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

Does not taste like meat!

A Gu helps me get moving for my masters swim class and also before and sometime during a bike ride. The Espresso Love and the Chocolate are my favorites.

This is advertised as cola but it doesnt taste anything like i was expecting. Not that gels are culinarily amazing but these are pretty nasty. Almost like a chocolate gu was mixed with lemon lime. I would recommend you try a single packet before buying like this idiot. On the positive note... the texture is thin and much better than others such as clif shots

My husband and I ordered these in the midst of marathon training. The GU takes a while to get used to... initially the gel made me gag, but after a couple tries, I had the technique down and always look forward to GU time on my long runs. This GU gives you enough energy to push over your wall and keep running. I prefer GU to other energy gels like Glukos energy gel (which is really a liquid and I always spill it or choke on it). The espresso flavor is my favorite (and Ive tried them all), its like a dessert mid-run :)

Some flavors taste fake to people with good taste buds. Product is really just a mixture of things you cant pronounce, and probably dont want to stick in your body, but it works as intended, and makes my cycling trips go a lot better. TBH, you could probably drop a multivitamin, and a couple tablespoons of honey into a coffee mug and probably get the same effect, but then you have more dishes to wash and a higher chance of getting your car messy.

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 tried other things before this that were meh and bleh and didnt really do what I needed. THIS however, is absolutely amazing and I seriously wouldnt run without it. Tasty. Very tasty. And it really works. I feel it kick in, literally, and Im good to go. No bonk. No hyper rush. Just good and steady necessaries for the workout.

These things are fantastic. My wife and I carried several of them with us when we ran our first half marathon, and Im convinced there were times that these were the only things keeping us going. The flavors are great, personally I like the chocolate and coffee flavors best but my wife loved the caramel and vanilla so everyones happy! This pack came with a ton of them too, we carried quite a few with us to the half marathon and there were a lot left over so I took some to work to get me through night shift. These little guys pack quite a punch, and I was surprised by how much energy I got from one little pouch, and the energy didnt wear off too fast either. Highly recommended for runners or anyone living on caffeine and looking for a better alternative to guzzling energy drinks all night when youre too tired to be operating heavy machinery but still are expected to do so.

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.

High recommended for cycling and intense workouts
