Clif Bloks - Energy Chews with Caffeine - Variety Pack - Non-GMO - Plant Based - Fast Fuel for Cycling and Running - Quick Carbohydrates and Electrolytes - 2.12 oz. Packets (8 Count)

These are great. I have tried these, the gels by gatorade, and a smaller brand called off field. The clif bloks are much easier to carry and eat mid run while giving a good energy level. The texture is way easier to stomach compared to the gels. I really appreciate the variety of flavors, they are good across the board, but the strawberry lemonade is straight candy and if I could just eat a bowl of it like candy, I absolutely would. I will continue to buy these especially the strawberry lemonade one.

When I go for an early morning run, one of these Clif Bloks energy chews gives me a little boost to get going—it’s just enough to kickstart my energy without feeling jittery. I also love the variety pack; having multiple flavors keeps it interesting, and none of them are overly sweet. The chews are plant-based, non-GMO, and easy to carry and use on the go. The caffeine is effective, and the sugar content is reasonable compared to other energy chews I’ve tried. Considering the taste, quality, and variety, these are a great value for the money.

I've been a runner for years and always struggled with the texture of traditional energy gels (specifically GU). I decided to try these CLIF BLOKS and I'm never going back. Texture vs. Gels: The biggest difference is the consistency. These are like a dense gummy bear rather than a sticky syrup. They are much more palatable when you're miles into a run and don't want to choke down "goo." They don't leave your hands sticky if you save half the pack for later, either. The Caffeine Kick: This variety pack is perfect because you get a mix of flavors (usually Black Cherry, Tropical Punch, etc.) that all have that extra caffeine kick. I definitely feel the boost about 15 minutes after eating two or three bloks. It feels like a more sustained energy release compared to the sudden spike and crash I sometimes got with gels. Convenience: I love that the packaging is slim and easy to slide into a running belt. Being able to eat just one or two cubes at a time is a huge advantage over opening a single gel packet that you have to finish all at once. Highly recommended!

These are great for long distance runs! I just pop them in my bag and usually have one every 3 miles. Very effective without giving a caffeine buzz Easy to eat on the go, and great taste

used these on my first half marathon Spartan trail run and I feel that they helped a lot. I love all the flavors and will be buying again for my longer races.

I have been using gels for my marathon training until recently when I found my stomach started to get upset from them. I decided to try these energy chews and I am not kidding when I say you can literally feel when they kick in. They are awesome and you really do get an energy boost. I have used them for my long runs, and they do not melt. The taste is great and they're easy to digest. They also don't make my hands sticky like gels do. Highly highly recommend!

I give these Clif Bloks 5 stars. I use them regularly for fueling my long runs, and they’ve also been a part of my plan half marathons and full marathon fuel.I like to use them in combination with other fuels, and they always sit well with my stomach…no issues or discomfort. The flavors are great, and the consistency makes them easy to take mid-run. I like the texture of the gummies, the caffeine is a nice little boost mid run, it’s easy to divide them up throughout a run and know what calories you intake . They’ve become one of my go-to options for endurance training and racing, and I’ll continue to buy them.i think they are great quality. Always keep in mind that you should also hydrate wile taking these for endurance.

I ate these while training for my half marathon and I loved them. They gave a little boost and taste like candy, also it’s easy to portion control with these because you can eat one or more every half hour as needed!
