My Favorite Nutrition Products

Can you tell I've been training for a 140.6 distance race again? Yes that is where I've been! With all of this hard training, Powerbar products have been helping me pull through. I know there are a ton of products out there but below are my 3 all time favs:

1. Power Bar gels

Hello sodium! When training in well above 90 deg temps with 90% humidity on a daily basis, I have to have a product that is going to deliver something with sodium. Although I love most of the flavors, I've been on a double latte, kona punch, and tangerine kick lately. I find those flavors all go down easy on the hot days in the dirty south. During my long rides, I make sure I take in one gel every 45 minutes.

2. Powerbar Energy Blasts

Why?

On my 90 mile plus days during training I rarely do solid foods. Rasberry energy blasts are usually the next best thing and go easy on my stomach. I find them to be the perfect treat after mile 60 plus. It's one of the silly things I always look forward to on my rides. Those and then maybe a redbull lol. I love grabbing a small bag to take with me on the go..... (Which really is 24-7). Maybe that is why I run out of these so fast......

3. Ironman Restore

Why?

Most importantly I love this orange flavor. Yummo. And equally as important, after those 20 hr plus training weeks a girl has to replace her glycogen stores right? After my long runs, my stomach is usually tore up from the floor up. This smooth flavor is a good fix. There is definitely more science behind it than the flavor :) Thanks to Chloe for the good recommendation....

Thank you Rev3 again for hooking us up with such an awesome product!
