Item # CLF0009
Item # CLF0009Easy to carry, tasty, and full of nutrition.
Variety is the spice of life -- we couldn't agree more. We understand ('cause we've been there) that after numerous hours of training and racing, the body needs to mix it up a little in terms of what goes in the tank. That's why the folks at Clif Bar set out to create another energy food option that complements their bars and gels. The result is Clif Shot Bloks. They're simple-to-handle, easy-to-chew, and provide similar nutrition to Shot gel, so they'll fit seamlessly into your training and racing nutrition program.
The primary ingredient for Shot Bloks is brown rice syrup which provides easily assimilated carbohydrates for working muscles, and they provide the mineral salts known as electrolytes. These electrolytes allow electrical impulses to travel properly throughout your body, permitting normal bodily function. When you sweat, you start to deplete your electrolyte stores and experience potential performance decline, so it's best to help replenish them through food and fluid intake.
Clif created Shot Bloks, each in a 10g size, so that 3 Bloks provide 100 calories. That makes it easy to track caloric intake during long outings. There are 6 Bloks to a single serve package, so one package provides 200 calories.
In one order of Shot Bloks you'll get 18 individual 6-Blok packages. The individual packages slide easily into your jersey pocket for quick access while taking up minimal space. This design also keeps it simple to squeeze the Bloks directly into your mouth for single handed re-fueling. Bloks are available in Black Cherry, Cola, Orange, Margarita, Cran Razz, Lemon Lime, Mountain Berry and Strawberry. Black Cherry and Cola have 50mg caffeine, Orange has 25mg. Margarita has 3x the sodium while the remaining Shot Bloks offer no additional stimulants. Please be forewarned that you're all-but-certain to get terribly addicted. For all of their nutritional value, they are candy on the palate. In our experience it's the first athlete-focused food you'll ever need to protect from the non-athletes in your life.

William BowenGearheadBOMBER Bloks!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These are the absolute best! Great for when you need a little boost to help get you through the rest of the day. I carry these everywhere I go. Throw a couple in your pack and you are set for a full day out in the backcountry. Salted Watermelon and Black Cherry are my favorites.
Michael MartinoEmployeeGreat for that extra energy boost!

I primarily use the Clif Shot Bloks while training or long distance runs and they provide an extra boost of energy and they taste great!

The perfect mid activity snack. Biking, hiking, skiing, taking out the garbage, everything you do, these taste great and give you the energy you need to make it!

I use these for long training & long race days. They always do the trick for me & I have never had any stomach issues with them. I dig the Black Cherry with caffeine flavor.
hillary benjaminEmployeeAlways a staple
I’ve been eating these for years and they’re great. They don’t upset my stomach and can even settle an upset stomach. I prefer strawberry.

My son is getting into mt. biking more and joined the high school team, he loves to have these with him on rides and even at the races.
They stick well to his frame for easy access during the race:)
Shawn CraigEmployeeEasy to eat, tastes good
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I use these because they're easy to access and eat on a bike. My favorites are the salted watermelon, which have the benefit of providing some electrolyte function as well as easy to digest sugar. I also like the Tropical Punch with caffeine for the extra boost.
I'm a diabetic and these have been super handy when I've needed a quick boost to my blood sugar. Two blocks are about 15 g of carbohydrate.
Angelina WongEasy & Effective
I open the package a little and keep the whole sleeve in the back pocket of my running shorts. I can reach for them one by one as I run or carry the sleeve next to my water bottle. Taste is pleasant, does not make me thirst and I never had a tummy upset. Easier to dispose or carry home the packaging compared to gels where you have to open then on the run, get hands sticky and the empty packets are messy to carry if there is no bin in sight.

Clif makes the best chews. My favorite part about them is the shape of the package. Easily fits in a back jersey pocket for riding. They also have great flavors. My favorites are salted watermelon, margarita, and mountain berry.

I use these throughout my rides to keep my energy up. They are very easy to digest and easy on my stomach. I have even used them to fuel a century ride.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I always keep a big stock of all of the Cliff products. The bars have a great flavor and digest easily and are packed with lots of energy. The Shot blok are great for on the fly energy when you need an extra boost and don't have time to stop in the middle of an event.
Jason TrueEmployeeGo to Nutrition on the Bike

Sophie ShinskyEmployeeSwitching it up!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These are perfect if you are tired of having gels and want something more solid. I find they give me a lot of energy and I actually enjoy every favor...which is hard to believe since I am fairly picky. Try the orange with caffeine for an extra boost!
Jessica CallisterGearheadMountain Berry Deliciousness!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Whatever your outdoor needs are, these Clif bloks will help you get through the day with optimal energy and no crash. They are easy to pack and so yummy to eat. Use it for any activity you need a little extra boost. The full bar is not needed. I pop one cube in before a hike, during, and then after. I have also left them in my car by accident in 100 degree weather FYI. No sticky mess! #winning

JB GrahamGearheadBest Trail Boost
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love these energy chews, especially the caffeine version. They taste great, are easily digestible, and perfect for a quick boost of energy on the trail or long climb. Lots of great flavors to choose from as well!
Steven RozendaalExcellent source of energy
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is my go to product for long bike rides. It provides great energy and is easy on your stomach. I recently used this product along with a couple regular cliff bars on a century ride around Bear Lake, UT and it worked perfectly. It provides calories, carbs and electrolytes eliminating the need to consume three different products and I highly recommend this product.
