Gels & Energy Boosts

CLIF SHOT ENERGY & TURBO GELS

It seems everyone has an energy gel out now and I've tried just about all of them on the market.  For me it all comes down the the flavor and the results.  I mean, you can have a party in your mouth when you're running, but if the product doesn't give you the nutritional boost that you need, then why eat it?

You know when the people over at ClifBar create a gel for endurance athletes, it's going to not only taste good, but give you the energy you'll need to get you through your workout.  When Lauren Kanouse over at Clifbar sent us a care package full of their assortment of gels, we knew we were in for a treat!  I tend to use gels only during my longer runs, so it took a while until I could dig into the box to sample.  Here's what we had a chance to sample:

Clif Shot Energy Gel:
Vanilla - Taste like the frosting on a cake....unreal!
Chocolate - if you like chocolate...this is your gel
Citrus - a nice break from the bland citrus from other companies
Mocha - I'm a coffee lover so.....mmmm mmmm
Razz Strawberry - This one didn't have caffeine, but still tasty

Clif Shot Turbo Gel:
Chocolate Cherry - too strong for me
Double Expresso - this is for all you that like the straight jet fuel

When it comes down to it, Clif Shot provides the widest variety for your palate.  You're bound to find one you like and with the caffeine kick, you'll be finishing you're run with a boost of energy.  Thanks to Lauren at Clif Bar for the samples and fueling us during our marathon training!
