Are you a fan of Jelly Belly jelly beans? Unfortunately, we all know that if we are working out, we should still watch what we eat. However, this fact does not mean that you have to go without jelly beans. Jelly Belly came up with a formula just for athletes, called Sport Beans.
Sport Beans are different from your typical jelly beans because they have carbohydrates that are easy to digest to fuel you up, and electrolytes (sodium and potassium) to give keep your fluid levels balanced, as well as B1, B2, B3 and C vitamins to give you energy. The B vitamins will help burn fat and carbohydrates, while the C vitamins will protect the muscles and cells against oxidative damage.
The University of California Davis School of Medicine Sports Program even did a study on the Sport Beans. The result of the study was hat they were just as effective as sports drinks and energy gels when it came to maintaining blood sugar levels and improving performance.
There are two different formulas, the first being your regular Sport Bean formula, and the second being their Extreme Sport Beans. The Extreme Sport Beans are exactly the same, except they have a dose of caffeine in them.
Sport Bean Flavors:
Lemon Lime
Orange
Berry
Fruit Punch
Extreme Sport Bean Flavors:
Cherry
Watermelon
So if you are having a hard time passing on the sweets because you are trying to maintain your fitness, try out a pack of Jelly Belly's Sport Beans, and be prepared to have your sweet tooth fulfilled.
