Clif BLOKS - Energy Chews - Margarita with Salt 3X Sodium for Added Electrolytes- Non-GMO - Plant Based Food - Fast Fuel for Cycling and Running-Workout Snack (2.1 Ounce Packet, 18 Count)

These were recommended to me by my friend who is an ultramarathoner who also holds a degree in nuclear chemistry, and works as a medical dean in clinical research. In other words, she knows what she is talking about. She recommended that I eat one block for every mile as a recovery snack for a half marathon I was doing. I use it whenever I do road races of any length at about that pace. These days, I do more hot yoga than anything, and I have one block before, and also sometimes one after. Greatly helps with my ability to recover and think straight for my day. I am a massage therapist of 20 years, so I need to be physically ready for a long day as well as able to think clearly so I don’t hurt anyone. The flavors are great, although I don’t do the ones with caffeine. I like the salty ones when I have sweated way more than I should. The Mountainberry is my other favorite, as the strawberry is a little sweet.

Good products , my go to when out for a long run.

I first found these during a Disney Marathon in Florida. I found the flavor was perfect for me, not cloyingly sweet, not puckeringly sour. I don't chew them, just rest them in my cheek as I run and I can get them to last a good long while. I sweat A LOT when I run and I find these really help me from getting too dehydrated. It seems like CLIF had stopped making this flavor for a while, and none of the others really worked for me, so when I saw these available again, I bought an entire box.

Seamless transaction, speedy delivery, sharp price and long use-by date. Perfect.

They're not messy like gels, aren't like cardboard like many bars, no mixing like drink powders. Just slip 'em in your pocket and suck on one when a hill looms or when cramps come on (if you haven't kept them at bay by using before that). The margarita flavor is tasty and acts faster than others due to the higher sodium level. On a long climb when it's hard to drink, they keep your mouth from feeling dry while gradually releasing electrolytes. (I don't usually give 5 stars but I can't think of a reason not to in this case.)
