Performance Bites boost your energy levels without loading you up on lots of caffeine and sugar. Caffeine levels are moderate (30mg), added sugar is low (4g), and flavor is out of this world.
Why only 30mg of caffeine?
High doses of caffeine restrict your blood flow and stress your heart. That's the opposite of what you want. Performance Bites work by combining naturally-caffeinated cacao and guarana with electrolytes and pre-workout supplements like beta-alanine and citrulline to boost your energy and endurance.
Performance Bites contain natural vasodilators — ingredients that improve your blood flow by dilating your blood vessels. They allow your heart to efficiently pump blood and oxygen to your muscles, which increases your power output and endurance.
A serving of Performance Bites loads your muscles with electrolytes*, sodium bicarbonate, and Vitamin D to reduce the occurrence of muscle cramps** and lactic acid build up.
* GRIT contains Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium, and Potassium.
** When combined with proper hydration.

Rich in protein, omega-3s, and electrolytes, Performance Chocolate Bites are perfect for helping you stay energized and motivated during your workouts, endurance races, and outdoor adventures. Each serving contains 23 grams of protein, 30mg of caffeine, and high levels of vitamins and minerals. These bites can also be eaten as a recovery snack to boost your energy after an intense workout but we prefer Rejuvenation Bites for post-workout. They don’t contain caffeine and they’re better for replacing lost nutrients and electrolytes and helping your joints and muscle recover after intense physical activity.
- Eat half or a whole bag 45 minutes to support your blood circulation and endurance for your next run or workout.
- Snack on a few bites anytime you need a pick me up and let the caffeine do its work.
- Don't eat right before bed!
- Our bags are resealable so you can eat as much or as little as you want. Don't want 280 calories at once? Then save some for later.
Some ultra-endurance athletes choose to fuel for their races by combining Performance Bites with a high-carb/high sugar source like GU Energy Gels or sports drinks like Gatorade. This provides them with a combination of energizing nutrients and vasodilators from GRIT to help their heart pump blood more efficiently, plus simple carbs and electrolytes from energy gels and/or sports drinks for immediate energy.
Trying to choose between energy gels and sports drinks? Sports drinks provide hydration. They’re like energy gels plus water. Energy gels come in a smaller, lighter package and are easier to carry around. But you’ll still need water to stay hydrated.
Each GRIT bite is nearly the size of a peanut M&M, baked until crunchy, then coated in our lightly-sweetened stone-ground dark chocolate.
GRIT is a nutritious snack made of plant-based protein, natural superfoods, and science-backed supplements. Each bag of GRIT contains about 30 bites that are baked until they're crunchy, and lightly coated in our delicious chocolate or cocoa butter.
