Comments: Started using these during interval hill training that lasted longer than an hour. My wife meets me at the bottom of the hill with a bottle of water and a couple beans. It makes a huge difference over just a sports drink. |
|
Comments: I tried these as an alternative to Gu packets and Clif Bloks. The bags were in convenient serving sizes, and promised to be easy to use on the bike, and offer welcome variety. I cut off the top before the ride, leaving the resealable lock. Unfortunately, even while waiting for the ride to start, I couldn't get into the packet. Good thing I didn't try while I was actually riding! I tried to tear the entire top off the bag and put them in my jersey for later use. Unfortunately that resulted in beans all over the ground and in my pocket. While well-intentioned, these bags are useless for sports. They are quite tasty though, and the serving size is perfect. |

Comments: It works really fast to releave muscle cramps. |
|
Comments: I mountain bike once or twice a week, and being that I don't have much time, I push it hard when I am on the trail. The Sport Beans give me a little boost when I am completely out of gas. It's needed to push through the hard riding. |
|
Comments: I actually started using pre-workout supplements about 4 weeks ago. I had forgotten that I received these as a gift and decided to try them out today. I am used to pre-workout supplements that have 200mg of caffeine so there was really no indication of energy with these. They taste great but also at 100 calories, not sure they are worth it. Maybe make some with lower calories and more caffeine for adults. |

Comments: I'm a runner and go for 10 miles or more on weekends. I've tried the gels and goos to help keep up my energy during the long runs and haven't ever really enjoyed them. They worked, but tasted so bad I dreaded using them. But these Jelly Belly's are wonderful! They give an energy boost and they taste really, really good - better than regular Jelly Belly's! The only downside is that they rattle when you're running...but it's not a big deal. Totally worth it! |

Comments: I am a marine wife who loves sports beans and introduced them to my husband!! Hes currently deployed to Afghanistan now, but after sending him a few packs of sports beans he fell in love; and has asked me to send boxes of them for him and his battalion. |
|
Comments: Sport Beans are the perfect size to tuck into a jersey pocket for that medium to long ride on my bike. I love the flavors and they're easy to eat while in motion. I bought these on kind of a whim to see what they were like. Even though I'm not really a "candy" person and haven't ever really taken to regular Jelly Beans, I really love using Sport Beans. I'll definitely buy them again! |
|
Comments: I use the product for long runs. It is simple to carry and not messy like gels. You don't have a gooey packet to throw away at the next waterstop when you are done. |
|
Comments: I tried these for the first time while doing a 50 mile walk for Multiple Sclerosis. It really provided me with an extra boost without making my stomach feel full. Great taste too! |
|
Comments: One of the greatest things I have tried since becoming an avid runner! I will continue using sports beans for a long time! |
|
Comments: having diabetes i keep these with me all the time you never know when your sugars are gonna run low and you need a boost last time i used them was during the 2010 Elk hunt while hiking in the back country hundredes of miles from anything my sugars ran low it was these sport beans that got me back to a normal keel ..... |
|
Comments: I bought these for my daughter's cross country team and they absolutely loved them. Her softball team thought they were out of this world. |
|
Comments: The boys loved the beans! great for pre-game boost! |
|
Comments: One flavor is boring, I like how the different flavors tingle in my mouth |
