Jelly Beans help fuel workout?

May 13, 2006 – 9:22 am

I was flipping through Shape magazine and couldn’t help but notice an advertisement for a new sports enhancement product.

They’re called “Sport Beans” and are made by Jelly Belly.

They come in 4 flavors. Lemon Lime, Orange, Berry Blue and Fruit punch.
Here are the “average” nutritional values for a 1 ounce serving:

  • Calories: 100
  • Sodium: 80mg
  • Potassium: 40mg
  • Carbs: 25g

These “beans” also provide 10% of the RDA’s on Vitamin C, Thiamin, Riboflavin, and Niacin.

I haven’t had the chance to try them and see if there’s any health benefit, but it seems to me it’s just a different way to present Jelly Beans in a healthier light.

Any thoughts?
