Customer Reviews

Love 'em!
I started off with the Mocha gels, whose taste I loved but the caffeine was too much for me, started to feel kind of light-headed and dehydrated. I typically drink just one cup of black tea in the morning each day, which gets me through the whole day, so you can see how sensitive my body is with caffeine.

So I switched over to the uncaffeinated Chocolate version (Amazon's listing of ALL these flavors being caffeinated is flat wrong, just go to the Cliff Blok Gel website to verify) and have been extremely happy. Delicious taste, zero stomach problems, and carries me through my long 2-3 hour runs, during which I'd suck down one of these babies about every 45 minutes. It's true that they go down a little easier with a few mouthful of water, but even without the liquids, they are far from bad tasting!

I use this product prior to races and fast training rides
I'm a serious, competitive cyclist who trains 22-23 hours in the saddle every week - all year. After careful research and trial and error, I switched to exclusively using Clif Bars and Gels. I like the incredients, taste and I like the philosophy of the company. I use this particular product about 15 minutes prior to a fast group ride and I do the same prior to every race. I normally use their gels without caffeine, but prior to races I have switched to using the Strawberry which is my favorite flavor of gel that also contains caffeine for that little added (legal) boost!

Excellent Stuff!
Clif Shots really do work. It gives you a boost in energy, staves off the lethargy of the 3rd lap, and restores the bodies' balance of sodium, preventing cramps. And all this while being organic to boot! I think I really like that part best. Too much synthetic gels and food makes it difficult for the body to handle. Sure synthetic gels may work a little better, but it doesn't seem to make sense when you're trying to enjoy nature and get fit and healthy. I think the conscious effort to protect nature with the litter leash is very commendable. It's not too difficult to punch a little hole to prevent fully tearing across and letting loose upon the world a non-biodegradable bit of aluminum plastic tab, so i don't see why other companies can't do that too. Do your bit... go organic, and protect nature too... :)
