Comments about Jelly Belly Sport Beans:

These are popular with every member of our family...I especially like the ones with the added caffeine kick. Are they "healthy"? No, of course not. When used in place of candy, these are a great alternative for us...tastes great.

Comments about Jelly Belly Sport Beans:

I love this product. I used it recently on a Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim hike at the Grand Canyon. It was the only thing I could stand to put in my mouth after 10 plus hours. It gives a nice boost and they are extremely tasty. They are still tasy even when your body is just done and refuses any other food. And, easy on the stomach unlike so many things from Gu or others.

The package is sorta awkard. There are VERY FEW beans in a rather heave duty resealable package. Clearly they are trying to make them trail worthy but it's a little too much. I cut all mine open ahead of time and put the contents in a simple snack zip lock baggie. That fit in my pocket much better. The beans are pretty tough so they won't make a mess unless you let them get very wet. They do well in extreme heat too. I really wish Jelly Belly sold them in bulk packages as well.

Comments about Jelly Belly Sport Beans:

Compared to cliff shotblocks, the honey stinger energy chews, and the GU gel, these beans did not provide a boost at all. I sampled a lot of different energy food in trying to find what worked for extra energy in the home stretch and by far the beans were the least effective. I would definitely recommend the honey stinger energy chews (tasty and effective) or the shotblocks over this option.

Best Uses

Comments about Jelly Belly Sport Beans:

When I joined a marathon training group I started learning about all of the extra gear I would need (gels/beans, glide, hydration belt, etc.). Not being a fan of jelly, pudding or anything of a similar texture, I opted for the beans and hoped I liked them.

They are so tasty, I would eat these even if they weren't designed as body fuel. The only thing I've found is that it may be a bit awkward accessing them while running (and likely on a bike). However, I usually rip them open before a long run so that I can easily access them when I need to.

Comments about Jelly Belly Sport Beans:

I found these beans to be a wonderful substitute for gels and bars which frequently have the same ingredients with small variations. I cannot endure the gels and bars melt or become stale. Beans are easy to eat on the bike...there is a new packaging which may address the difficulty some reviewers (me included) have had with opening them. I especially like the caffeinated variety.They are also small, light, and tasty. They are sweet, but the salt content is great on a hot day. I really have nothing but good things to say about these. We buy them in bulk and keep them in the freezer for long storage.

Comments about Jelly Belly Sport Beans:

My husband and I tried these for the first time this summer and we love them! We used them while backpacking over 200 miles. They're especially useful when you need that extra boost in the afternoon or before a steep climb. They were strong tasting (like eating Kool-aid powder as a kid). Based on nutritional content, two packs of jellybeans equals one bag of shot blox, but Jelly Beans are more flavorful.

Comments about Jelly Belly Sport Beans:

Really love these during long runs. I don't have to eat the whole package-prefer just a couple for any extra boost. Can share with friends if needed. Only problem with product: can be hard to open, especially when sweaty! I've torn them the wrong way and couldn't get the darn package open! Very frustrating!

Comments about Jelly Belly Sport Beans:

I am a runner and I eat these before a run. They give me the boost I need, and they go down easy when on the move. I think that lemon-lime flavor is the best. Great to use when skiing or snowboarding. They are a great snack for when you're on the chairlift and give you a boost on the way down. I Love Sports Beans!
