Food Philosophy

Yes, we admit it... we're a company that loves food. We love learning about food, cooking food, talking about food, and especially eating and sharing food.

Good food provides health, joy, and energy, and is a delight to the senses. And food, made right, can make the world a better place.

That's why we use organic ingredients in all our products. Food grown organically - without the use of toxic pesticides or synthetic chemicals - is better for the planet, the body and the soul. And all our food is free of trans fats, hydrogenated oils, and high fructose corn syrup.

We recognize that food matters to our families, our communities, and our planet - as our food choiced affect the physical, social, and environment fabric of our lives.

Q: How do you eat CLIF SHOT Energy Gel?

A: Generally, performance athletes need to consume 200-400 calories per hour from all sources, such as gels, chews, bars and drinks. We recommend consuming one packet 15 minutes before activity, followed by 1-2 packets per hour during activity to help support your needs. For flavors with added caffeine, we recommend one packet 15 minutes before activity and one packet during activity. Consumption of CLIF SHOT Energy Gel should always be followed with a mouthful of water. Caffeinated flavors are not recommended for pregnant women, children, or people sensitive to caffeine.
