I contacted the creator, Laura Mildon, of this performance fuel product quite a while ago so that I could do a review and giveaway with it. She quickly responded and sent a package to me of 6 samples in 3 different flavors. I was intrigued just by the name of this fuel.
Makes me think tropical (i.e. delicious) and a bump in my energy.
The three flavors sent to me were
1) Strawberry-Orange (which is the one I sampled)
2) Passion Fruit
3) Blueberry-Pomegranate
All sound delicious and the Strawberry-Orange definitely held up to my standards. The flavor was great and I loved that it was a liquid instead of a gel or chew.
Check out there website here: Island Boost
Seen on the back of the package:
Island Boost is the fastest fuel for your muscles, that delivers electrolytes to help prevent muscle cramping. Guaranteed to eliminate stomach issues associated with strenuous activity.
As stated, I did not experience any stomach issues and I could definitely feel the BOOST in energy. I don't normally get any stomach issues with chews, but I have had upset stomach from gels before. So if this happens to you, you should definitely give Island Boost a try!
Some other things you should know that make this product exceptional:
- The package is tall so that the liquid will sit at the bottom and not spill on you when you tear off the tab at the top. Fold the top over and it's the same size as a packet of Gu - so don't let the size of the package make you think it's actually bigger.
- No maltodextrin - this is the carbohydrate used in most products. It's an artificial, man-made polymerized carbohydrate and for many can upset the stomach. We use glucose as our primary carb and fructose (natural fructose, NOT a jacked up polymerized version that is seen in HFCS)
- Flavored with natural fruit juices
- Great frozen - a refreshing way to refuel on hot training days or to restore electrolytes after a run.
So, to one lucky reader, I will
mail (within the U.S.) one of each flavor!

Performance fuel is my endurance running lifesaver. I've never seen this brand before and would love to try it on my next long training run!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Island Boost! Glad you liked it too! Such a great product!
ReplyDeleteI've never tried Island Boost, but it sounds like something I might like. I use GUs right now on any run of 8+ miles. Generally use a Gu about once every 4 miles or so.
ReplyDeleteI normally use chews on my run but want to branch out and try gu's again. Would love to try these!

ReplyDeleteI use Gu on long runs...take one about 15 minutes before run, then every 4 miles or so (if I'm doing more than 8 miles). I also use RynoPower Supplements.
