GU Original Energy Gels, Bestsellers Mixed 24 Pack - 100 Calorie Energy Gel with Carbohydrates, Caffeine, BCAAs and Electrolytes - Pre-Workout Fuel for Running, Cycling, Triathlon and Endurance Sports

These are probably the best tasting gels I have used so far, they are also the most effective energy gels I have used when marathon training. 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!

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.

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

Couldn't have gotten through the marathon training and race without these bad boys. Love them. And easy to swallow as nice and thick. Can keep it in your mouth rather than struggling to swallow whilst running. Will defo buy again.

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

I ordered a mixed box and didn't specify any specific selections so got a good mix. Personally I think all the brands taste bad, these ones are just less bad but they work! I use whilst running/cycling. They are not going to turn you into a super athlete but they will help you maintain your levels to go further and longer.

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.
