Huma Gel Post Workout Recovery Smoothie, 12 Pouches, Strawberries - 14g Complete Protein in Ready to Drink Shake

These make recovery easy and stress-free!I'm a huge fan of the Huma gels so when these were released I was very excited to try them out.I'll be honest I couldn't wait for a workout to taste them (I'm impatient)! Open them both immediately and was very pleasantly surprised by the flavor. It was the perfect blend of sweet and tart for me as some have said refreshing which I would agree with.I can't pick which one I like best because to me they're both good in their own way. These would be great on a long hike, wonderful after a long run or a hard workout in general. Easy post run snack when you want something healthy and clean. Two thumbs up from me!

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!

I am always rushed so making a recovery shake is so rare after my long runs, so I was excited for this. It's nice to grab and go! The taste is good (I like the mango banana best!), but I give 4 stars just because the texture is a little bit thicker so I can't eat it as quickly as a mid-run Humagel energy pouch, and they lean towards the expensive side. Overall I am excited for the recovery option for this training cycle!

I really like Huma products and have been using the gels for endurance mountain bike races for the last several years. I was really excited about about a recovery smoothie. I never remember to bring a recovery powder and water to the trails and this solves my problem by being able to quickly grab a pouch, put it in my bag with all of my bike gear and then enjoy it post ride. It is perfect to hold me over until I can get real food to eat. Recovery is the key to good performances and this definitely starts the process off right. I really like that there are no artificial ingredients and only plant based protein. It basically contains fruit puree, pea and brown rice protein, and chia seeds. I like both the mango banana and strawberry. I will definitely be using these for the upcoming mountain biking season.

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!

As someone that has figured out I need protein during long bike rides, this product fits the bill. Yes, it's a great recovery smoothie or even great for a mid-day snack, but I also love the packing that makes it super easy to take while out in nature, riding, running, skiing, etc. When compared to other products like Fuel for Fire, I feel the cost and quality are right there if not better! Give it a shot!

I use Huma gels during my long training runs for two reasons: they taste great (not chemically like other gels), and they are all-natural so they don't upset my stomach-even after 20+miles in a race. So naturally I was excited to try the new recovery smoothies and they do not disappoint. They taste amazing and I love that they are vegan, gluten free, and soy free. I keep a box of them in my car at all times for whenever I need it after a long training run. Super easy.Each pouch also has 14 grams of protein! Both pea and brown rice protein so you're getting all of your essential amino acids.Huma gel has a winner here and at about 3.50 a piece, they're pretty affordable.

I ordered the variety pack for both mango/banana and strawberry. As a long distance runner, I've found this protein (pea protein, brown rice protein) recovery shake to be a very convenient and yummy way to replenish after a hard running workout or strength session. The strawberry version did taste quite tart initially but I did get used to it later on. The mango/banana flavor seemed a little more smooth. Hopefully they're considering releasing another new flavor or two for a little more variety to choose from (something with raspberries/pomegranate perhaps?). I'd likely order more of these shakes again.
