Training for a first half

"The peanut butter comes through when chewing the bar, while the jelly flavor can be smell can be absorbed and smelled before even taking a bite. The combination makes this bar flavorful and tasty. By alternating between the chocolate and this bar, I don't get tired of either, and the flavor comes in full every time."
"I was genuinely excited to try these, which makes this even more frustrating. I used to like Cadence and came back after about a year off specifically because of these new bars. I regularly use products like this before long runs and races, and I love PB&J flavors—but this is honestly one of the worst-tasting bars I’ve had. If it performs well during a run, that’s great—but the taste is so bad it’s hard to justify using it at all. That completely defeats the purpose of something you’re supposed to rely on before or during effort. This flavor should not have made it to market in its current form. It needs serious work."
"Taste and texture was not good at all. Does the job but would never buy again!"
"It does not taste very good."
"Great taste, amazing product"
"Great for pre run quick energy and I usually pair it with the cherry cola before I run for some great vibes!!!"
"I love the taste of these bars. They are a great snack anytime I need some extra carbs during a workout or bike ride. However, the packaging is terrible. It is so difficult to open which makes it very frustrating during a workout when you don’t have access to scissors. Cadence, please fix the packaging!"
"Great taste to the fuel bar, I was not sure about it at first but the texture isn’t like most companies I buy bars from which is good. I kept reaching for them outside of the times I was using them for training"
"Great bars and great taste. Get everything I need for my long runs"
