So I have been trying a few different energy and nutritional snacks/bars lately. There are a few that I have really liked. One of those is GU Chomps.
GU Chomps are like giant fruit-snacks but they have carbohydrates, amino acids, antioxidants and electrolytes. Some of the flavors also have caffeine.
Chomps can be eaten before, during or after exercise. A serving size is 4 pieces and each bag has 2 servings. It advertises that each bag with fuel 1 1/2 - 2 hours of activity. Depending on my run for the day I usually eat 2-4 about 15 minutes before.
One serving (4 pieces) is 90 calories, 0 fat, 50mg sodium, 40mg potassium, 23g carbs, 11g sugar, 0g protein, and is 100% of daily Vitamin C & Vitamin E.
My favorite flavors so far at Cranberry Apple and Strawberry. But they also come in Lemon, Blueberry Pomegranate, Orange, Watermelon & Peach Tea.
I have gotten bags from a few different sports stores. These bags came from Scheels and were $1.99 each. You can buy them from the GU Energy website for $35.20 for a box of 16. I've also found some of the flavors on Amazon for a few dollars less.
I feel like I do get a little bit of a boost when I eat these and extra vitamins are always in good order.
