      I was looking for an alternative to GU gels. I love these! Very easy to chew as I'm running. No more stopping to choke a gel down!

        I like Chomps better than Shot Blocks. The Pomogranite and Peach/Tea do not make me hungry when I use them.

            I eat one pack about 15 minutes prior to running, and take additional packs with me on runs of twelve miles or more. They satisfy hunger and prevent hunger distractions during workouts. Affordable and definitely better quality nutrition than "jelly beans."

            Much better than the Cliff Shot Blocks! Those were absolutely disgusting! These are great, smooth, go down easy and no water is needed! I'm not a huge fan of orange flavored anything, but the orange is great in these!

            I received a sample packet of Strawberry GU Chomps with my Roadrunner "New Balance" shoe order.
            Yum! I do a 45 minute aerobic street style dancing 3x a week and tried the Gu Chomps before my workout today. Nice flavor, nice texture (reminded me of soft gummy bears) without the stickiness! And they are Gluten Free, YEAH!!!!! Sweetened with tapioca syrup and sugar, not the cheap high fructose corn syrup or corn syrup like so many other energy bars or supplements. I will be buying these from now on. These are a winner!

            Comments about GU Chomps 16 pk Nutrition:

            I have used the GU Chomps without caffeine for my past mid runs (10 miles +) and wish I had gotten the ones with caffeine instead. The taste of the blueberry is tart and nice. The consistency is that of a Swedish fish candy. My only complaint is that it lacked the "pick me up" power of the regular GU gel. Otherwise, it is a very convenient product: you can consumme it little by little and stuff it in your bra without having gu all over you. I will buy again, but with caffeine.

                      I use the orange GU chomps for runs over 90 minutes--eating one every 20-30 minutes with water. I don't use the whole packet for one run, so I put the amount I need in a small ziplock bag and put the bag in my pocket. I find they give me the extra energy I need to finish a long run feeling good.

                        I love Gu chomps. They don't get stuck in my teeth like other blocks do. They are easier to eat than the gels.
                        They taste like candy but sometimes they leave a strange after taste.

                          I like these chomps so much that snack on them from time to time!

                          I work out during the week, and all weekend, and this is great to have for energy during a long workout. The package is fairly small and fits into your back pocket (for cycling) and on my water bottle carrier (for running). It perks me up when I start to run out of gas during the workout.

                            I first tried the chomps at the PF Chang marathon. I thought they tasted great and were easy to handle. Once I found them at RRS I decided they were affordable too!

                            Much better than the Cliff Shot Blocks! Those were absolutely disgusting! These are great, smooth, go down easy and no water is needed! I'm not a huge fan of orange flavored anything, but the orange is great in these!

                            Taste is great and better than Cliff shot blocks and has extra vitamins. Easier to chew the Cliff blocks as well. Only downside is the packaging. The Cliff blocks has much better packaging for having to carry and easier to get out. Overally great product.

                            I received a sample packet of Strawberry GU Chomps with my Roadrunner "New Balance" shoe order. Yum! I do a 45 minute aerobic street style dancing 3x a week and tried the Gu Chomps before my workout today. Nice flavor, nice texture (reminded me of soft gummy bears) without the stickiness! And they are Gluten Free, YEAH!!!!! Sweetened with tapioca syrup and sugar, not the cheap high fructose corn syrup or corn syrup like so many other energy bars or supplements. I will be buying these from now on. These are a winner!

                            I tried the strawberry flavor and it was decent but I much prefer the taste of the Cliff Shot Bloks. These do have the added vitamins but I honestly could not tell a huge performance difference between these and Shot Bloks. Not a bad product, but I think I'll stick to GU for gel and Clif for Bloks.

                            tastes much better than the shotblocks and it gave me energy to make it though a 2/3 mile run and kickboxing class.

                            I have used the GU Chomps without caffeine for my past mid runs (10 miles +) and wish I had gotten the ones with caffeine instead. The taste of the blueberry is tart and nice. The consistency is that of a Swedish fish candy. My only complaint is that it lacked the "pick me up" power of the regular GU gel. Otherwise, it is a very convenient product: you can consumme it little by little and stuff it in your bra without having gu all over you. I will buy again, but with caffeine.

                            Tried the orange chomps at the expo for the SF marathon this past weekend. Tasted REALLY good and didn't need to wash it down. I won't be using the gels anymore!

                            Welcome change to sucking on the nasty frosting tasting packs of gels. Tried these the other day and really liked them. Gave me lasting energy and didn't upset my stomach. Strawberry taste was good.

                            We love these for before a workout. The orange tastes great and they are easy to eat without needing water to wash them down.

                            I have been a Shot Block fan for a while. I love the Chomps because they seem to have a cleaner taste and no sticky bits stuck in my teeth. They are a little more tart than the blocks but also not as sweet. I love the fact that I don't have to take a bite off the side and keep it in my cheek like a chipmunk to finish later. Buy some Chomps and enjoy!!! I have tried all of the flavors. Haven't met one I didn't like.

                            I just sampled these at the Carlsbad 5000 expo and they're my new favorite. Slightly softer and easier to chew when compared to the similar Clif or PowerBar products. The best part is that I didn't have little pieces stuck to my teeth.
