A few months ago I did a review for ENERGYbits. They contacted me the other day and said we can give more away!!!! Enter our giveaway below!!!Recently I was introduced to Energybits and thought they would be worth trying. I am a marathon runner who generally will not "fuel" for long runs or races due to stomach issues when fueling before the run. I have tried different fueling ideas from oatmeal and bananas to GU and gels. Everything seems to upset my stomach.
Energybits agreed to send me some samples, so I figured what do I have to loose? For two long runs, I gave Energybits a chance. I'm training for a marathon now, and it would be nice to have something for my longer runs that didn't upset my stomach.
The first time I used Energybits was for a 9 mile run. I took a full serving (30 bits) right before heading out the door. I swallowed them whole with water. It's not as bad as it sounds (swallowing 30). They went right down with just water.
I started running and about half way into my run I realized I felt full. I hadn't eaten any food, so this was surprising to me. I generally start getting hungry after 4-5 miles. Later I found the reason I felt full was because energybits are 64% protein. They also have 40 vitamins and antioxidants and nitric oxide.
The next week I used Energybits for my 14 mile run. I took another full serving and headed out for my run. I got the full feeling again, but it did start to wear off slightly the last few miles. I never did get hunger pains, just started to get hungry because I had run for so long.
For both runs my stomach felt fine. This seriously was a surprise. I haven't been able to fine anything to date that works this well for me. I liked that you just swallowed the energybits whole. You can chew them but they have a strong fishy taste. They are 100% spirulina algae. I bit into one and could taste it for a long time. If you like the algae flavor, go ahead...I just don't care for it so I would rater swallow them. I would use these for marathon training in a heartbeat.

I love energybits myself! I won a sample and had the same experience running when I realized that I wasn't' hungry (usually for me around mile 8). I just ordered my first bag.
