+1 on Cliff Shot Blocks

I have been experimenting and struggling to find what works for me. I'm in the boat that too much of sugar spike makes me just want to puke.

The flavors that work best for me are the margarita and orange w/ 1/2 shot caffeine. I alternate.

I have tried drinking my electrolytes. All as of yet just makes me want to puke too. Thus, the bottles are holding just H2O and the lytes are in Cliff Blocks.

Oh... I agree on the packaging set up too. The sleeve works great. Some of the other ones end up a mess in the jersey pocket or ground (think square package, vs the Cliff tube package).

Good Luck!
