Perfect For An Energy Boost February 10, 2008
These are not just ordinary jelly beans (I know, I tried comparing). They are just the right amount to provide an energy boost, whether it be first thing in the morning, mid-afternoon to fight off food-coma (or meeting malaise), or even as a snack before dinner. I first started using them to supplement on the train to or from nighttime grad classes. They're also handy to have on hand between sets, quarters, or whatever your sporting needs might be. Quite tasty, too.

Ever since I started marathon running I've been searching for a calorie supplement. Ive tried the gels, goos and cubes but was never satisfied. The cubes are too big and its hard to breath while chewing them. The goos and gels are just too dessicating, its like putting peanut butter in my mouth and I need to get something to drink to wash it down.
The jelly beans are the best yet. They are smaller making it easier to breath while running. they do not dry your mouth and they also taste good, aways a plus. They provide 100 cals per pouch and contain no caffeine.
That said it is not the perfect product. The package can be difficult to open while running and occasionally a few beans drop out as you are trying to negotiate them out of the bag and into your mouth. Also they should make a variety pack. 24 packs is enough to last me a month and I prefer to buy only one at a time. The same flavor, while good, can get a little boring. They have other flavors, a variety pack should not be too hard to make.
Enjoy your exercise!
yummy and easy to eat August 15, 2007
The sport beans are awesome. I trained for a 15k running race this summer and taking the beans with me on my longer runs really helped sustain my energy. They are easy to take along and very easy to eat. They break down nicely in your mouth and are easily digested. The flavors are tasty so you don't cringe when eating them during a hard run. Also- it is a jelly bean- what better texture?! I just moved to a tropical climate (Hawaii) and can't find them in stores here. I need them to help with my training since it is so hot- the electrolytes and vitamins will really make a difference. Planning on buying them on Amazon.
Great for keeping your energy up August 9, 2007
I'm training for my first marathon, and order a package of these after hearing good things about them on a message board about marathons. I have to say, I've been very happy with how they work for me. I was really having problems maintaining pace after the two hour mark, and had tried various gels, etc. but always seemed to lose about 2 minutes/mile off my pace after two hours. It may have been training breakthrough, it may have been strictly pyschological, but after I started snacking on the beans at the 1:45 mark, I started sustaining pace, and have actually been able to knock out my last mile on the same pace as my opening mile.
Of course, not garunteed to work for everyone, everyone's system processes these things differently, but for right now, I'm believing in the magic beans.
