      I received a sample of this at a half-marathon run last summer. Absolutely delicious! I am not a fan of fruit flavors, so this Vanilla flavor meets my taste buds' requirements. I'm back for more!

              Comments about GU Energy Gel 8 pack Nutrition:

              Love the flavor and texture of Gu. I have tried other brands during running events and I'm always glad I packed my own Gu. Mint is my favorite flavor. It reminds me of a peppermint patty, yum!

              It is small and easy to pack in a pocket. It is supper easy to tear open and enjoy on a run. I take one packet starting 30-40 minutes into a long run and repeat every 30-40 minutes to sustain energy and avoid hitting the wall.

                Comments about GU Energy Gel 8 pack Nutrition:

                GU is one of my favorite gels to take. Mainly because they taste good. I like bland flavors (chocolate, vanilla, peanut butter)because they counteract a fruity drink mix in my water bottle. The Chocolate and Vanilla have caffeine which gives me stomach problems and the Peppermint doesn't so I chose that one. The flavor is very refreshing and I think the peppermint opens up your senses and makes you more alert. I would definitely order this again.

                        Comments about GU Energy Gel 8 pack Nutrition:

                        I like the gu gel the best of all of them. My favorites are the chocolate mint (like a peppermint pattie) and vanilla bean. These have quite a thick texture and are not too sickly sweet tasting. Once I get over 60-90 minutes in my run I sometimes find myself fading. One of these around every 30 minutes seems to do the trick. I'm a fan of accelerade and endurox but I tried the accel gels and found them sickly sweet and runnier in consistency which didn't sit well with me. I'm doing a half next week, will ramp down for 6 weeks or so and then I start training for a May marathon. These will definitely be my go-to fuel

                        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
