High recommended for cycling and intense workouts

I absolutely love the coffee flavors! Best I have ever had!!

Love this. Im one of those rare women that can live without chocolate. Yet when I do indulge, I tend to go for the after-dinner chocolate mints or peppermint patty-type of candy. I dont use the packets. I have the coordination of a drunk bear and after cutting my lip trying to open a packet, I bought one of those flasks that you can add sports gels to.This is great. I also like the GU Chocolate Outrage, but this one is more liquidy whereas the Outrage has the consistency of icing, which is okay, but not when someone (me) needs a sugar boost. This has the consistency of chocolate syrup. The flavor is perfect. I have this on monthly order through Amazon for the simple reasons that a) its rare that you can find this flavor in sports stores, and b) my husband treats this like candy.

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.

Love this stuff when riding long distances on my bike, great flavors, huge fan of the chocolate!

I am not a big fan of the taste, but then I dont really like any sports drinks or gels - too sweet. I can get them down though, and we took these on a recent backpacking trip where they were awesome. I tend to not feel hungry when I am working hard and so while everyone else seemed happy to tuck into a big lunch when we are hiking all day, I feel like I can barely choke something down. These things were great for a little midday energy boost when I didnt feel like eating much. Ive also liked them for a quick bump of energy when we are out on a long bike ride. I found they go down best with lots of water, which is a bonus as it reminds me to hydrate. Overall, from someone who isnt a fan of these types of products, I really like them and will definitely buy again.

Great taste and excellent balance of nutrition for a good price. These are hard to find in retail locations so great to find here and in quantity so you dont have to worry about running out. Pop in your pocket and after 30-45 minutes they give you a boost to finish .

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.
