GU Energy Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel, 24-Count, Assorted Indulgent Flavors

I use Gu as my go to snack when I ride my bike along the American River a Bike Trail. Along with Luna Bars they give me good energy and are easy on my stomach. The Gu packs have a mild taste and taste good to me. I can feel the caffeine kick from this particular flavor when I’m riding.

I’m a fan of GUs to begin with and love them for my longer bike rides, but this has to be the best flavor ever!!! They’re like eating a melty GS cookie! What a treat! Love love love them!

I hadn’t tried these and have now tried many flavors and this is just beyond delicious if you love mint chocolate. Super helpful when you need energy on a bike ride or hike.

Here is what I liked: • Affordable • Good taste (not too sweet, like some GUs) • Energy for long runs • Minimal GI distress while consuming on the run I didnt care too much for: • The taste has a synthetic after-taste. You can tell it was made in a factory, not with love.

Muy rico

Well hello there, folks! I just gotta tell you about these GU Energy Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gels. Theyre like a box of chocolates, ya never know what flavor youre gonna get! But let me tell ya, theyre all delicious! Ive tried em all and they give me a burst of energy that makes me feel like I can run forever. And the best part is, theyre easy to carry with ya while youre runnin or doin any kind of exercise. The flavors are indulgent, just like Mamas homemade apple pie. They got Vanilla Bean, Chocolate Outrage, and even a fruity one called Jet Blackberry. And with 24 in a box, I can keep runnin and runnin and never run out of energy! So if ya wanna keep goin like me, get ya self a box of these GU Energy Gels. Theyre a true winner, just like me in that cross-country race!

Ive been using these for whenever I go on a run longer than 8 miles. The taste isnt amazing, but its the best Ive tried so far, and I love the little extra caffeine boost! I take one a while before starting the run, and then usually take another one about halfway through, before I start losing energy. Dont put the empty packet into your pocket though, because its not really empty and will harden to the inside of your pocket and be a total pain to clean out. You just have to carry it with you until you come across a trash can.

I have used energy gels for over 10 years for a variety of race distances in running and cycling. It helps when you use one prior to a race and then I continue using additional gels every 40-45 minutes until I finish my race. The Caramel Macchiato has a nice taste and doesnt overpower you with the coffee taste. The amount of caffeine is very good for long or intense workouts, whereas on shorter runs, I use gels with 25 mg of caffeine. I can finish my exercises without feeling drained. Be sure to hydrate! The only drawback is this flavor does not have a litter leash as the Clif Shot gels have.

I use it for my ultra trail runs. I am quite satisfied.

Love the flavor!
