1/8/2020 Great product

By mxblues98

Love the flavor-just enough caffeine for the long workouts and the best part is
the fact the top stays attached so less chasing of waste when you open it.
Brilliant

8/10/2018 good before a workout

By runnerpaul

Easy to use both before and while running. Only think I can't solve is what to do with the sticky leftover packet while running.

12/1/2016 Clif Shot - Energy Gel, Razz

By Cool Mccoy

Have been using Clif Shot gels for years, I found this product at SwinOutlet and the price was the best of all my searches. The service was fast and the shipping was free. Will order from Swim Outlet when I need to replenish my supply of ClifShot gel.

9/12/2015 Good for long runs

9/8/2013 Turbo Shots

By J

Still my favorite. Great boost fast.

7/18/2013 Awesome stuff

By Paul G

Never gives me any stomach discomfort. I've felt my energy dropping and one of these picks me back up. Love that it's 90% organic.

6/12/2013 Personal favorite

By Sumit B.

I take these on an empty stomach before a workout followed by about 8 oz of water. I'm a huge fan of these. 100mg of caffeine and I like the taste...

The only thing is the consistency. One box was super smooth, the next box I got was a lot thicker. I'd prefer the smoother consistency and I'm not sure why the difference in texture among boxes.

Regardless, if it weren't for the texture inconsistency, I'd give it 5 stars.

4/5/2013 Test before you buy in bulk! Tastes nothing like real coffee.

By Krystina

I am always the type of person who will try something out before buying a large supply--especially with how sensitive my stomach is in general, but also to gels/gus, specifically. I'm training for my first full marathon and am trying to understand what fuels my body, or borderline just makes me ill.

I did my first 16 mile run a few weeks ago, and took the Clif Shot Mocha Energy Gel, which has one shot (50mg) of caffeine. I wasn't fond of the taste at all, and I only take half at a time, but I felt like the caffeine worked wonders, and allowed me to have an awesome run.

I knew I needed more gels asap, and that I liked the Clif brand after having it during my very successful run. So I figured the only thing that could top the mocha gel was a shot from the same Company (Clif), with double the caffeine (100mg) that tastes like coffee. How could you go wrong?! Well, you can. The caffeine felt like it worked, but even after taking the gel with water during the run, it seemed to bother my stomach a bit. And I'm an avid/heavy coffee drinker, so that says something too.

It left a gross aftertaste in my mouth. Now I'm forcing myself to finish the box, although I have about 21/24 packages left. Moral of the story? Mocha isn't that bad, make sure you try all flavors, brands, and varieties (caff/no caff) before purchasing in bulk.

3/18/2013 My go to supplement on longer races...

By W Glover

I am lucky to have found a mid race nutrition that I don't hate. I tested about every flavor and mocha fits best for me. The consistency is fine as long as you add a bit of water (which you should be doing anyways). The litter leash is also helpful, since most are eaten on the go. I would reccomend this product to anyone.

2/27/2013 Another Clif product I have used for years.

By Not-fishing

I keep some in my car for those long drives when I get drowsy.

I also sent a couple of cases of these to my Marine son in Afghanistan to use on Patrol. He shared them with his buddies. They worked great to help them stay awake on those long night operations in Harms Way.

2/14/2013 Clif shots

By Marc

I use clif shots on all my long run. They are easy to open and taste great.

2/3/2013 Tasty too!

By JCurrie

I usually take this on my 8-10 mile runs. I sometimes take it in thirds, every 15 miinutes or so. It works great. I like the taste of this one the best.

12/29/2012 Good but strong

By Rain an

Very strong coffee taste like chewing the beans but good product non the less

11/2/2012 A delicious shot of energy

By Rebecca

I'm a runner. I use this product before and during races. It's a delicious burst of energy. I definitely plan on buying it again from Swimoutlet. They have the lowest price. I hope that start caring other flavors.

9/13/2012 Tasty and works great!

By JR

I tried taking it a third of a packet at a time, instead of as indicated, and just letting it melt in my mouth. It works for me because I'm not as interested in speed as in endurance for now. It works for me. It also tastes great. Bought chocolate this time; I had also tried Double Xpresso. Both taste great.

5/24/2012 New Formula

By Paul

I've always been a big fan of CliffShot and was surprised when they came out with a new formula. I saw no need to improve it, it was already great. Guess what, the new formula is better tasting than the original and it goes down easier too. I've always loved their chocolate flavor and when I saw they were on sale, I bought three boxes.

4/15/2012 Century Ride

By Dustin S.

Used it for my first Century ride of the season. I've done a few 80 mile rides this year but started bonking around the 65 mile mark. So I looked for a lil light pick me up during my rides. Took 3 clif shots with me as well as a clif bar after extensive research on multiple solid, gel and liquid products. Took these every 40 minutes on my ride after the 2 hour mark and they worked to perfection (took clif bar after the 1:15 hour mark (or 25 miles approx). Official time was sub 5 hours with only one 5 minute break to relieve myself. 20.7 mph avg on the bike including a lil slow 15 mph avg the first 3 miles to get out of town. Highly recommend and easy to bite off the top and suck it down. Taste was good as well especially if you're a chocolate/coffee fan.

4/11/2012 It works

By Willians R.

This product really increases my energy while I am working out. I do my repetitions faster and have to rest less between sets when I take it.

By Maryann

Wash it down with a bunch of water and I'm good to go. Gels and goos are the way to go if you're on your bike. I can get these at a lot of places, but you guys have the best price.
