Boy do I have a review & giveaway for you! I am SO excited to be reviewing PocketFuel! I strongly believe in their products...so much so that I contacted them about doing a review, and they have graciously agreed to allow me to host a giveaway.
I first discovered PocketFuel at my local running store in Memphis, Breakaway Running, when I was training for my first half-marathon. I wanted something "good for me" to refuel with after my long runs. From the first use, I've been hooked! I guess you could say it was "love at first bite/taste"! I never knew I'd like nut butters & almond butters so much. The flavors are so yummy & filling, yet aren't heavy on your stomach. I even converted my husband, who races hare scrambles & enduros (dirtbike racing through the woods & cross-country).
Let me tell you a little about PocketFuel & all their "good stuff".

PocketFuel was kind enough to send me a sample of each flavor to review. I had previously tried Chocolate Haze, Chocolate Smackaroon, and Crunchy Banana Blueberry. You can't go wrong with chocolate (then again...I am a woman)! I thought my favorite flavor was Crunchy Banana Blueberry, but I have discovered there are other contenders.
Here's the order in which I tried the other flavors & my thoughts:
- 1st was Chia Goji & Honey- very subtle flavor with a little crunch from the seeds
- 2nd was Chocolate Espresso- I was kind of nervous about this one since I'm not a coffee drinker. You can smell the espresso & taste a hint of it straight from the package, but once on my bagel I didn't notice it so much. I was pleasantly surprised that I liked it!
- I must admit that I was really nervous about the next two flavors I tried. I didn't know what to expect. 3rd was Pineapple Coconut with bits of pineapple & coconut, and 4th was Chunky Coconut Cherry with bits of cherry & coconut. Let me just say...I think I'm in LOVE! I guess I should never judge a flavor by it's name!
- The last flavor I tried was Vanilla Haze- the texture seemed a little runny compared to the others, but the flavor was really good.
