I love running and sometimes I need extra energy to get me going. When I found out that I could get that extra energy through chocolate, I was very happy. I got to review Energems Great Tasting Energy Bites on my blog and the product arrive just in time, as I was training for a race. I receive all three flavors of Energems: peanut butter, chocolate mint, and chocolate. Energems has 75 mg of caffeine per serving and B-vitamins and amino acids. There is only 15 calories in each piece.
When I run during the week, I will drink coffee a couple of hours before I run. The caffeine in the coffee gives me that extra energy I need to run fast. Coffee, unfortunately, is not good on race day as it moves things along in your lower bowels. So until now I have resorted to sugar based energy on race day. I love that Energems gives me the caffeine without the problems of coffee and it tastes great.
I tried Energems a couple of days before my race to see how it works. I of course had to try all three flavors. The recommended dose is three candies. I ate the wonderful tasting Energems 20 minutes before I went running. While I was running, I felt more motivated to run my 5 miles without stopping. The Energems gave me the extra energy to make my run enjoyable.
I brought Energems with me to my race, a 5K on Thanksgiving. I again consumed three Energems 20 minutes before the race. I ran a wonderful race and came in 2nd in my age category with a time of 25:15.

I was going to try these but I am breastfeeding and wasn't sure how safe they were.
I have never heard of them before, but I could definitely use them! I find (especially this time of year) I feel so run down. I could use an extra burst of energy to get everythign done!
I have tried these once, and thought they tasted really good...plus gave me energy!
Now this is some chocolate I could get used to! Especially trying to stay active during this time of year.
These look great! I'm gonna have to check them out!

I have never tried this product. Thank you for the information!
who doesn't need more energy
I have heard about these and I think I just might need to try them.
I actually don't mind coffee on race day because it doesn't take long for things to start moving, like it's a conditioned response and I don't even finish half a mug. But these would be nice to have when it's just before the race start for me.
This sounds terrific! I love that they taste good!
We use energy supplements in my house but they usually do not taste good. I LOVE anything peanut butter flavored though & hubby loves mint so I bet these are delicious! Good job on your race that is awesome you came in second. I have not been that close to winning a race in awhile lol!
