Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Kosher, and Dairy-Free On-the-Go Energy for Any Workout, 24-Count, Assorted Fruity Flavors

I wasn’t sure how much of a difference these gels would make, but they actually work pretty well. The flavors are fruity and not too sweet, and they’re easy to eat on the go without feeling gross or sticky. They give a noticeable energy boost during workouts, and I like that they’re vegan and gluten-free. The packaging is convenient, so you can just toss one in a bag or pocket. Overall, they do exactly what they’re supposed to do.

I'm a relatively new long distance runner, and as I started to push out to 1+ hour runs, I knew that I would need something to take while on the trail to keep me going. Everywhere I looked, Gu was the #1 recommended running gel and to me, seems to be the least expensive. I'd heard that some of the flavors can sometimes cause stomach issues, so I chose to get this sample pack to try out and see how I liked it. The package comes with the following flavors: Mandarin orange: By far my favorite of the group, the light orange flavor of this gel went down easily and left a light aftertaste that was not unpleasant. The taste came across as authentic and didn't taste fake at all, without the sugary sweetness I really dislike. Lemon Sublime: My second favorite, this has the taste of light lemonade, again with an aftertaste that was not unpleasant Salted Watermelon: I'm not a fan of artificial watermelon flavors, so I'll admit that I was not looking forward to this one, however it left me pleasantly surprised! The watermelon flavor was light and smooth and I actually enjoyed it a lot. Strawberry banana: This one tasted like Yoplait strawberry yogurt to me. I'm not a fan of artificial banana flavor either, but this one didn't give me that fake banana impression. Jet Blackberry: Picture a an intense blackberry jam, but without the high sugar content. This tasted almost like pie filling and was really enjoyable. Overall, I felt that not only was the flavor of the packets pretty great, I definitely felt a nice energy boost during my runs. The caffeine content didn't build to an intolerable amount over time and I definitely can see usage for marathons and beyond. One note here, the packet recommends that you take it 5 minutes before every 45 minute mark (i.e. at 00:40, 00:85, etc), as well as one five minutes before starting but I took these every thirty minutes during my runs (and none before). I didn't feel any negative effects to this, so I definitely think its fine to do so, just experiment with what works for you. I've been wholeheartedly recommending these to my friends and I definitely do to you as well.

I started my running journey using these. I think they are a great, easy option to start with. They were easy on my stomach but I am not super sensitive. I liked the variety pack so that I could figure out which flavors I prefer. I think they were good to fuel and not too sweet.

Great for if you are looking to increase your prepping stock. Has a film that taste like glue. But has a lot of good nutrients. It is easy to queue oit and the packaging is nicely put together.

As an avid endurance athlete, I've tried my fair share of nutrition products, but GU Energy Gel has truly become a staple in my training regimen. These gels are everything your endurance training ordered! The texture is smooth, making it easy to consume during long runs or bike rides without the sticky mess some other gels leave behind. What I appreciate most is the variety of flavors—there's something for everyone, from the refreshing taste of Salted Caramel to the zesty Raspberry. Each packet provides a quick boost of energy, delivering carbohydrates and electrolytes precisely when you need them. I've noticed a significant difference in my performance and recovery when incorporating GU into my routine. Moreover, I love that they are easily digestible, which is crucial during intense workouts. I never experience the stomach issues I’ve faced with other products. The resealable packaging is also a plus, allowing me to carry a few without worrying about spills. Overall, GU Energy Gel is a thoughtfully designed product that meets the demands of endurance training. Whether you're training for a marathon or tackling a challenging cycling route, these gels will keep you fueled and ready to conquer your goals. Highly recommended!

Great flavors, I personally did not experience any gastrointestinal stress that many report having with these kind of supplements. Used them all summer for my long endurance rides and runs, would buy again.

Great gels. Will order again

I love Gu gels and these are a great value to try out all the different flavors. I just wanted to change it up between rides. Gels are thick and carb dense and these are no exception. Good flavors, good packaging, good variety. You won't be disappointed!

As a competitive dragonboat athlete pushing our physical limits on the water this product is trusted, effective and convenient energy source whether during practices, intense intervals, or competition day. Highly recommended to any athlete.

Products come with 5 flavour..not yet try😅

Flavours are ok, definitely recommend consuming with water. Gives both a good caffeine and carb boost during strenuous activity (running) a good pick me up before the fuel tank runs out. Easy to open while running and small enough to carry a couple or more on adventures. GU has been around for years so they are doing something right, maybe becoming a bit more cost effective is the only thing they could improve on and maybe an edible foil pouch...kidding!

Adoro estos geles porque caen muy bien al estomago y contienen lo necesario para continuar con el ejercicio

New to gel so this is my new experience. Bought the sample variety box (24 count) and so far have tried two flavours. Performance: Took a pack first thing in the morning before heading out for split interval session. Did not feel hungry or lack in energy. The 2nd time I tried was in the late afternoon, at least 3 hours after my last meal. The 12km base run was super easy and I felt more energetic than usual. Taste: Strawberry banana was nice, but Blackcurrent was quite awful. It is also quite thick, so you will have to pair it with some water. I look forward to bringing it out during longer runs.
