Last week, the wonderful Community Manager, Jonathan, at ENERGYbits sent me a sample of their product to try. I have been seeing ENERGYbits take off all over my twitter newsfeed and love how sincerely involved the company is in all of the athletic endeavors of its followers.

The first thing that struck me when I opened the container was, wow they are green! The second thing was, they smell like fish food.


Full container

As they should! ENERGYbits are made with spiralina algae. So, basically fish food. Here are a few other things to note about these little green tabs of energy:

  • They have the highest concentration of protein in the world. 64%!
  • Olympians have been using them for 50 years or so.
  • The spiraling algae, the bit’s one ingredient, is 100% organically grown.
  • There is no sugar, caffeine, or chemicals in them.
  • They can be used to curb your hunger.

Since I don’t like to eat just before I workout, but then suffer stomach pains afterwards until I get something in my body, I took a handful of ENERGYbits before 10-mile morning run.

Half a serving

Normally around mile 6, I start to get a bit mentally fatigued. But this time, I can honestly say, that once I hit the 10 mile mark, I actually felt like I could keep going. Mentally, I was alert and ready. Physically, my ankle was yelling (but that has nothing to do with the bits).

10 miles later...

The best part was that even though I hadn’t had breakfast, just one serving of bits (30 tabs), I wasn’t starving when I finished. I wasn’t even that hungry for about 30-40 minutes after, which NEVER happens. Usually I have to eat right away so I don’t gnaw my arm off.

All in all, I was seriously impressed with these little guys. One downside: I’m a bit of a burp-y runner and the fishiness of the bits was definitely noticeable, not bad, but was there.
