FAQ: Clif Bloks Energy Chews

Q: How do I use Clif Bloks during a workout or race? A: Eat 3 chews (half a packet) every 20-30 minutes during activity, or 3-6 per hour, depending on effort level. Wash down with water or an electrolyte drink to aid digestion and hydration.

Q: Are Clif Bloks suitable for sensitive stomachs? A: Clif Bloks are designed to be gut-friendly, using organic carbs like tapioca and cane syrup. However, their high fructose content (over 50% of carbs) may affect some athletes. Test during training to confirm compatibility.

Q: Which flavors have caffeine? A: Black Cherry (25mg), Mountain Berry (25mg), and Tropical Punch (25mg) contain caffeine. Margarita (3x sodium) is caffeine-free. Check packaging at Arvada Triathlon Company for details.

Q: Can I combine Clif Bloks with other nutrition products? A: Clif Bloks can be paired with water or electrolyte drinks but avoid combining with gels or high-carb mixes to prevent GI distress from carb overload. Stick to one primary fuel source per hour.

Q: How do Clif Bloks compare to GU Energy Gels? A: Clif Bloks (90 cal, 24g carbs per 3 chews) offer a chewable format, ideal for those who prefer solids over gels. GU Gels (100 cal, 21-23g carbs) include BCAAs and are more compact. Bloks are better for gradual dosing; GU Gels suit quick energy bursts. Both are vegan and gluten-free.

Q: Are Clif Bloks cost-effective? A: At Arvada Triathlon Company, a 25-pack costs ~$50-$60 (~$2-$2.40 per packet). While pricier than candy alternatives like gummy bears, their tailored carb-electrolyte blend and organic ingredients justify the cost for performance.

Q: Why choose Clif Bloks over other chews at Arvada Triathlon Company? A: Clif Bloks stand out for their organic ingredients, soft texture, and high sodium options (e.g., Margarita). Compared to Bonk Breaker or Honey Stinger chews, Bloks offer a higher carb-to-calorie ratio and compact packaging, ideal for triathlon transitions.

Q: Do Clif Bloks have any downsides? A: Some users find the high fructose content (tapioca and cane syrup) wears off quickly or causes bloating in sensitive stomachs. Others note the cost compared to alternatives like fruit snacks. Test during training to ensure they work for you.
