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

I get these for my son who has type1 diabetes , runs daily, and is an endocrinologist. He says that they are such a better solution for low blood sugar than chewing on a bar….

Lots of flavors. Good slorp. Keeps me alive on longer bike rides. One slorp every 10 miles seems to work well.

I love the variety of flavors and these are excellent pre-workout in the morning before the gym. I definitely feel an energy boost and I am not as sore as I am without it. If youre not used to these gels, they can initially be a turn-off, but now I love it. This is my favorite energy supplement so far.

So yummy! I prefer this and the chocolate one over the fruity flavors. Tastes like dessert!

Easy to carry and use during workouts.

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 like IPAs so I took a chance on the Hoppy Trails flavor. Turns out it’s a really bad combo and I’m dreading choking down the remaining 23, at which point I’ll replace them with the indulgent assortment. Dear GU: Please offer a super mix pack with one of every niche flavor so we can try everything out without committing to trying it 24 times.

I do triathlons and IRONMANS and GU is by far my go to. Some people dont like the texture or that you need to drink water with it. I love it for those reasons. Its not like a drink so a little chewing but I like that and the water I rinse swoosh it around and it give me the energy I need.

Admittedly, the “thicker” flavors are a bit more difficult to get down, especially if the get cold. But I’ve adapted to it. I’m not sure there’s a Gu flavor I don’t like. I’ve been using them for years and will continue to. I also like that they participate in the TerraCycle zero-waste program.
