September/ October StrideBox Review


September Stride Box Review

Fuel 100- Electro-Bites- Salty Vanilla
Developed by endurance athletes as a salty alternative to sweet gels
 I was not a fan of this product at all. From the first moment I put the first piece in my mouth all I tasted was salt, no vanilla, just salt. When I finished the pack I quickly downed full my water bottle as a result of dry mouth.

Happy Squeeze- Coco Orange Mango
100% Organic “Super food”, Made with Coconut milk, vitamins and minerals.
As soon as I saw the words coconut milk I became skeptical of the flavor but, I was pleasantly surprised by the great taste.

Eboost- Natural Energy Booster
Drink Mix with green tea, vitamins and nutrients

AeroShot Energy- Air based energy shot.
A quick burst of B vitamins and Caffeine
I liked the concept of an air based energy shot but this one had no effect on me.

PROBAR Bolt- Energy Chews- Strawberry
 Gluten Free Organic energy chews full of electrolytes and complex cabs.
My favorite item in this month’s box, Great taste and quick energy on one of my longer training runs, I will defiantly be looking forward to adding these to my training kit.

Now-A3 Bar- Honey Graham Smores
A great tasting energy bar/ recovery snack jammed with stuff you need to keep you moving.
This Bar defiantly lives up to its description especially with the “Great Tasting” part, I mean the flavor is Honey Graham Smores and it actually taste like it. Thumbs up

October Stride Box Review

Chocolate #9- Low Glycemic Index Energy Gel
The only Low Glycemic energy gel on the market is packet with only two ingredients to make it easy to digest.
I tried this product on a longer run, It has a nice taste which made it easier for me to get down then some of the order Gels I've tried.

Nature's Bakery- All Natural Fig Bar
All Natural figs make great fuel for training and running.
This product reminds me of a fig newton cookie but the taste is so much better. Instead of tasting the sugar like this cookie you taste more of the natural flavor of the fruit which I think puts this bar in a category of it's own.

That's It.- All-Natural Fruit Bar
A Great bar full of antioxidants with only 2 ingredients...apples, and cherries.

 
Fluid Performance- Natural Sports Drink
Designed for use during exercise, it's revolutionary formula includes multiple energy sources, bioavailable electrolytes, and great taste.

Two thumbs way up on flavor, taste and texture!
