Its so hydrating, if I have a headache I now drink this stuff instead of taking ibuprophen and 90% of the time must be hydration related cuz the headache goes away. I am trying to go more natural in what I eat and drink, so I tried it, but took some getting used to. My daughter is a HUGE fan of Belvita!

I haven't really branched out and tried other drink options besides standard H20 and Gatorade/Poweraid, but that's something I may have to give a go one day. I've found what works for you as a runner is very personal when it comes to fueling options, but once you find the right combo you are good to go! Clif Bars are my favorite of the energy bars but I prefer the dryer more standard granola bar taste like you mentioned. :) Fueling is so important and I'm glad there are so many options and tastes to choose from now! :)Random Running Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06622636107040805878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-54348361458831755022014-08-19T10:24:53.542-04:002014-08-19T10:24:53.542-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Random Running Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06622636107040805878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-83955808057478830792014-08-19T10:12:50.842-04:002014-08-19T10:12:50.842-04:00I've actually been drinking more and more Gato...I've actually been drinking more and more Gatorade lately.
