GU Energy Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel, 24-Count, Salted Caramel

Been using clif shots and thought Id try these out as they seem like they might have a better balance of items. The Gu tastes odd, definitely not of vanilla. Might try another type, but Clif have all tasted better.

These are hands down the best trail chowder I have ever consumed! I have been an avid mountain biker since 1990 and have eaten uncountable quantities of nasty sawdust bars, puke flavored bars (see Pro Bar), lumpy gag inducing goo packs, fruity heartburn slime and other varying grotesquiries. These are actually so yummy I crave them when I am not bonking on my bike... Thank you Gu, you have finally made something so tremendously tasty that I actually look forward to trail food time.

I used it for more energy, it gave me a little more

This flavor of GU is the only flavor I like. I do like the vanilla Cliff band as well. It can be difficult finding a gel to like as it is messy, sticky, and a bit thick to swallow. However, I find that this one is not overly sweet and has a pleasant enough flavor that I can swallow it during a race rather quickly. It does help me with not feeling light headed and gives me continue energy. Of course you do need to eat multiple ones during long races/training times.

I have tried most flavors of Gu over the past 7 years. I really like many of their varieties and can tolerate almost any flavor. However, once they introduced this salted caramel version, it instantly became my favorite! It truly tastes like a melted version of salted caramels! I was thrilled when GU decided to make it available year-round rather than just one of their seasonal flavors. A year later, its still my favorite!

this product 0ffers a quick blast 0f energy when needed to push through a low spell.

Dont really like the taste, but definitely gives you an energy boost to get you through an afternoon or whatever youre taking it for. May try another flavor in the future

I like the convenience and ease of use of GU Energy gels. The flavors are fine and they dont take up much space in my jersey pockets. I generally use 2 or more on rides of 1.5 hours or longer.

No weird aftertaste. Actually tastes like vanilla.

These work very well for me on long runs, including marathon training and marathon races!
