How are the Sport Beans?

[SadieKate]

For a number of reasons, I had very low energy on Saturday's metric. Downed an entire bag in about 90 secs and must have been magic. Flew the last 15 miles. They're not too sweet.

Two new flavors will be out. As I recall it will be Fruit Punch and some kind of mixed berry.

I really like the bean idea but have had trouble finding them in stores. Might have to order them via internet but hate to pay shipping just to give them a try. If sampling, which flavor would you recommend.

I like the lime better than the orange, but haven't tried punch or blue. In LBS they are $2. Over the Internet they go as low as 89 cents, but then there is shipping. Lots of places carry them- a guy on EBay called Stabman, I've ordered from him a whole bunch, drugstore.com, zombierunner.com has them on sale- if you Froogle them, you can find a good deal, then just look for the cheapest shipping. If you order a bunch, and hate them, I will buy them from you.

I have only tried the Lime and Orange and def prefer the lime. I'm more of an orange person, but the lime just has a better flavor. They're delicious, give them a try!

I haven't tried the beans, but have totally converted over to the Clif Shot Blocks (http://www.clifbar.com/eat/shot_blok.cfm?location=shot). They're just gummy little squares that taste pretty good (except for lemon-line -- those are rancid). 3 blocks = 1 gu as far as nutrition goes and they don't leave your hands all sticky.

Sport Beans and Clif Bloks! My two current favorite "energy" foods!

I found Sport Beans in my grocery store in the Jelly Belly display. I was quite surprised. The price is reasonable, I think about $1.29 or something. If your store carries Jelly Bellies, ask them if they can bring in the Sport Beans! We still only have orange and lime here in UT. I like both flavors, actually.

I had a Clif Blok once. It is exactly like Sharkies. (REI carries those). Any candy lover would like them.
