New Clif Organic Energy Food Flavors!
Organic Energy Food Pouches. Fueling for the long run!
CLIF Organic Energy Food Pouches (New Flavors)
Last summer I was introduced to the new Clif Organic Energy Food which comes in easily portable pouches and immediately fell in love. This fueling source was exactly what a had been looking for. When I am training for longer distances such as marathons, trail marathons and Half Ironman triathlon distance my body needs tons of food to keep my body moving. During my training I have found that my digestion is better when I eat real food instead of relying on processed food to get me through (although I often use Clif Shots and other gels on race day as they are easy to carry in my pockets in my Skirt Sports or in my tri top).
Clif Organic energy food pouches are a staple for the longer miles. I’ll often have one before I begin a training run or ride and loved having the banana mango with coconut within a half hour of starting both the Eastern States 20 Miler and the Boston Marathon. They are so delicious and so easy to digest. I can throw the pouches in my hydration pack and enjoy them mid ride or run.
Breakfast anyone?
New Flavors!
Now Clif has introduced two new flavors: Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal and Banana Maple Oatmeal. What could be better! I am an oatmeal addict. It’s what I often eat for breakfast before I head out for my training. These new pouches allow me to have my oatmeal prior to getting going in case I don’t have enough time to have a hot bowl of oatmeal. The Clif Organic Food Pouches are all USDA Organic, Non-GMO, and Kosher.
Yum! This will carry me through my longer training!
According to Clif Organic, “Both sweet and savory recipes provide significant energy from carbohydrates, plus savory pouches have more protein, fat and electrolytes (including sodium), than you’ll find in a pureed snack product designed for babies, kids or for use outside an athletic occasion. I also love that at Clif they recognize that, “By using organically grown ingredients, we help keep harmful pesticides and synthetic fertilizers out of the environment and our bodies. Organic produces less pollution and helps create nutrient-rich soil and increases biodiversity – helping to preserve the places we play like mountains, parks, rivers and oceans. (SOURCE).”

The oatmeal flavors sound delicious. I will admit that the pizza flavor was not for me. 🙂

i love a quick pb on toast. would love to try one of these though
I am so excited to try these! I hadn’t even heard of them. I usually use Gu for long runs, but I would love to try the Banana Maple Oatmeal (it actually makes my mouth water lol).
The apple one sounds so good! I bet that would be good even as part of a quick break or something
Ok, these are a great idea, but I’m pretty sure Clif wanted to get in on the trend of runners using those baby food pouches to fuel! Are they priced similarly?

I tasted these at the Boston Marathon Expo, but would like to really give them a try during a workout!
I would love to try the banana oatmeal one. I don’t do very long exercise sessions or runs, so I don’t worry too much about fueling myself, but I do enjoy fruit leather after a run.
Yum! The oatmeal flavors sound delicious!! I always need extra fuel during marathon training!!

Banana Maple Oatmeal is a super flavor for me to try. I like to have nut butters for energy.
Apple oatmeal sounds good, like something I’d eat for breakfast and my fave racing fuel – gels – so easy to get down when I’m running fast.
