Huma Gel Post Workout Recovery Smoothie, 6 Pouches, Mango Banana - 14g Complete Protein (Plant Based) in Ready to Drink Shake

I've been using Huma Gels for years, so when they released a post-workout recovery gel, I was really excited to try it. I'm a brand loyal person, so the more I can get from one place, the better.I've been able to try both flavors and love them both. They are light on the stomach, but satisfy in the way you need after a long workout. My body feels replenished, and it holds me over until my next real meal, so that I'm not ravenous for the rest of the day. The taste of both flavors is great, but the texture took me a little by surprise, having been used to the original Huma Gels. But, after that first sip, you get used to it. I would describe the texture like the regular Huma Gels, with protein mixed in.These gels are also super convenient. Throw them an in your bag and they are there waiting for you for when you're done your workout. No opening seperate packages and mixing with water.I'll definitely be keeping these in my nutrition routine during my marathon and triathlon training this year!

Post-recovery has not been my forte after my long runs (18+ miles) and I was extremely happy to see Huma come out with a post workout 'smoothie' gel. In all, both flavors were quite good.I was expecting more of a smoothie texture but was surprised to have a thicker, almost chalky texture. But it didn't deter me from enjoying them. I also felt that the strawberry one was a bit on the sour/acidic side. Again, had both flavors after my long runs (18+ miles) and I felt they helped with my post recovery (not feeling extremely depleted of energy, soreness, and hangry (hungry/angry)).I can not wait to see where they take this product in the future because it can only get better from here and it's already pretty good!

I am so glad to have a recovery 'food' available as soon as I am finished with my run. I've used recovery foods before, most of which are drinks that I need to make from a powder form, which doesn't seem like a big deal, but often I finish a run especially if I'm in a remote location, I'll get back to my car and not have water left to mix up the drink, so now I have to remember to keep extra water in the car, which usually isn't a problem but sometimes I do forget. Now I can have a Huma Recovery gel right there ready for me whenever I'm ready for it. I agree with another reviewer that although its not exactly like the taste of the Strawberry Huma Gel it is still very good and easy to go down. I've been using Huma gels for years so was pumped to see they released a recovery food as well, I love their real food blends with all natural ingredients!

After my run yesterday, I had the Strawberry flavored pound and it was pretty good. The texture was a bit unusual as it was kind of chalky but it wasn't bad in anyway, just unique. I historically have had a Combat protein powder drink after but I like this way more as the ingredients speak to me way more. I live in Scottsdale, Arizona where it's hot AF so for me, electrolytes and salts are extremely important in recovery plus too much protein after running makes me sick in the heat. Also, they're pretty convenient to travel with but make sure you keep them chilled.The only downside is the texture but then again, it's not that bad, just noticeable. Don't let this be a factor in your decision as this is just for Huma to make note of. I imagine they are working to perfect this as I type this.I love these and have recommended these to my friends.

I took tried the mango banana post workout and it worked well for me. The pouch is 5oz but looks much larger. I was only able to consume about half the pouch due to drinking so much water during my workout. I was expecting the chia seeds to be the whole seeds but they weren’t which made the gel smoother (think more like the consistency of a thick applesauce. The banana flavor is prominent but the mango balances it out well. I’ve included a picture of the back of the package for macro info. Knocked off one star because the package is huge and you have to consume within 24 hours of opening. I will definitely keep this as a post recovery gel for hard workouts.

I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I tapped into these - but I have to say the Flavor(s) are great! The texture was a little more "pasty" than I had expected. I felt like there needed to be a drop of water added to it. (Think of a thick hummus texture). The flavors were tangy and yummy. It was gentle on my stomach and it seemed to help with the post-hard-workout mental clarity. (Know how you sometimes are tired/fatigued when you finish a hard workout? This took that away). I would recommend this and will continue to purchase and consume. Now that I am aware of the consistency, it won't be such a surprise!

I have been a fan of Huma for a while, using their original and now plus products. I was excited when I heard they were putting out a recovery product. Surprisingly I liked the Mango Banana a little more than the strawberry, I usually am not much of a mango guy.I run early in the morning one recovery pouch post run was just what I need to recover me between post run and when I get around to making breakfast. It is filling without feeling full. Legs felt great and ready to go again the next day.Great product, in my opinion, it will be incorporated into my marathon training for sure. Well done guys!
