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

Ive used many different tastes of GU Original Energy Gels. My favorites are salted caramel and espersso love. They give me the energy I need and my digestive system tolerates them well. The only reason for the missing star is the sweetness, but I think there is no energy gel that is not too sweet for me.

I’ve used this product for years. When I was a triathlete I used GU so I wouldn’t hit the wall or bonk. Now I’m a tournament Pickleball player. I used GU for immediate energy during play. It works immediately.

Taste great and supplies the fuel

use before I play tennis

Very good. Used it for energy when playing tennis. Had to take a break from tennis the last month.

Gave last minute energy that helped me get through 3 grueling weeks of swat school

Perfect for long runs, easy to carry and gives a good morale and energy boost when running low on carbs

My two athletes use these all the time. Good for a pre-workout/competition boost. They are very tasty! Thick, caramel flavor- very much like candy- for me they are a little too rich tasting, so if thats a concern, have some water nearby to wash it down. They are super convenient to throw in a gear bag, and give a little boost on the go.

I am an endurance cyclist, and one of the challenges Ive had over the years is finding on-the-bike snacks that both supply carbs/electrolytes/caffeine AND taste good. Usually taste is the big issue for me, with things either being too sweet (which seems to lead to stomach upset for me) or tasting too much like chemicals. I tried one of these packets that a friend had while out on a bike ride in December, and it was so good that I promptly pulled out my phone, opened the Amazon app, and ordered a box. The salt component of this flavor keeps it from being too sweet, it has all of the rest of the balanced ingredients you need to maintain good performance on the bike, and I had no issues digesting it. I hope they make this a regular flavor, as it is one of my new favorites!
