GU Energy Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel, 24-Count, Vanilla Bean

I like GU. It helps me make it through my intense training days without making me dizzy or giving me heart palpatations the way pre-workout would. I usually take it after my warm-up and cardio are done, for the boost of energy I need to get through my strength routine. These little gels also make it easier to get through morning workouts before breakfast without absolutely crashing halfway through. I love these gels as a workout aid! I have even noticed less muscle soreness since I started using them. However, the flavors available are disappointing. I have bought GU from this seller, but also at a pre-marathon booth and let me tell you... there are 4 times as many flavors as this Amazon seller provides. Where is the Blackberry? Where is the Smores? The Toasted Marshmallow? These flavors of GU are all vastly better than vanilla. The basic flavors are the least pallatable because there is less flavoring to hide the taste of the gel. Please list more flavors!

Im sure part of it is psychological, but I always take it before I work out. Whether it is a physical or mental boost, it seems to help me get going.

I mean, its Gu. You like it or you dont, right? When its cold, its thicker. When its warm, thinner. The vanilla is one of the better, more versatile flavors. Great for extra carbs during excercise.

These are my go-to for long runs. The taste is great and they do what theyre supposed to with an energy boost. I take the first one after 45min, and then one every 45min after that. Definitely need water to stop it gumming up in the mouth, but no digestive issues.

This is the most palatable of these energy packets Ive tried. It tastes like caramel, which I expect to be sweet so it isnt so shocking when I put it in my mouth. But really I buy it for the energy; it has a little more punch than other gels. I use it before swimming and during my long runs. Gu is thicker than other brands so when it is cold it is really thick.

Love the vanilla flavor. Using this for years during my runs!

This is a good goo with nice flavor and a little caffeine. Can give you a small boost of energy during the day. But all these energy goos are a overpriced.

Great product

I am an avid bicycle rider and Vanilla Bean flavored GU is the best. During a 40+ mile training ride I will consume up to two of them. Great taste, easy on the stomach and added energy.

I have been using them on a few recent long runs and the salty taste is perfect. After a couple of hours on my feet, my stomach cannot handle some of these overly sweet gels, this is where these come in very handy. Finally a gel that actually tastes decent.
