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

Does not taste like meat!

My husband and I used these when we cycle. Its delicious and definitely helps with a boost of energy and to prevent a charlie horse. We prefer this flavor over all the others. We feel the others are too sweet.

Not sending back because I’m using 23 GU’s from this box. Hopefully I’ll be able to remove the detritus from the ‘broken’ GU that has leaked onto the others. Box was in pristine shape but inside the box one of the GU’s broke open leaving a thick gooey mess among the others.

I’m pretty bad at fueling during my long runs and usually procrastinate until I crash. I did an impromptu marathon without running longer than 12 miles in months. I drank a pedialyte the night before as recommended & started fueling around 5 miles. The first GU I took was without caffeine, then every thirty minutes or so I consumed the Espresso Love flavor GU (which has 40g caffeine). I sucked on it over a period of miles (with sips of water) until I finished it. I had 5 or 6 GU’s total for my marathon. I never crashed or hit a wall, although I was running with a friend for their first marathon so I was going slower than usual. I never had GI issues, I believe because I took these slowly. I also alternated between Gatorade & water at the aid stations, focusing more on water because I figured I was getting enough from my GU’s. I’m not a fan of the fruity flavors but I’ll be buying cases of the Espresso Love flavor. I believe they were a big factor in making this marathon go perfectly.

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.

Lots of flavors. Good slorp. Keeps me alive on longer bike rides. One slorp every 10 miles seems to work well.

Not sure if it really gives much energy but it tastes good. Quick and easy to consume while hiking or exercising

I hadn’t tried these and have now tried many flavors and this is just beyond delicious if you love mint chocolate. Super helpful when you need energy on a bike ride or hike.

Great product A++++

Birthday cake is a close second
