Favorite Things (Energy Gels, Gummies, etc...)

Back with another installment of some of my favorite things. I figured I should have themes for each of these, my first post was a bit all over the place. From here on out though each Favorite Things post will have it's own theme. Wait, doesn't Oprah have a Favorite Things? I need to think of a new name... Sweet Stuff? Eh, it sounds too Napoleon Dynamite. I'll think about it.

There are a ton of energy gels, bars, beans, and gummies out there and there are a bunch that aren't very tasty.  These next three are some of the most delicious energy snacks I've found.

Accel Gel Chocolate (w/ Caffeine): If you like chocolate, then you will almost assuredly like these.  It tastes a lot like melted chocolate and it is delicious. It also performs it's job quite will.  I highly recommend these. You can get them here on Amazon.

PowerBar Energy Blasts (Raspberry): Raspberries are one of my favorite fruits and as a kid I used to love gummy bears.  So, it's a match made in heaven with these energy gummies from PowerBar. If you were just handed one as a sample, you would have no idea of it's actual intended use.  It's that good. The only thing I don't really like about them and other gummies, is that they take longer to get down than a gel. So, you have that to contend with while taking them when you're running, riding, etc. Here they are on Amazon.

Jelly Belly Sport Beans (Orange): I say Orange, but that's just my absolute favorite of the Sport Beans. All of them are really good. Coming from a candy manufacturer, why wouldn't they be? Like the gummies above they take longer to get down than a gel, but it won't keep me from buying them. It's just something to keep in mind while loading up before heading out to exercise.  If it'll be a hard day I'll take gels, if it's going to be a longer slow ride or if I'm sitting in the house on the trainer, I'll grab gummies of beans. Find them here on Amazon.
