CLIF BLOKS - Mountain Berry Flavor - Energy Chews - Non-GMO - Plant Based - Fast Fuel for Cycling and Running - Quick Carbohydrates and Electrolytes - 2.12 oz. (18 Count)USDA Organic

Highly recommend. I used to cycle ~2500 mile per year and relied on Clif Shots for on-the-bike energy consumption. My huge supply recently ran low, and I was dismayed to see Shots were no longer made. How could they improve? Well, in my opinion, Clif Bloks are a huge improvement. These are easy to carry, taste fantastic, and can be consumed one block at a time. My only grip is how hard it is to opening the package on a ride. I like to keep one hand on the bars at all time, so that leaves my teeth and another hand to open a Clif Blok. It can be done, but the Shots were easier. I may start putting the blocks in a plastic bag. Also, I have only tried Mountain Berry and Orange, both of which taste like Starburst candies. I have read that some of the other flavors do not taste good, so be aware.

I really like these Cliff blocks, they really help me during exercise like pickleball when it's hot and I start to cramp up these really give me a boost of energy and help me to play on. I also offer these to a friend of mine who was feeling sick during pickleball play since he said that he was feeling like he was getting a low blood sugar and these bloks really helped him to feel better and go back out and keep playing, he said he was going to buy some for himself.

Good slow dissolving chew, great flavor without being overly sweet. Easy to stash in back jersey pocket & grab while on the move.

Very handy to have on long outdoor workouts

Taste very good

Quick background: I'm an avid mountain biker, which is my primary use for these energy chews. I prefer them over many other options due to the fact that they check all the boxes that I need as a person who carries their materials in a pack over rough terrain.Here's the main reasons I use these over other forms of energy snacks:+They're clean and don't get messy+The pack and food item itself is durable+Good, fast energy for longer rides (remember to consume a serving 15-30 minutes before and every 20-30 minutes of high intensity cardio)+Does not leave mouth with a dry feeling+Difficult to choke on+Excellent flavor+No caffeine+They keep for a long time (over a year for the "best by", but I've never had them that long).When I mention durability, I'm speaking that the food doesn't disintegrate in a pack. I've tried other snacks like Honey Stingers, which while delicious, are a crumbly mess and hard to consume while riding. As these are gels and sugar, usually salivation increases after eating these, which is desirable since having a dry mouth is never ideal. I also do have a water pack with me, but only want to use it when needed.I know some of those sound like a joke, but when you're biking or participating in high intensity exercise, you aren't always fully focused on eating. Generally I continue biking while eating and drinking, so having something that's easy to swallow and not choke on is a great feature.Anyway, these are highly recommended and I enjoy that they are still caffeine free. I'm plenty awake and aware when my heart rate is through the roof from climbing category four trails as it is.

We use these when bike riding. Keeps the energy up

I have been running/racing for 20+ years. I discovered Bloks at an expo and have never looked back. These are my 'reward' for finishing a line. I eat one at every mile of my long runs/races. I'm kind of picky about flavors so I don't care for a lot of flavors, though I will chew them down without an issue, but Mountain Berry is my favorite.If you don't like the slimy feel or texture of Gu, try these.
