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.

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.

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!

These taste really, really good, and come in a variety of cool flavors. I use them pre-workout on an empty stomach and have no issues. I do drink some water with them as recommended. They definitely give me a little boost that I need to exercise first thing in the morning. I’m okay doing fasted cardio but fasted strength training was not going well. The caffeinated gels seem to provide just enough “motivation” to push through weight lifting without insane amounts of caffeine that other pre-workout products provide. I highly recommended them! I’ve even found myself using one of the non-caffeinated gels as a tasty dessert on a few occasions.

This is not my go to supplement for my long runs. The taste is really good compared to other gels I have had. Normally I’m a textured type of person and tips it’s not right I can’t swallow it. This goes down so easy and taste really good. I open one pack for every 40 mins of running. It does give you a little boost of energy needed to get through my run. I do take it with water and it’s help with the hydration. It packs are just the right size it fits perfect in my running vest.

I think I've tried all the flavors in the box. I keep it on a high shelf so I do blindly reach up and grab one before going on a run. Bought these after foolishly trying energy chews and energy stroop waffels both of which had me choking on the run or running with a dry and sticky mouth. While running a half marathon, one of the aid stations at the halfway point was giving these out and I tried the vanilla one. Zero issues with my stomach digesting it during the run. Didn't dry out my mouth and it was easy to quickly swallow and be done. Gave me an energy boost to finish with a PR so I bought this box. Not a fan of chocolate anyway, but it's fine. Salted caramel and vanilla taste pretty good. Haven't really noticed a difference between ones with caffeine and those without. Before I order another box, I ordered a box of natural energy gels as I'm trying to remove as much fake/processed stuff as possible.

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!

Perfect for mid-run energy. Salted caramel hits the sweet spot without being too sugary. Easy on the stomach, fast energy, no crash. A must for long workouts!
