GU Energy Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel, 8-Count, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Kosher, and Dairy-Free On-the-Go Energy for Any Workout, Raspberry Lemonade

This is my go to for fuel during a race! It does have a thick consistency so it is best used with water to help with that. It has a great chocolate flavor without that artificial flavor after taste. It’s so easy to use so it won’t slow you down on the go. The caffeine is just right if used as instructed. I recommend using during training runs to see what works best for you come race day. They are a great price compared to what I see at most expos. I recommend buying prior!

This product is a GAME CHANGER! I am an avid triathlete and started using these during races. Let me tell you… It dropped my times tremendously. I normally run an 8:45:mile. When I started using these, My mile time decreased to 8:15. I then started using them to train and I noticed the difference in energy level.The functionality is great as I can tape a packet to my bike handlebar during race.The caffeine isn’t an issue for me and love the taste! Tri- Berry is my FAVORITE!

This stuff tastes exactly like a little shot of chocolate pudding, which was a pleasant surprise - and honestly makes it way easier to take than most energy gels. It’s a small amount of gel for a good amount of energy - I use one before roller derby practice and it gives me the boost I need without upsetting my stomach or tasting like regret. Buying the bulk packs makes it way more affordable but the price is well worth it for the energy boost.Great texture, great taste, and it actually works. Can’t ask for much more in a gel!

I love that this flavor it's not overwhelmingly sweet, which have been my biggest issue with gel packs in the past. The texture is as to be expected and the quality if great. Had not problems ripping it open during a race and I would say it's a great value for the money. Would recommend to those who like fruity flavours but had feeling like gaging from all the sugar when eating them in a race.

I purchased the orange cream Roctane before, and I decided to try this since the Roctane worked so well. While the results were similar-- helped me stay awake for a little while longer-- the taste was more intense this time. At first I thought it tasted like chocolate pudding, then the fructose kicked in and I was wishing I had a carton of milk because it reminded me of chocolate syrup. This would actually be pretty good as an ingredient in a super caffeinated mocha, but straight out of the packet it was too much for me.

My son sent me these, we're both fitness people, he's a runner, I'm a cyclist.I eat one before my bike ride and it definitely gives me more pep, I think it even makes me go faster, although I might be imagining it.Taste good, a little expensive, but that's OK.I keep a supply all the time now and eat one before each bike ride.Treat yourself to these if you're serious athlete. You'll be happy you did.

This is my favorite flavor. They really help during the run and are easy to open and go down easily. Some of the flavors are thicker and can be difficult. I don't have anyway of proving it but I see an improvement in my times and recovery when I use GU during my runs.

I always keep at least one of these caffeinated guys in my bag. The caffeine is just right to keep you going but not cranked. It's is balanced against the other ingredients so you can have one now, and have one in an hour after cranking up a mountain on a bike and your sugars and caffeine will stay nicely balanced. I'm glad the price for GU is still good.
