Jelly Belly Sport Beans - Energizing Jelly Beans - Assorted Flavors, 24 x 1 Ounce Bags

We cycle a lot, frequently going out on long rides of 30 or 40 miles. Having an energizing snack that is easily carried and tasty is a real plus. Sport Beans fit the bill. These are energy food wrapped up in a jelly bean format. They provide quick energy to get you going again, particularly on a long ride. We have also tried them while hiking and while they are good, they do not have the same impact in terms of energy as you find with cycling. The product is well designed and packaged into small single serving packets with zip lock like tops. You can have a few beans, then reseal them and save them for later. This is a great idea. The beans come in multiple flavors that are good except for the apple greenish ones that taste a bit like medicine. The flavors are not like traditional jelly beans in terms of being really sweat and easy to devour. These are thicker shelled and thicker tasting. It’s not candy. Highly recommended that you take a brief stop to consume the beans. It’s possible to eat them while you ride, but the package is a little hard to open with one hand and you need to drink a lot of water after eating them. If you do not have a good drink, then we have found that you get some stomach upset. Overall highly recommended. They are pricey but used sparingly provide a real energy boost.

I have used Sport Beans before in marathons. I am now triaining for an IronMan in the Arizona heat. I take protein and amino acids before and after every workout. I needed something to replenish me during long workouts in the AZ heat. The Sport Beans work great for me! I eat a bag every 45 minutes to one hour, wash it down with a little water/gatorade mix and I do not feel the energy loss I would feel in long workouts without the beans. I use them for long swim, bike and run workouts. I like that the packaging is only as big as it needs to be. I have tried other products where the packaging is so much larger than needed for what is in the package resulting in issues carrying on me during a workout. I can put three or four bags in my jersey pocket and I do not even know they are there during the workout. I also like that the packaging is resealable. If I am nearing the end of my workout and need a little more I can take a partial bag and know the packaging is sealed properly and I will not lose/waste what I did not take out of the bag. I also like the quality of the packaging. I can throw bags of sport beans in my gym bag, CRAM the gym bag into my motorcycle bag and I do not have to worry about the packaging tearing resulting in the product being alll over my gym bag. The quality packaging also allows me to put the beans on the side of the pool during an indoor swim workout and not worry about tasting chlorine when it is time to take some beans. I have tried other products and personally feel these are just the right consistency for me. Some of the paste products I feel are stuck in my teeth on my tongue and create an issue where I am using more water than needed to clean the product out of my mouth. And the fact that they taste good with all the other positives is why I gave Sport Beans 5 stars! Note: Althought, this is not part of my product review I would like to mention that I have tried the Extreme Sport Beans with caffeine. For me they do not work as well as the standard Sport Beans. The extra caffeine results in high/low spikes in my energy level as opposed to the standard Sport Beans where I feel I have more of a regulated high energy level. I also seem to have a bit of an energy crash after my workouts where I used the Extereme Sport Beans.

Love these energy sports beans. Tastes like sour jelly beans. Keep them in my tennis bag and pickle bag now that the temperature is warming up. Gives you that extra boost late in matches when you most need it.

Arrived quickly and the flavor was exactly as the description said it would be. The box arrived undamaged and our sports team was happy to have these as a little extra energy for a hot summer tournament. The mixed berry flavor was fresh and has a good flavor. Would purchase again. The price was good and I appreciate being able to buy the small packages in bulk.

A little tart, but not bad- I use this for biking. Packaging is good for transporting (stuffing into pocket, bike bag) without worry of tearing. They work. After riding 10-15 miles I use these so I don’t bonk on the ride back.

My kid is a hockey goalie and eats these before every game, he says they help. Not sure if it's a mind game or not lol but if it makes him for confident, I'm cool with it. Not weird effects from it and he says they taste great

I use these when i play tennis. One on each cross-over keeps me feeling energized.

I've struggled with nutrition for long bike rides. While some liquid nutrition is great - I need solids too. These are perfect. Taste great, go down fast. Good flavor. I do wish they offered a citrus only pack though
