I have been really really hungry the past couple of days and PocketFuel has really helped make a difference. I wish I had brought more. On the hot days I don’t want a Snicker’s Bar or anything super sweet. PocketFuel works great for this type of hiking. Squeeze in mouth and go. Any energy type bars that have type of chocolate or gooey stuff in turns to mush in the hot sun. With PocketFuel, all that messiness goes away.

As a professional athlete, I’ve tried every energy food there is. They are one of two things- sugar packaged in some kind of “healthy” advertising, or “healthy” that tastes like dirt. PocketFuel is something COMPLETELY different. A few whole ingredients in awesome combinations that gives me a huge, sustained boost. When I fly, PocketFuel is as important as oxygen or my vario, especially as the miles and hours add up. But it’s also become part of my every day sustenance. In other words, it’…

I wanted to send a quick note to thank you for creating such an awesome product! I have had the pleasure of testing out many of your fantastic flavors after purchasing a variety pack from Zombie Runner. As a gluten free endurance athlete who eats a very clean diet, it can be difficult for me to find products that are nutritious, not riddled with unhealthy ingredients, and – most importantly – keep me running strong. I’ve used PocketFuel with great success during some of my more challenging…

Pocket fuel is good for me as a diabetic because it is high in protein so it slows down the sugar absorption and keeps my blood sugars more stable. I use juice shots for lows and have always played a high/low game when competing due to adrenalin and stress. I sipped on the PocketFuel packet (love that I can close it) and never was low, even though I had already completed the bi-athalon (2 mile run/2 mile down river race) and also had 4 slalom runs to do that day in the 97 degree weather! My su…

Climbers are health conscience and energy focused athletes. It’s crucial to stay fueled in the mountains. Without the proper level of energy the potential to summit diminishes. PocketFuel has become as trustworthy and essential as any piece of equipment I use to get to the top. To me Pocketfuel is a whole lot more edible and manageable than conventional nutritional bar especially when my blood and adrenaline get going and I get gripped on a big wall. The pouches are easily thrown into a …

It is some great stuff! It is a little more spendy … but better tasting, and refillable packets! Also, while a 1.2oz ClifShot has 100calories, a 3oz PocketFuel contains around 425 calories — but the calories are more nutritionally whole, and has protein & fat – so it is not just a sugar/electrolyte gel…it is FOOD with extra electrolytes added! … Mark Ribkoff (owner/proprietor) was very responsive & helpful over email, the order shipped very quickly, and I am a happy camper!

Spooled. Spent. Rocked. Thirty five minute paddle out at Del Mar Rivermouth… one wave… broken leash… Charge up the coast for a spot with a channel… but I have no energy… I left it all at the Rivermouth… Powered a PocketFuel on the way up the coast and spent three more hours in the water… then powered another on the way home… Thanks PocketFuel folks! I ripped ‘em open and got ALL the goop!

PocketFuel Review on The Cupcake Triathlete

Who WOULDN’T love to read a blog with a name like The Cupcake Triathlete! Miranda sent us an email a while ago and while we get lots of requests from bloggers her story really resounded with me. Miranda is not only a baker, business owner and mom but also a triathlete and as a hypoglycemic, she knows all too well the challenges of fueling yourself properly not only in day to day life but also as an athlete.

PocketFuel has experience with a number of diabetics (one of whom is AWEsome Kayaker ) and people with fueling challenges so I was excited to have Miranda get to know our product and review us…. read on to see what she has to say. And be prepared to smile! I like her sense of humor!

Product Review – PocketFuel

Sponsored post. All opinions are my own. FTC disclosure – free product was provided to blogger for the purpose of review.

Fueling and nutrition are a challenge for every endurance athlete. Ask any set of triathletes, and you will get as many different strong opinions on what works best as there are people. Everyone is different – there is no one-size-fits-all formula for proper nutrition. On long workouts, say over an hour, it becomes even more critical. The traditional wisdom is to consume a large meal with balanced carbs and protein a few hours before a race (or long workout), and a small easily digestible carbohydrate snack 30 minutes prior. Then fuel every 45 to 60 minutes with more carbs. Most sports products like GU gels, Huma Gels, Shot Bloks, and Gatorade offer a mix of electrolytes, naked sugar, and sometimes caffeine.

This is all well and good for people with normal blood sugar. Bear with me – here comes the science (finally that Masters in Biology is good for something!). Most people are familiar with insulin, the hormone secreted by the pancreas that moves sugar from the blood into cells where it can be utilized. This is what diabetics are missing, so that sugar accumulates in their blood without reaching the target cells.
