Jelly BellySport Beans, Lemon Lime Energizing Jelly Beans, 1-Ounce Bags (Pack of 24)

I have to say, I am obsessed with these beans! They are so good. I use them as a reward. Run one mile, eat one jelly bean. They are so much better than gels IMO. The gel texture gets to me while I’m running. Sometimes it is too thick and just makes me feel more dehydrated. But these jelly beans, for some reason, don’t make me feel that way. I love them!!

Taste Great, lots of energy, small and compact for exercising and training with.

Excellent taste and ease of use. Great for swimming, biking, hiking, etc. Too expensive to buy unless it's by the box.

I am currently training for my first half-marathon. Refueling is a unique challenge for me, as I had weight loss surgery (gastric sleeve) 7 months ago, and my 'baby stomach' is the size of a small banana. So eating a meal (even a small one) pre-run is just not possible for me. I do have a half-cup of oatmeal, coffee, and that's it.I tried the GU gel packs - consistency of motor oil, hard to swallow while running, and caused severe nausea within 10 minutes of use.I tried Life Savers next, but they are messy and hurt my teeth / get stuck in my braces. Yes, I'm 42 and have braces. Sigh.I bought my first pack of Sport Beans at a pre-race expo (Asheville, NC, 10K a few months ago). I was very happy with the quality, the pouch fit conveniently in the front pocket of my CamelBak, and the beans were easy to chew/swallow (though I do advise a sip or two of water). However, the price ($3) per packet was steep, considering I go through one to two packets per long run.Then enter Amazon and bulk pricing .... Ah, now my favorite 'fuel' for long runs at an affordable price! The lemon-lime flavor is tasty, albeit just a touch salty. Of course, it contains electrolytes so the saltiness is no surprise. I tried regular Jelly Belly beans during my most recent long run (14 mi ) but I actually prefer the taste of the Sport Beans now. Would highly recommend for all distance athletes - with the caveat that you carry some form of hydration to 'wash down'.

They changed the resealable opening on these beans and they're a bit harder to open now, which makes them a tad annoying for a long run. Otherwise, they taste ok. I'd probably buy again, but might try something else.

I have been using these energy beans for over 8 years. When I do a strenuous workout or a 5K, I always have a bag or two of beans which make me feel energized. The lemon lime is my favorite flavor.

This Lemon Lime Jelly Belly is the best! I am a runner this is a must for me since my runner cousin introduced it to me years ago. I take it with me on my long runs.. 1/2 marathons, full marathons and R2R2R! I even brought boxes overseas to share with my family and friends. Not only for sports, I also take it when we are on road trips. it gives me energy and the sourness just wakes me up~ Love it!

When I run for an hour or more, I use these for an extra boost around the one hour mark. I have also given them to the cross country team at my granddaughter’s school for those who want a boost before their run.

Very small light in weight to carry on a run.

Good flavour to zip some energy in on long runs

Pretty sickly
