CARBOHYDRATE: 27 grams from sources including fruit and nuts; PROTEIN: 6 grams of whey protein (per package); CALORIES: 50 calories (per piece)

FLAVORS: Banana Nut, Cranberry Pistachio and Cinnamon Raisin Flax

From Jody: The package contains 4 prepackaged "bites" (pic above shows them out of their individual package) so that you can choose to take 1 or up to all 4 depending on hard or intense your workout is that day. They are easily portable since they have their own package per "bite". My favorite was the cinnamon raisin flax followed by the other two which I liked equally. You can see from the picture that each bite has an eatable rice type paper around it so your fingers don't get all messy. I have been there & done that eating my homemade protein bars/cookies to or from my UCLA trip! Do love the portability!

I am usually one not to like to eat before a workout as it upsets my stomach but I took 2 with me to my workouts, ate one before & one during & felt fine last week. Monday, I took one before my weight workout & was feeling fine as well. I will update you next week as I keep trying them.
 
Dislikes: I am not thrilled with some of the ingredients, especially sugar being #2 on the list & palm oil but at least that is the very last ingredient. To be fair, I see ingredients like this in many other bars out there but we all have to make choices for ourselves.

Again, I am not one to eliminate every little thing from my food... I do tend to eat mostly all whole foods so adding this in is not a big thing to worry about for me but I am hoping that Gatorade might work on some of the ingredients in the future. I will update you next week as I use what I have left in the house. I do really like the individual packs (below) & being able to choose how many I want to eat. Would sell for about $1.99 for a pack of 4.


Here are the stats & ingredients for the cinnamon first & then the Banana one. The nutritional stats are for all 4 bites:


2. On to the Perform Workout Hydration: Per Gatorade: "A lightly-flavored electrolyte drink designed to  help fitness athletes maintain hydration more efficiently than water. G Series FIT 02 Perform helps to replace the fluid and electrolytes lost in sweat while invigorating the senses to keep one pushing through a workout without being weighed down.  The innovative bottle features a hydration gauge that allows fitness athletes to track their fluid consumption throughout their workout or activity, a sports cap for quick and easy drinking, and a slim-sized bottle designed to fit bike and treadmill drink holders. G Series FIT 02 Perform also features a unique cooling taste that provides a crisp feel on the tongue when consumed."

ELECTROLYTES: 110 milligrams of sodium and 30 milligrams of potassium (per serving); CALORIES: 10 calories (per serving)

FLAVORS: Mango Passionfruit, Melon Pear, and Berry Acai

From Jody: To me, the drinks were very similar to Propel (sorry to mention that in the same sentence but gives you a frame of reference). Ingredients are slightly different but on the same line with both having sodium in there. Gatorade also has a couple sugar grams per serving. I liked all 3 flavors. I had been using Propel before & even with Propel, I would water it down to 1/2 & 1/2 just because I was looking for a little flavor. Drinking this just as is tastes great & absolutely no overpowering flavor. They even have a little nifty hydration check on the side of the bottle (see pic below & write up above) if you want to make sure it lasts you thru your workout along with an easy hold design. Me, I still pour mine into my own gym water bottle to take to the gym with me. Would sell for about $1.49 per 16 ounce bottle.


3. Post Workout Replenishment: Per Gatorade: "A light, refreshing, fruit-based smoothie designed to help restore your body after a workout through a blend of protein (12g), carbohydrates (12g), vitamins and minerals, with 120 calories per 11.16 oz. serving.  Some real fruit juice, calcium and vitamin D, make G Series FIT 03 Recover great to consume within 30-60 minutes following activity to effectively assist in muscle recovery. In an effort to meet the busy lifestyle demands of the fitness athlete, G Series FIT 03 Recover does not need to be refrigerated before being consumed."

PROTEIN: 12 grams of protein (per serving); VITAMINS: Contains some real fruit juice, calcium and vitamin D (25%); CARBOHYDRATE: 12 grams of carbohydrate (per serving); CALORIES: 120 calories (per serving)
