Green Apple Sport Beans has a surprisingly tart and sweet flavor that doesn't distract the athlete from his or her training. While Juicy Pear is a mouthwatering treat to the taste buds. Both flavors are filled with the right amount of carbohydrates, electrolytes, and vitamins needed for extended exercise of 60 minutes or more.

Juicy Pear and Green Apple join Sport Beans flavors of Lemon Lime, Orange, Berry and Fruit Punch and the Extreme Sport Beans^®, a caffeinated variety, available in Pomegranate, Watermelon and Cherry.

The popularity of the Sport Beans jelly beans among cyclists, triathletes, marathon runners and fitness buffs prompted the company to update the Sport Beans jelly beans line with new flavor profiles.

Scientifically formulated for sports performance, Sport Beans jelly beans provide 25 grams of carbohydrates for fuel, electrolytes to maintain fluid balance and vitamins to help burn carbs and fat and protect muscles against oxidative damage.

Consuming carbohydrates and electrolytes during exercise lasting about 60 minutes or longer prevents fatigue and boosts performance, according to many scientific studies and the American College of Sports Medicine, a leading professional organization on sports performance.

Each of the nine flavors of Sport Beans are packaged in 100-calorie single serving packets for portable power before, during and after exercise. The variety provided by nine flavors allows athletes to select a favorite or to enjoy the range, escaping taste monotony.

Sport Beans are available in sporting goods stores, running and cycling shops and major grocery chains across the country. Available online at www.SportBeans.com or call the Jelly Belly Hotline at 800-522-3267. Follow Sport Beans on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/SportBeansUSA.
