GU Energy Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel, 24-Count, Vanilla Bean

I have tried many of the GU energy Gel and the Vanilla Bean is by far my favorite. If you dont really like these energy gels just imagine this one tastes like ice cream. Some of the other flavors arent to my taste but this is the only one I will use on a long run. Recommended advice is to take 1 just 5 mins before starting running then every 45 minutes during a run. This is what I do and gives me the perfect boost to keep going. Its important to train with these rather than just use them during races, and if they give you free energy gels half way through a race and they arent your regular brand dont take them. No need to experiment during a big race - just keep taking what you are used too. If you previously tried GU and are thinking of trying a new flavor then I highly recommend this one.

I like the flavor of this product. It works well on longer bicycle rides. Really gives a shot of energy when you need it.

Me encanto el sabor, tiene un buen equilibrio entre los salado y dulce, es facil de tragar

I like GU. It helps me make it through my intense training days without making me dizzy or giving me heart palpatations the way pre-workout would. I usually take it after my warm-up and cardio are done, for the boost of energy I need to get through my strength routine. These little gels also make it easier to get through morning workouts before breakfast without absolutely crashing halfway through. I love these gels as a workout aid! I have even noticed less muscle soreness since I started using them. However, the flavors available are disappointing. I have bought GU from this seller, but also at a pre-marathon booth and let me tell you... there are 4 times as many flavors as this Amazon seller provides. Where is the Blackberry? Where is the Smores? The Toasted Marshmallow? These flavors of GU are all vastly better than vanilla. The basic flavors are the least pallatable because there is less flavoring to hide the taste of the gel. Please list more flavors!

Salted Caramel is my favorite flavor of GU. Ive tried others, and this one tends to always taste good during a run, whereas others I had to choke down. Just make sure you have water with you after you down one of these. I made the mistake of having a GU and then realizing that my CamelBak was out of water. Not good. You really need to be able to wash these down otherwise it leaves a pretty uncomfortable film in your mouth and throat.

Ive used other electrolyte boosters (bars, drinks, gels, etc.) while running 12+ miles and GU is by far my favorite. I like this source of energy while Im running because it is portable, light on stomachs, and works in about 10 minutes (when taken with water).

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

I have tried a large variety of GU gels (and similar gels made by other brands) over the course of several years of running. Pro: Like all GU gels, these have a nice, liquidy texture that helps swallowing mid-run easier than some of the stiffer gels (Clif!). Con: The Salted Caramel description suggests a nice balance between sweet and salty, but I found the actual flavor to be overwhelmingly sweet and artificial (relative to other GU gels--they all taste artificial to some degree, of course!), and had an off-puttingly cloying tinge to the flavor.

I’ve purchased a lot of GU but wanted to try a new flavor. I was not disappointed with the salted caramel. GU is my go to energy boost before and during any long run and when it tastes good it makes it even better. Love this product!

Ive used many different tastes of GU Original Energy Gels. My favorites are salted caramel and espersso love. They give me the energy I need and my digestive system tolerates them well. The only reason for the missing star is the sweetness, but I think there is no energy gel that is not too sweet for me.
