barres réparties sur plusieurs heures d'effort sont parfaitement cohérentes avec la dépense ; une journée calme en demande naturellement moins. Réglez la quantité sur l'effort réel de la journée, pas sur l'habitude.
Quelle saveur Oat King choisir pour commencer ?
Sur un produit qu'on va manger de façon répétée, le plus sage est de prendre deux ou trois barres à l'unité plutôt qu'un présentoir entier. Un repère utile : les saveurs chocolatées et les saveurs à base de fruits secs sont les plus riches en goût et peuvent lasser sur un effort de plusieurs heures, tandis que les saveurs fruitées ou lactées passent en général mieux tard dans une sortie. Les tolérances sont très personnelles : ce qui écœure l'un tient très bien chez l'autre. Vérifiez aussi la mention végane sur l'emballage si c'est un critère pour vous, elle change d'une saveur à l'autre.
Quelle place en période de perte de poids ?
C'est un produit énergétique, conçu pour l'effort long : sur une sortie de plusieurs heures, il garde tout son sens même en période de restriction. Pour les collations du quotidien pendant un déficit, notre rayon perte de poids propose des options calées sur cet objectif.
Comment la conserver ?
À température ambiante, à l'abri de la chaleur. La barre durcit au froid et se ramollit à la chaleur ; en poche pendant une sortie estivale, elle sera très molle, ce qui n'altère ni sa composition ni sa sécurité.
Que trouve-t-on d'Oat King chez nous ?
Les barres sont en rayon à la boutique et commandées en ligne : nous référençons la gamme et nous expédions partout en France et en Europe.
