Nerds Clusters Are Having a Moment 🍬 (But Let’s Talk Fuel That Slays)

Let’s set the scene: Nerds Clusters are trending, candy is out here living its best life, and suddenly everyone’s talking about fueling their runs with vibes straight from the gas station aisle.

Honestly? We love the energy.

But while candy brings the fun, it’s not exactly designed to help you crush your miles—or help you go the distance.

Enter: the ultimate glow-up. You can still get the same candy vibes (yes, even Nerds Clusters!) but with smart, athlete-approved swaps that fuel your body and keep your sweet tooth happy. Here’s your guide to leveling up your candy fuel...

f Nerds Clusters have your heart, Noogs are the sporty, carb-loaded bestie you didn’t know you needed. 

If You Love Rice Krispies Treats → Try Maurten Solid 160

Rice Krispies Treats have that nostalgic, marshmallowy magic, but Maurten Solid has the same satisfying texture, but with the kind of carbs that go the distance. Like, literally.
