This is not another energy drink, protein bar, gel, gu, etc.; this is a completely organic and naturally occurring food that has been used for its health benefits for over 50 years.

Swallow with beverage (or chew them as you would a handful of nuts). Remember, they’re “bits” of food (not pills).
My Review
I’ve actually been using spirulina every day for the past few months. I add a few teaspoons of it to my
green smoothiesor slip it into a recipe when I get the chance. When I heard that I could take it in a tab form, I was pretty excited to try them. ENERGYbits contacted me last week, offering me a sample to try and review; I was all for it. Anytime that I can review a natural product for my readers, I’m game. (hint..hint)
Luckily, I got the little green tabs in the mail the day before a 5k race. I thought, how perfect. The only problem was that I couldn’t differentiate my excitement, from the energy I was receiving from the bits – I was pretty amped up 🙂 I thought I should try them again before doing a review, so I took them again this morning before a 10 mile run.
To really put the bits to the test, I skipped my morning coffee (scary) and breakfast, taking the bits instead. I nevermiss my morning coffee, so this was a true test of the spirulina’s power. I took 20 tabs with water and waited about 20 minutes. I didn’t really notice anything until about 5 miles into my run; I was feeling great and not tiring at all. During the last three miles of my run, I actually gained speed without trying. The really surprising part – after my run I wasn’t even hungry (Usually after burning 1,100 calories I’m starving).
I would say that these little bits are definitely beneficial for us runners. One important thing to note is that ENERGYbits are a food and not a supplement. The energy that you receive from the bits is not as much a rush as it is a sustainable type boost; the more you push yourself, the better they work! I’ve been talking about the
benefits of superfoods since I started this blog. The cool thing about ENERGYbits is that you can just pop the little tin in your gym bag, pocket, or center console of your car. I may start using them to stave off hunger when I’m in my 5-hour classes too.

Sounds like a pretty cool product! Love me some spirulina.
They are great! I know, I've been using spirulina in my green smoothies for a while. It's pretty nice to be able to just put some in my pocket to carry around with me. Good Luck!
Interesting….definitely worth trying.
I would use them before my weekend long runs
That's what I thought. They actually work great and are completely natural (which is the best).
Exactly what I did yesterday! Perfect before a long run because they give you everything you need without a full (bloated) stomach 🙂 Good Luck!
These sound awesome! I would try them out to build up my endurance for running a 5k. It would be good back up for the up coming color run 🙂
Yeah man, you're gonna do great!
I would use them on the go – and to help fuel me through my three daily workouts 🙂
That's what I'm doing; I keep them in my car in case I just feel like a run 🙂
I would use Energybits to fuel before my long runs.
I would bring these with me on my upcoming trip to Japan. I'm a little nervous about being exposed to the radiation, and these spirulina bites would be a great way to fight back.
That has to be the best use of ENERGYbits that I've heard so far! Awesome reason for using them! I hope you have safe travels and stay away from any radiation 🙂
I Love EnergyBits!
That's how I've been using them and it definitely helps.
I plan on using these before long runs and during 1/2 marathon races. I just went vegan and the conventional gels are not good for my stomach. Can't wait to get my order!
Yeah, ENERGYbits are perfect before (and during) long runs. I agree that energy gels, aside from tasting nasty, just don't cut it. For one, they are highly processed and filled with things that I can't even pronounce. I would much rather use what nature has provided to fuel my runs.
