Description
GU Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel is the energy gel that started it all. In 1993, Dr. Bill Vaughn developed the world's first energy gel to help his daughter perform better during ultra-marathons, and GU has been helping to propel the world's most successful extreme athletes to success ever since. GU Energy Gel sustains all forms of athletic activity with a highly compact, portable, and calorie-dense packet that is loaded with carbohydrates that can be rapidly absorbed. Branched-chain amino acids limit muscle fiber damage and increase speed of recovery, and extra electrolytes help maintain water balance. Some flavors feature caffeine to increase concentration. While the original formula has been tweaked and evolved over the years, the end result is still the same: GU Energy Gels fuel the best endurance athletes in the world. GU Original Energy Gel comes in a wide variety of great tasting flavors. Each packet contains 450mg of Amino acids, 100 calories, and at least 21g total carbs.

Size: 24 Count (Pack of 1)
Let me rave about the GU Energy Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel—it's not just a gel, it's a turbo boost for your endurance and taste buds, packed with all the goodness you need on the go! As an avid runner and outdoor enthusiast, I rely on energy gels to keep me going strong through long workouts and races. GU Energy Gels have become my go-to choice for several reasons: **Performance:** These gels deliver a quick and reliable energy boost when I need it most. Whether I'm hitting the trails for a trail run or cycling through challenging terrain, GU gels provide a steady stream of carbohydrates (maltodextrin and fructose) that fuel my muscles and keep me pushing forward without the dreaded crash. **Variety of Flavors:** The range of flavors is impressive and delicious! From Salted Watermelon to Chocolate Outrage, there's a flavor to suit every palate and mood. Personally, I love the Salted Caramel for its sweet and salty kick that keeps my taste buds satisfied mile after mile. **Texture and Consistency:** The gel has a smooth and easy-to-swallow texture, which is crucial during intense activities when you need to refuel quickly without fuss. It goes down smoothly and doesn't leave a sticky residue, making it convenient to consume even on the move. **Vegan and Gluten-Free:** As someone who follows a vegan and gluten-free diet, I appreciate that GU Energy Gels are free from animal products and gluten. They provide me with the energy I need without compromising my dietary preferences or causing any digestive discomfort. **Packaging and Portability:** Each gel comes in a convenient, tear-open packet that fits easily into my pocket or hydration pack. The packaging is sturdy and easy to open, even during high-intensity workouts when dexterity might be compromised. **Effectiveness:** I've noticed a significant improvement in my performance and endurance since incorporating GU Energy Gels into my training regimen. They help me maintain a steady pace and recover more quickly after demanding workouts, which is essential for achieving my fitness goals. In conclusion, if you're an athlete, runner, or outdoor enthusiast looking for a reliable energy boost that's vegan, gluten-free, and packed with flavor, GU Energy Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel is a must-have. It's great-tasting, effective, and ensures you stay fueled and focused during your adventures. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to take their performance to the next level with a gel that delivers on taste and energy!

Flavor Name: Chocolate Outrage
Size: 8 Count (Pack of 1)
Portable, high-energy, and delicious. I’m new to distance running but Gu’s are so ideal for that morale and energy boost it gives me about 45-50 minutes into the run and about every 45-50 minutes afterwards. Some guys say to just suck it down, but I enjoy the taste. The package is very functional and sucks down flat to pack away. I have a number of these in my collection. My favorite two are Chocolate Outrage (the name makes me laugh), and the Raspberry Lemonade ones are fantastic.

Flavor Name: Salted Caramel
Size: 8 Count (Pack of 1)
I use this on long bike rides. I take one 5 minutes before I start then one every 45 minutes into my ride. Make sure you hydrate as you are taking this to avoid stomach issues as per directions. The chocolate and salt caramel. Tastes really good. I am a repeat customer.

I ordered the 24-count Assorted Box. The reviews for all flavors are all lumped under this listing, so I will review each flavor individually. I will also comment on the texture and effectiveness. Flavors: My assorted box included Jet Blackberry, Salted Caramel, Chocolate Outrage, Tri-Berry, Strawberry Banana, and Vanilla Bean. Flavors are listed below in order of my preference. Chocolate Outrage: I waited to try this one until last, as I always favor a more fruity flavor when I'm hot and tired. This one ended up being a welcome surprise! It is SO GOOD! It literally tasted like brownie batter. I could honestly just eat this one as a snack. Strawberry Banana: A close runner up here. On extremely hot days or long runs I tend to go for this one, as I prefer fruity flavors. It is really tasty and is exactly what you would expect. It tastes like strawberry banana. Not too sweet, just yummy. Salted Caramel: This is the first one I tried, as I read reviews on how great it was. I have to agree. It is very good. It is extremely rich and sweet. I am OK with that, as it gives me a bit of a sugar/sweet pick-me-up. If you don't like too sweet, steer clear of this one. Tri-Berry: This one is just a fruity berry flavor. It is not too sweet.I would recommend this one if you prefer a fruity flavor and want a crisper flavor than strawberry banana. It is good for hot days, and doesn't linger in the mouth. Vanilla Beam: I have nothing bad to say about this one. It is a sweet vanilla flavor. It is tasty, just not one of my personal favorites. If I am going the sweet dessert direction I would choose Chocolate or Caramel first. Jet Blackberry: Some have commented that this is too sweet. I don't agree with that. It is a sweeter flavor than some others, but I thought it was fine. It was my least favorite, but I don't avoid them or anything like that. Texture: These are very thick. All flavors I have tried have had the same consistently. You will 100% want to wash them down with water. The first time I ever used an energy gel of any type, it was these. I grabbed one after the first 6 miles of my long run, when I was hot, sweaty, and out of breath. I gagged immediately. I was totally unprepared for the texture. Now I have no issues and can suck them down easily with a quick mouthful of water. Just be prepared for the consistency. Maybe try one before a run to get the idea. Effectiveness: After using these for several months, I can say that I don't feel any advantage when I take one before a run. I no longer use them pre-run. I only use them every 45 minutes during my run. I do feel a little energy jolt when I use them that way. No, I don't feel instantly energized. No, I don't instantly increase my pace. I just feel a little pick-me-up. For me, that is enough. Sometimes during a long run that little jolt is enough to get you through the next few miles. Overall I highly recommend these!

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.
