GU Energy Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel, Vegan and Dairy-Free On-the-Go Energy for Any Workout, Strawberry Banana, 8-Count

Very nice consistency/texture and they taste great. Kind of thick, gel like, but doesnt coat your mouth. I melts away. I like them and i have sensory issues with food texture. I got strawberry banana and birthday cake. Strawberry banana tastes similar to a laffy taffy. Birthday cake tastes like vanilla icing. Both are good but birthday cake is my favorite. I bought them for hiking some trails and they are a great, light snack that gives you a good bit of energy and keeps you going on steep inclines/declines. They are also small so good for packing in a daypack or waist pack on the trail.

I love this flavor and I didn't consume gels before, now I'm training for a half and felt the need to recharge. I bought a spare of this brand/flavor along with others before placing this order for a bulk pack. So far so good

I'm training for an Ironman, and this product has been super helpful. I usually don't like to eat while working out, but this race is too long to not eat. I eat one Gu every 20 miles on the bike and every 3-4 miles of the run and can feel a real difference in how long my energy lasts. I tried gummies but they made my stomach turn while running. This Gu is easy to digest.

GU has been my favorite mid workout boost for a long time. I am loving all the new flavors. Easy to use with a smooth texture. All in a compact package which makes it easy to take on a run or a bike ride.

I've been using GU for a long time, 10 years or more, and I think it's a wonderful product. However, I have noticed that when I'm consuming multiple ones during a race and such, they start to taste sweet, which I don't like at all; the last thing I want when I'm 20 miles into a run is something sweet. I thought all gels were pretty much the same, but alas, I now know that that's not true. I have recently discovered another product, gel from Hammer Nutrition. Their flavors are superior (to me anyway), and they're not overwhelmingly loaded with sugar. Also, after you take one you're not scrambling for the water bottle since they don't leave a syrup consistency in your mouth. If you're only going to use 1 gel, then GU can fit the bill, but if you're going to consume multiple ones, you might want to look at the gel from Hammer Nutrition. Oh, about the carbs and sugar content. There are more simple carbs in the GU gels, which means that it brings you up and down much faster. Hammer gels have a great deal more complex carbs in them (and they're natural), so you don't spike up and drop down fast, meaning that you give your body a consistent supply of energy without the spikes. This has been a nice change in my training. FYI, the flavors of GU I like are the Mint Chocolate and Vanilla. For Hammer gels, I like the Huckleberry, Raspberry, and Apple Cinnamon.

I have used this product in the past and it continues to provide good hydration. It has a good taste and does not upset my stomach while exercising.

Superb product!!! Gives me no headaches. Nice steady supply of energy. Extremely pleasant taste. And very good quality.

Good

Excellent for full marathon.

Gives quick boost up
