Took one out with me on a 16 mile run this morning, vanilla bean flavour. I had some of the gel 5 minutes before and then once every 45 minutes while I was running. The taste is great, they are sweet but not sickly and I feel them kick in almost immediately. The only negative is the price.

I know there are cheaper ones out there by different brands but I decided to try this. Thick and and a great taste. I haven't tried all the flavours yet but early indications point to good things. If this is the same people who make deserts for sale in all major supermarkets then no wonder!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great selection of flavours

Really good to stock up on for marathon or half marathon training. Nice flavours.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid Energy, Quick Thick

G.B. · 8 April 2024

I've been testing these out in my half marathon training and found them great, I'll be using them on race day. Really good flavours (the berry flavours are delicious) and quick energy return.They are very thick, so I would recommend letting the gel sit in your mouth for a few seconds to loosen up before trying to swallow - like honey! You'll need water with you on a run to rinse after you're done, and they are quite sticky so be careful not to get any on your hands

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for those with a sweet tooth

A welcome change for liquidy gels, great if you have a sweet tooth like me

Great product

5.0 out of 5 stars Great value pack

e. · 7 February 2016

Great value pack, with an opportunity to try various flavours without committing too much. Loved the different taste and flavour, as they're not too strong, and don't stay in your mouth too long. Texture is quite thick compared to many brand, so need plenty of water to wash them down. Overall though, I loved them.

5.0 out of 5 stars which I quite like although they are a bit to sweet

Ordered by mistake and was planning to return but decided to give a go. What a pleasant surprise. Used Vega Sport gels for quite a while, which I quite like although they are a bit to sweet. GU is slightly better in terms of texture and taste. Plus they are gluten free and vegan. Bingo.

Great taste for best value

They have a great taste and don't upset my stomach at all even when I use them during heavy exercise. They are easy to open and consume on the go. I purchased them on special and should have purchased more!

Off to the races

Bought these for my husband when he races dirt bikes. It gives him a quick pick me up before and during race. He has no complaints
