CLIF® SHOT BLOKS® Electrolyte Chews can be eaten 15-30 minutes prior to activity to increase blood sugar levels, and then every 20-30 minutes during activity to maintain energy levels. Keep in mind that Bloks will affect your blood sugar levels more slowly than gel since they are semi-solid. Always follow up with a mouthful of water.
CLIF SHOT® Energy Gel and CLIF® SHOT BLOKS® Electrolyte Chews are easily interchangeable since they both provide carbohydrate to working muscles. Since 3 SHOT BLOKS pieces equal the same calories as one SHOT Energy Gel packet you can go back and forth between each, while easily keeping track of your calorie intake.
CLIF® SHOT BLOKS® Electrolyte Chews have been tested during the winter ski and snowboard season and it was found that the product gets a little firmer, but does not freeze.
For the same reason that Clif do not add protein to SHOT Energy Gel, well-designed studies have not been able to prove that consuming protein during activity has any performance benefits beyond consuming adequate carbohydrate. Furthermore, consuming protein during activity may actually hurt performance by displacing carbohydrate, slowing carbohydrate digestion, and causing digestive distress.
