Get energized with a Gu Energy Gel.
GU is a convenient, great tasting carbohydrate gel formulated to energize before, sustain during, and aid in recovery after training and competitions. Made with a unique blend of ingredients, GU provides: complex carbohydrates for sustained energy, amino acids to maintain muscle protein, antioxidants and muscle buffers to aid with recovery and GU's patented herbal blend for enhanced energy production. GU helps you feel and perform your best. GU's unique herbal blend combines the perfect fusion of herbs for energy-enhancement (cola-nut), anti-inflammatory (chamomile), and stomach buffering (ginger). GU contains 20mg (equivalent to 1/5 cup of coffee) per serving from cola-nut. All flavors have the same level of caffeine. The caffeine level in GU is not enough to give a "caffeine rush," but is added to help you utilize body fat as an additional fuel source during activity.
Gu Energy Gel comes in ten flavors -- Tri-Berry, Chocolate Outrage, Espresso Love, Jet Blackberry, Lemon Sublime, Mint Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Mandarin Orange, Just Plain, Strawberry Banana, and Vanilla Bean. They come in a box of 24 gel packets.

GU packs I love yhem!
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Size Bought:

I've used GU for years and always loved it. After a time gap I bought some, Espresso Love, which seems to be an updated version of what I used to use. It's great! It's like I can feel it flowing in my veins! If you like the dark chocolate and a little caffeine combo, this is it!

Great Replacement
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I needed a Cliff Shot replacement so I tried these (with caffeine). Pleasant taste, easy to get down, and seemed to add the boost I needed. Would have been 5 stars, but I am not a fan of the packaging. When you rip open the top, there is no where to put the small tab. I thought the Cliff Shots with the attached tab were easier to avoid littering.

Anti-Bonk Perfection

Yes you can make your own bike food. But why? I slurp one GU every 30 minutes and I never bonk. That's 3 GUs for a 2 hr ride at intensity. They stuff easily into the jersey pocket, as do the empties. I wish they sold mixed packages of 24 because it's easy to tire of one flavor, no matter how tasty, and all flavors provide the same instant energy. It's really amazing how fast they work. So go ahead , make your own food and save money. I don't want to wait 20 minutes for my calories to kick in, and then lose speed unraveling my homemade wrappers and then dealing with the garbage. I'd rather pay the money, slurp my GU, get and get virtually instant energy on the fly.
