Posting on hasbeenswimmers thread about fat a$$ America got me wondering about foods that really matter to triathletes - like GU, CarBoom, Gatorade, Powerade, Jelly Belly sport beans, Power Bars, Clif Bars, etc., etc. What flavors do you enjoy/dislike? Why do prefer one brand over another? Does texture matter?
My favorites are vanilla GU (tastes like frosting to me), Lemonade flavor Gatorade followed closely by grape Powerade, followed closely by mango/orange Gatorade. Most hated flavors are chocolate cherry CarBoom and lemon lime Gatorade/ I really like Power Bars, but I hate the packaging - sweaty running hands cannot open the wrapper and the bar droops over my hand when it’s hot. Will eat just about any Clif bar out there, especially carrot cake. I can’t believe I’m getting a little hungry as I type…must be the recessive fat gene so many claim to have
Triathlon forum, please!
Uh oh, did I violate an unspoken rule? I thought most of us are triathletes here?
Gu’s - I like unflvared or vanilla. I had mocha the other day and almost yacked.
Cliff bars over Power Bars anyday. Prefer apricot or apple cranberry
Gatorade - standar orange or the grape/lime rain flavors
I’ve got 90 packets of mango flavored gels. I don’t like the flavor, so I’d be very happy to make you a really good deal on them. Interested?
I never knew crack came in different flavors.
GU - any flavor, though I think I’d pick strawberry banana as my favorite. lemon lime is a close second.
cliff bars - chocolate brownie. with a really thick layer of peanut butter spread over it, and a glass of vanilla soymilk. or chocolate raspberry LUNA bars, those are my new favorite thing.
Jelly sport beans? Get Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor beans, they are much more fun!!!
Definitely Cherry Flavored Crack.
It helps wash out that little after taste you get when you semi- O.D. on testosterone patches.
