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

The ease of use and the results within a few minutes keep me using these gels. I ride bicycles hard (20+ Mph) for 2-3 hours at a time. These gels help a quick recovery during the ride.

I have trained for 3 marathons. ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE THINGS. I cant handle the vanilla or any other flavor but this mint one. They boost my energy and keep me running. Store easily in my water belt and I also sometimes tuck them in my bra strap. If you are a runner, you know what places we can fit things. Tear open easily while Im running, even with sweaty hands (I dont stop to open them). Cant rave enough about how great these things are. I know there are a lot of different types of energy gel brands, but if you are trying one out for the first time, try these!

I havent tried too many of the other gel products on the market, so this review may not have much context. However, the Gu gels have been great for my needs. I first tried the sampler pack, with a variety of gel flavors, and settled on the Espresso Love flavor. Im currently training for the Chicago Marathon, and Ive had Gu with me since my first long run of 6 miles. I recently finished a 20 mile run with 4 gels in my fuel belt, and Ill say that these things are a necessity for any run over an hour. The espresso flavor is pretty tasty and has a bit of a savory flavor. Recommended if you are a runner logging long miles.

Me encanta usarlo en mis corridas de MTB. Muy buen suplemento

Great energy food before running or working out.

Tasted about like you would think. Not too sweet considering its pure glucose gel. As a type 1 diabetic getting back into mountain biking I go through these things pretty fast on the trail. Usually 3-4 per 1 hr ride and I dont seem to have any issues with digestion or too much aftertaste. I would recommend following with a few slugs of water to clear the palate after or your mouth can get pretty sticky and dry as one might expect when drinking a couple tablespoons of jelly/honey. If you need instant energy/blood sugar like I do then these do the trick and taste great.

My new favorite flavor of GU!! It used to be Mocha.... now it is definitely Caramel Macchiato. It tastes just like a sweet shot of coffee. I am a triathlete and use these during workouts and races. I consume one within the first 30 minutes of biking (after the swim). If its an half Ironman race, Ill consume two during the bike leg. I have yet to attempt slurping one down during the run (fear of choking, I guess?), but I know many who do with success. :) Again.... Caramel Macchiato.... YUM!

When I was in college forever ago, I worked nights at a now defunct sporting goods store that sold Gu. I loved them so much to help give me a boost of energy to push through 2 jobs and a full time course load. I was so surprised when i came across them on Amazon, 2 kids and a lot of big training goals later. I hoped and hoped they tasted as good as they did back in my college days, and they did not dissapoint. I love how every flavor is still super sweet like frosting with such a little amount of sugar. They still taste great and provide sustained energy with no jitters. As a bonus, I absolutely love that they are thicker and less runny now then they were back then. They are so much easier and less messy to eat. In these crazy times, its good to know that you can still rely on Gu.

Not sure if it really gives much energy but it tastes good. Quick and easy to consume while hiking or exercising

I bought this variety pack because I didnt want to commit to any one flavor before I had an opportunity to try them all. I think the word Indulgent in the descriptor is a bit misleading. Heres my review of the flavours: 1. Vanilla Bean- Not great, but better than the birthday-cake flavored gels from the same company (not in this variety pack, thank god). 2. Salted Caramel- SO. SWEET. Even on my longest run, this was inedible because of how sweet it was. Im really unsure of how they achieved this, because none of the others are this unpalatably sweet. 3. Caramel Macchiato- better than the Salted Caramel flavor. Not my favorite of the bunch, but not the worst. 4. Chocolate Outrage- This was definitely my favorite and I can honestly say that I LIKED it. Tasted just like brownie batter. 5. Espresso Love- Also one of the better flavors! It really does have a nice espresso taste to it that isnt too strong, nor too sweet, but pretty satisfying! Overall, I do recommend this product especially if youre not sure what flavors you want to rely on when youre dying on your long runs or hardest and longest workouts. Theyre also gluten-free, vegan, and caffeinated to boot!
