great for OCR

The best energy chew for obstacle course racing by far. I first had these when they were given out during a Spartan Super, and they are vastly superior to the Gatorade product. Not only only do they taste better, they don't turn into semi-liquid mush after exposure to heat, pressure and the various other abuses of OCR. I buy them in bulk here and carry them during every race

Four reasons for using when biking

My wife and I use Bloks when we ride. First, they are easy to open and eat while riding. Second, unlike gels you can consume as many of the blocks as you want and keep the rest in your pockets without getting the sticky remnants from a gel. Third, they are easy to digest...just add a swig of drink. Finally, they are the best pick-me-upper that we've found. We always use the black cherry variety as it has added caffeine, a nice feature when the legs are sandbagging.

forced to share

bought these for long matches on the tennis courts, but am now forced to share them with a partner who loves them as an afternoon pick-me-up.

Deeee-licious! Gives me the energy bump I need, without jitters

I have a pretty high caffeine tolerance, and drink a pitcher of coffee a day. When I'm out in a park or the beach for the day I don't have any coffee with me, so I started bringing some of the Bloks out with me. When I'm running around for 5-8 hours playing frisbee and not eating - my energy can start flagging, when I need a boost, I take 2 bloks and within 15 minutes I'm revved up - I feel like they give a much smoother energy boost than when I was taking caffeine pills with my water (which has sometimes given me jitters along with the energy), somehow the extra sugar energy that goes with them gives a more balanced boost from both the sugar and the caffeine together, the Clif Bloks have never given me that edgy jittery feeling even when I've taken too much (6 at once! not recommended!) and on top of that, the taste and texture is just plain scrumptious. They taste like great gummy candy. I'd tried caffeinated gum and mints also in the past and they tend to range from gross to disgusting to intolerable. Somehow Clif Bloks made caffeine supplements that taste fantastic and work fantastic as well.

Great for Exercise

These energy chews give you a great surge of energy when out performing physical tasks. Ideal for running, or for a day at work, the combination of energy plus caffeine perks you up and helps get you through the day. The flavor is also highly agreeable.

Packaging

King of the chews. I say that due to these packages being easy open and easy to carry. Slide it in your jersey pocket and you always have something when you need it. Plus it taste great! I have tried most flavors and they all taste pretty good. There is better tasting chews out there but the packaging on this one sets it apart for sure. If something taste better but requires you to stop and use both hands to open it is not a success in my book. I did a head to head test with all the major brands and yeah some tastes great but require a act of Congress to get open or are just to bulky.

Great exercise enhancer!

I am a runner and absolutely love these on my distance runs. I can’t stand the texture of warm gels that have been in my pocket but these taste great! I actually use them for long distance drives to give me caffeine without the excess liquid ... less stopping along the way!

Pricey but well worth it for something you know is going to do the job

Been using these for a few years now and while they are a bit pricey you can count on these for a boost when you need it. I prefer the ones with caffeine but that's just me. What I really like is they last a really long time unless you chew them up right away, and that's easy to do because they also taste great!

Perfect for Biking

I love the strawberry flavor. These are great for biking because they are easy to eat even if you are wearing gloves, you can eat as many or as few as you want and put them back in your jersey, and they are very quick to chew and swallow. They are a great alternative to energy gels.

Magic energy cubes!

Here is the story of how these saved my grandpa's and my lives.... okay, not LIVES... but from a serious amount of pain and agony! We were hiking steeply uphill, gear and water on our backs, through forests of poison oak. The blazing heat felt like it was evaporating all of the life from our bodies. We were falling far behind the rest of the group. The leader of our caving group handed us each one of these and said it would help us get back some of the electrolytes we burned and give us a mini caffeine boost. After awhile, my grandpa and I were trekking up the mountain again. My grandpa said that these "magic energy cubes" (as we call them) "saved his life" once before, when he "pooped out in a cave" during a past caving expedition. Other comments: They taste good. The serving size is 3 cubes, and the amount of caffeine in 1 serving is 50mg (so not more than a cup of coffee). I only eat 1 cube at a time.
