I was not compensated for this post, and I am not affiliated with ENERGYbits. I just really dig them.
I really do. Have you tried ENERGYbits yet? I’d never heard of them until I started this blog about a year ago. Then all of a sudden, I was seeing the hashtag #PoweredByBits everywhere. Runners especially seemed to love these “bits,” whatever they were.
Then the folks at ENERGYbits reached out to me and asked if I’d like to try their product. I learned that “bits” are made from algae – sounds strange, but it’s actually the most natural, green, high protein fuel available. It’s also the most nutritionally dense food in the world, but until very recently its benefits were virtually unknown outside of Asia.
I tried bits, and I loved them. I was #PoweredByBits last fall during the 2013 Jacksonville Marine Corps Half Marathon. You can read my full review here.
ENERGYbits has grown quite a lot since then. Nowadays, they’re the fuel of choice for loads of athletes, runners, triathletes, and active people nationwide. They’ve received endorsements from high-profile athletes like the NHL’s Andrew Ference and three-time USA Olympian David Oliver. And FedEx recently released a pretty cool video about ENERGYbits – check it out here: http://access.van.fedex.com
I’m super-excited to help my friends at ENERGYbits celebrate their 5 year anniversary with a giveaway for you! One winner will receive a free sample of bits to try out.

I have seen a lot about the energy bits but have not had the chance to try them. I am not a huge fan of swallowing that many pills so I would have to get over that hurdle!

I love Energy Bits! I used them for a half last year and just felt great!
