IngredientWhy they use itWhy we don't
Natural flavorsA catch-all label term. One "natural flavor" can be a blend of many compounds, plus solvents and carriers that never have to be listed.You can't see what's in it. We'd rather show you the fruit.
SucraloseAn artificial sweetener your body doesn't fully digest.Some research suggests it may affect gut bacteria. We use monk fruit instead.
Silicon dioxideA flow agent added so powder runs smoothly through factory machines.It's there for the factory, not for you. We use bamboo extract instead.
Gums (xanthan, guar, acacia)Cheap thickeners used to make shakes feel creamy.They can cause gas and bloating in some people.

Best Natural Tasting Pre-Workout

I take a 5:30a class, but I’m also super picky about my coffee, so there’s no way I’m getting up early enough to wait for my machine to warm up to pull a shot. That’s where Blud comes in. No shakes or jitters or hyper energy you get with other pre-workouts that just load you up with stimulants so you feel a kick and go “oh awesome, it’s working!” Just natural energy that slowly ramps up my presence of mind and focus without making me feel frantic. I’ll typically start to feel ready in about 25-30, so taking it on the walk to the gym means I feel sharp and present in my body right after the warmup, just in time for the WOD.

Jaime!! Thank you so much for the thoughtful review. You are crushing at the gym!! Keep up the awesome work!!

BLUD is the BEST

“I’ve been using this pre-workout for a few weeks, and it’s been a solid addition to my workouts. The energy boost kicks in within about 20–30 minutes and lasts through my training session without a major crash afterward. The focus is noticeable, and I feel more motivated to push through tougher sets. The flavor is enjoyable and mixes well without leaving clumps.

BLUD keeps me going! 10/10

BLUD is an amazing product. I use it as a preworkout or before I have a loaded morning of demanding clients and patients where I know I’m going to do a lot of manual therapy. Excellent focus and energy without any jitters, shakes or crashing. I LOVE THIS STUFF!

Hi Bianca! Pumped to hear that BLUD keeps you energized and focused without any jitters. Thanks so much for sharing your experience. This review made our day! :-)

Thank you Yojanny! We're so happy to hear Blud helps support your tough workouts! Reach out anytime if you need anything!

Great pre workout! No jitters

Great pre workout! Love the ingredients it has. why pay $4 per can/serving of a common energy drink you’d buy at a store (bad ingredients) when you can get this at just about $2 a serving. Better value, better ingredients. 🙂

Wow thank you Jonsuel!! Happy to hear that you appreciate the clean ingredients in blud. 🙏 We're grateful to have you as a part of the #SteelMonkeyFam !

Check out my Spices 😅

I switched from a notable pre workout to the Steel Monkey about 6months ago. It is great.
I am no super athlete but I am consistent. This pre workout….in two words…it works.
I would add that it helps me manage my blood pressure which is an added plus.

My CrossFit gym (Unbreakable) promotes it and it does not disappoint.

I keep it with my regular spices 😃

Nice Spices George!! Glad you're enjoying the kick from blud :-) We appreciate you.

Superior Preworkout

I’ve been using Blud preworkout for a while now and I’ll never switch back. It definitely keeps me going through even my toughest training days! It doesn’t just make me feel pumped and energized, but I feel more focused and zoned than I did when taking other preworkouts. If you’re like me and think that most of the preworkout on the market taste like a overly saccharine science experiment, Blud is an excellent option to get your buzz without feeling like you’re going to rot out your teeth

Thank you so much Kaitlyn! We started this company because we were fed up with all the 'science experiments' on the supplement market with no healthy alternative. We're glad Blud is helping you push through your tough training sessions.

The perfect pre work out

Definitely a great alternative to all of the other unhealthy products out there. It gave me the perfect amount of energy with out the severe crash and allowed me to work out in a happy and healthy flow that I crave. Totally worth it ! Thank you thank you thank you THANK YOU!!!

Thanks Shaina!! so glad to hear that blud puts you in the happy 'flow' you want. Appreciate you!

The Best “Pusher”

There is only a few things that “push” my ass to go to the gym after working, taking care of 2 kids under 5, and that’s my BLUD . It’s 6pm and I’m debating on going and once I look at that bag I know if I drink it on the way I’ll be ready to go! I’m not a big fan of beets but it grew on me. I highly recommend getting this pre-workout if you want a healthier alternative to getting that “push”!

Keep up the awesome work at home and in the gym Jennifer! Thank you for the great review :-)

The first of its kind that I have encountered and definitely my last stop. A superfood pre-workout with great taste no crash and the perfect dosage.

legit healthy pre-workout

smells like fresh beet when you open the bag, which is a good thing. The powder looks like a blend of fresh ingredients. Tastes like beets with a hint of cherry and other stuff.

Recommended to me by a guy at my gym for high intensity workouts, so far I'd recommend it as well. It gives you a nice alertness and energy boost for your workout without the lame crash feelings after.

More then just a pre workout

I use blud for more then just a pre workout, I have a lot of brain fog since having COVID and this definitely helps with focus not just in the gym but other aspects of life as well. No nasty side effects like you get from the other pre workout drinks that are on the market either.

Hey Scott,
Awesome to hear that blud is helping you focus more both in and out of the gym. Thanks for being a subscribing customer. We appreciate you!

Blud 2.0

After a long day at work, I feel energized after taking Blud to power through a work out. Energized, but not jittery, and no crash afterward. Would recommend to anyone looking for a clean supplement to kick start their day/workout.

Thanks for the review Sami! love hearing that blud helps you get your workout in after work!

Superfoods are legit

I was skeptical at first, but after doing research on the ingredients in blud I decided to order it. Glad I did. I'm officially a believer in lions mane and guarana. I've never felt this sharp before.

I take a scoop of blud in the morning on an empty stomach before the gym and I've been having amazing Workouts on it (I do mainly HIIT and some yoga) My mind feels sharper throughout the day at the office hours after I take blud.

Subscribed.

Hey Paul, glad you did your research! The ingredients in blud were all selected based off extensive research and testing. Yes, lion's mane and guarana are 2 of blud's main ingredients, glad you are enjoying the benefits of blud!

Clean pre, 2 scoops is where is at!

My trial experience, is the focus is amazing! After trying two scoops there isn’t going back! The taste of beet root and pepper I got use to, no aftertaste, which is awesome. Only concern is high on calories per serving, and packaging container it comes in. Other than that the product so far is great, I’ll be subscribing!

Hey Leonardo! Glad to hear you're loving blud and enjoying the superfood benefits. Grateful to have you as a subscribing customer.

High quality ingredients, works great...doesn't mix well

You can tell the ingredients are natural and high quality. I take 1.5 scoops before I workout and get a nice clean energy buzz.

My mind feels clearer too, I think that's the lions mane working.

Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that some of the powder doesn't totally dissolve in water. Otherwise good stuff.

Hey James, thanks for review! Glad to hear the lion's mane in blud is helping you have a sharper mind.

Some of the natural superfood ingredients don't dissolve fully in water, this is because they are not processed and in their natural form.

Thanks for the feedback, we are always looking to improve and make a better product for you!

Constant PRs

Started taking this because I became a little more health conscious about what I put into my body instead of thinking I can just work it off, and the results far exceeded my expectations. This is the only pre workout I will take on days where I am doing long distance cardio or a HIIT session. The reason is it gives me the energy a traditional pre-workout would, without sending my heart rate through the roof. My workouts went from 1 hour max to 1 hour minimum. Highly recommend this product it was made with a lot of thought for the consumer.

Amazing product!!

I’ve tried more pre-workouts in my life then i can even remember but Blud is by far the best. No jitters, just clean energy and the best natural supplements. Highly recommended!!

Jasmin Ranjan
Most focused I’ve been

I like that it’s clean and natural. The increased focus and mental clarity is immediately noticeable.

After trying a bunch of supplements, this will be my go-to pre-workout on those days I need a boost before the gym.
