CLIF BLOKS Energy Chews, Margarita Flavor with 3X Sodium, 18 Packs

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.

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.)

These are the best energy boosts I’ve ever tried. With the energy gels, I could never get past the texture (I’m a very picky eater). These chews feel and taste delicious. I use them on my 6-10 hour hikes throughout the tropics of Hawaii. My hiking buddies call me the “energizer bunny” when I consume these chews. While they are dragging from tiredness and the heat, I’m plowing my way through the overgrowth, trailblazing for all of them. I feel great at the end and my hiking buddies collapse from exhaustion. Definitely recommend.

I use these energy chews on a regular basis, year round, in the mountains. I typically plan for a pack a day. I sweat a LOT so I constantly need to replenish electrolytes and these are great to do just that, as well as making me feel like I'm treating myself with some candy. The margarita and salt have more salt of course, but I need that so love this option. Plus, these don't have caffeine like some of the other flavors which I try to avoid. And honestly, they do taste like a margarita! What could be better than that in the backcountry?!

Im a salty sweater and these chews are just what I need to get through my 10+ mile long runs without getting a headache after. Highly recommended.

I'm relatively new to fueling while running 1-2 hours and it has definitely made a difference. I had never tried energy chews and was looking for a flavor I might like without caffeine. I really like the flavor of these. That said, I personally can't use them. They are too large and difficult for me to consume while running at any type of pace. I tried cutting them in half, which was better, but it still takes me about a minute to get 1 chew down including a sip or two of water. In the meantime, my heart-rate spikes about 10 bpm. My aim was to take 6 per hour but that is just too much work too often. I've tried some gels and they are easier for me to consume on the run, take up less space, and I can consume the entire package (equal to 3 chews) in the same or less time than it takes me to eat one chew so I can get back to the task at hand. I do like the flavor and my wife will use these between sets while playing tennis, but I've discovered chews (in general) are not for me while running.

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.

I have low blood pressure and keep these on hand. I'll eat 2 bloks (1/3 of a package) when I get dizzy and I quickly feel bit better. The texture is nice and the taste is decent.

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

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

Good enough for the purpose it was purchased for
