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

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!

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 get these for my son who has type1 diabetes , runs daily, and is an endocrinologist. He says that they are such a better solution for low blood sugar than chewing on a bar….

Consistently work for fuel for long runs, no stomach upset and I like the caffeine options.

Finally received order. Missing 1 gu gel. I have 23 instead of 24. I counted them 3 times to be sure.

As an endurance athlete (running, bicycling) I have used many types, brands, and flavors of energy foods. I am partial to GU, as it goes down easy, gives little to no stomach upset, and has a predictable effect on my workout. I was very excited to see the Caramel Macchiato flavor, and had to give it a try. Typically I have days that I want to carry fruit flavors, and days that I opt for the sweets... I could carry the Caramel Macchiato GU any day, and I would be happy. The taste is distinct, yet oddly neutral, it goes down smooth and easy, and has good mouth-feel. It washes down well with water, and if you happen to grab a sports drink accidentally at a water station, it does not give a stomach-churning clash. The gel acts fairly quickly, and does not give a quick crash. If I had to pick just one gel to run or bike with from now on, GU Caramel Macchiato is it!

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

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.

I bought these gel packs to enhance my runs, or try to anyway. I am never overly optimistic with online performance purchases, however I read the reviews and went for it. So glad I did, as they are easy to grab first thing in the morning before I head out on a run. I like that they are small as well. I do not feel as depleted and tired after my exertive event. Great purchase , and will be buying more ASAP.

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