Jelly Belly Sport Beans
Bcipam, I love them! I carry them in the Trashy Cat zipper coin purse, in my Bento Box. I munch about one bag (100 calories) per hour. They have 60mg of Sodium, and 60mg of Potassium. That is fine in cool/warm weather, but would have to be supplemented on long hot rides. They also have a bit of vits C and E, 20% RDA. Can't say much for the nutritional value, they are made of sugar and corn syrup! But are tart, not sickly sweet. Anyway, a calorie is a calorie...They do a good job of keeping me fueled on 1-2 hour rides, but for longer rides I add in bars and choc milk. If you order them from Jelly Belly, the shipping charge is horrendous. I get them on eBay. They end up about $1/bag. Maybe more places carry them now, but I like the service from the eBay seller. They come in Orange and Lemon Lime. Kind of like Gatorade!
