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

I bought these first at the store, single packets, and I started using them before my ride home after work. Usually by that time, after 10 hours, I am a little tired anyway, but I have found these give me that much more energy I need to go the distance without tiring before I get home, especially when the temperatures get really hot, high 90s to over 100 degrees. But I also work out with free weights. So one day when I was doing my leg workout, I did my sets of squats before the leg extensions etc., then decided I wanted to do some more squats. So I took a gel about 15 minutes before I was going to tackle it again and found I had a surge of energy to do 4 more sets with heavier weights, after my leg exts. So yes, these work quite well. The flavors I love the most are Espresso Love , (strange name but great taste) vanilla and chocolate outrage. But that is my preference since I am a lover of chocolate, and like who isnt? Another note, or update, (4-30-2011), I often use these after my workout (with weights) as an energy boost and recovery. Sometimes during a workout for the extra energy, but most likely to use it after. It works great, and at only 100 calories, it is just the right amount. The box is cheaper than buying the singles at the store, so for me it is the best way to go. I am sure there are other sports that could benefit from these gels. Buy it on Amazons subscription, and the price drops even more.

I love the variety of flavors and these are excellent pre-workout in the morning before the gym. I definitely feel an energy boost and I am not as sore as I am without it. If youre not used to these gels, they can initially be a turn-off, but now I love it. This is my favorite energy supplement so far.

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.

I like IPAs so I took a chance on the Hoppy Trails flavor. Turns out it’s a really bad combo and I’m dreading choking down the remaining 23, at which point I’ll replace them with the indulgent assortment. Dear GU: Please offer a super mix pack with one of every niche flavor so we can try everything out without committing to trying it 24 times.

100% Los recomiendo

I have used energy gels for over 10 years for a variety of race distances in running and cycling. It helps when you use one prior to a race and then I continue using additional gels every 40-45 minutes until I finish my race. The Caramel Macchiato has a nice taste and doesnt overpower you with the coffee taste. The amount of caffeine is very good for long or intense workouts, whereas on shorter runs, I use gels with 25 mg of caffeine. I can finish my exercises without feeling drained. Be sure to hydrate! The only drawback is this flavor does not have a litter leash as the Clif Shot gels have.

i ride bikes and in the middle of the session I always squeese on of these. they are great and give you a little lift up on energy

The flavor is the best out of all others. I bought the variety pack and this was my favorite. The only problem is that the consistency is very thick. This causes me to drink more water than normal.
