GUEnergy Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Kosher, and Dairy-Free On-the-Go Energy for Any Workout, 8-Count, Chocolate Outrage

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.

This is my go to for fuel during a race! It does have a thick consistency so it is best used with water to help with that. It has a great chocolate flavor without that artificial flavor after taste. It’s so easy to use so it won’t slow you down on the go. The caffeine is just right if used as instructed. I recommend using during training runs to see what works best for you come race day. They are a great price compared to what I see at most expos. I recommend buying prior!

This product is a GAME CHANGER! I am an avid triathlete and started using these during races. Let me tell you… It dropped my times tremendously. I normally run an 8:45:mile. When I started using these, My mile time decreased to 8:15. I then started using them to train and I noticed the difference in energy level.The functionality is great as I can tape a packet to my bike handlebar during race.The caffeine isn’t an issue for me and love the taste! Tri- Berry is my FAVORITE!

This stuff tastes exactly like a little shot of chocolate pudding, which was a pleasant surprise - and honestly makes it way easier to take than most energy gels. It’s a small amount of gel for a good amount of energy - I use one before roller derby practice and it gives me the boost I need without upsetting my stomach or tasting like regret. Buying the bulk packs makes it way more affordable but the price is well worth it for the energy boost.Great texture, great taste, and it actually works. Can’t ask for much more in a gel!

I purchased the orange cream Roctane before, and I decided to try this since the Roctane worked so well. While the results were similar-- helped me stay awake for a little while longer-- the taste was more intense this time. At first I thought it tasted like chocolate pudding, then the fructose kicked in and I was wishing I had a carton of milk because it reminded me of chocolate syrup. This would actually be pretty good as an ingredient in a super caffeinated mocha, but straight out of the packet it was too much for me.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:It’s Gu, you know what the consistency is going to be: I have yet to get palate fatigue with this flavor. No caffeine, unfortunately but still a staple for my runs.

My favorite gels. Love the taste and texture. Feels like you’re eating chocolate pudding. Works great for long endurance activities (marathons, triathlons, bike races) and all the training.

I’m diabetic so use this when sugar gets low. Fast acting; nice texture and taste.
