I ordered the 24-count Assorted Box. The reviews for all flavors are all lumped under this listing, so I will review each flavor individually. I will also comment on the texture and effectiveness.
Flavors:
My assorted box included Jet Blackberry, Salted Caramel, Chocolate Outrage, Tri-Berry, Strawberry Banana, and Vanilla Bean. Flavors are listed below in order of my preference.
Chocolate Outrage: I waited to try this one until last, as I always favor a more fruity flavor when I’m hot and tired. This one ended up being a welcome surprise! It is SO GOOD! It literally tasted like brownie batter. I could honestly just eat this one as a snack.
Strawberry Banana: A close runner up here. On extremely hot days or long runs I tend to go for this one, as I prefer fruity flavors. It is really tasty and is exactly what you would expect. It tastes like strawberry banana. Not too sweet, just yummy.
Salted Caramel: This is the first one I tried, as I read reviews on how great it was. I have to agree. It is very good. It is extremely rich and sweet. I am OK with that, as it gives me a bit of a sugar/sweet pick-me-up. If you don’t like too sweet, steer clear of this one.
Tri-Berry: This one is just a fruity berry flavor. It is not too sweet.I would recommend this one if you prefer a fruity flavor and want a crisper flavor than strawberry banana. It is good for hot days, and doesn’t linger in the mouth.
Vanilla Beam: I have nothing bad to say about this one. It is a sweet vanilla flavor. It is tasty, just not one of my personal favorites. If I am going the sweet dessert direction I would choose Chocolate or Caramel first.
Jet Blackberry: Some have commented that this is too sweet. I don’t agree with that. It is a sweeter flavor than some others, but I thought it was fine. It was my least favorite, but I don’t avoid them or anything like that.
Texture:
These are very thick. All flavors I have tried have had the same consistently. You will 100% want to wash them down with water. The first time I ever used an energy gel of any type, it was these. I grabbed one after the first 6 miles of my long run, when I was hot, sweaty, and out of breath. I gagged immediately. I was totally unprepared for the texture. Now I have no issues and can suck them down easily with a quick mouthful of water. Just be prepared for the consistency. Maybe try one before a run to get the idea.
Effectiveness:
After using these for several months, I can say that I don’t feel any advantage when I take one before a run. I no longer use them pre-run. I only use them every 45 minutes during my run. I do feel a little energy jolt when I use them that way. No, I don’t feel instantly energized. No, I don’t instantly increase my pace. I just feel a little pick-me-up. For me, that is enough. Sometimes during a long run that little jolt is enough to get you through the next few miles.
Overall I highly recommend these!

This sports gel is an absolute game-changer for my long run days! As I train for a half marathon, these little packets have become my go-to fuel source.
First off, the flavors are delicious—just the boost I need when I hit that wall. They’re small and incredibly easy to carry, fitting perfectly into my running belt or pocket without any hassle.
I’ve purchased these gels multiple times now, and I will continue to do so without hesitation. They provide the energy I need to power through those challenging miles, and the convenience factor is unbeatable.
If you’re a runner or athlete looking for a reliable and tasty energy boost during workouts, look no further. These sports gels are a must-have for anyone serious about their training regimen. Highly recommended!

I used these when I trained for and ran a marathon. The flavors are good, they are easy to digest, helped with energy and performance. They’re easy to carry in small pockets.

This was my first time trying gels for running/working out. Boy was I thrown when I tried it for the first time on my 6 mile run. Helped hydrate and keep me energized, but DAAAAANNNNGGGGG girl did that slap my taste buds and the texture threw it’s own Diddy party in my mouth. Absolutely try it before you work out or run, to get used to the first time shock. A great variety of flavors and I am drawn more to the fruity flavors, rather than the chocolate and caramel flavors.

Not sure if they actually work or not but they taste great. The consistency is a little different, especially when you open the vanilla ones lol

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 purchased the Strawberry Banana gels in November 2016 and they have an expiry date of February 2018. Therefore, the batch they sent me has a 1 year plus shelf life (when stored in a cool dry place) which is a good thing. Some people have complained of products being sent to them too close to the expiry date. This wasn’t the case in this instance.
⁃ Each individual GU gel also has the expiry date stamped on it.
⁃ The strawberry banana GU gels are the ideal GU gels for a runner who doesn’t want to use GU gels that contain caffeine, either due to reacting negatively towards caffeine use or if running at night and not wanting to stay awake way deep into the night after the run is over.
⁃ As for me, I run mostly at night since it is the only time I can run without distractions.
⁃ I use and prefer the caffeinated GU gels for races as I feel that the caffeine works well with me.
⁃ I used these GU gels in a morning run once and they worked well. I felt that they supplied much needed energy to me.
⁃ The particular GU gels have a well balanced strawberry and banana flavor. It’s not too strong and blends beautifully. The strawberry doesn’t overpower the banana and vice versa.
⁃ They are handy, easy to open up and are just the right size. They are easy to stuff into running shorts pockets or running belts.
⁃ They have almost the same consistency with the rest of the GU gels. You may use them alone or sip some water to make the gel go easier through your throat. Your choice.
⁃ I use these non-caffeinated gels together with the regular non-caffeinated saltstick electrolyte capsules with no stomach or other issues. I cramp after long runs if I don’t use saltstick capsules.
⁃ I also use the gels together with mustard (packets) and/or pickle juice to prevent cramping and I have no stomach or other issues. I also take energy sports drinks (Gatorade, Powerade) with no stomach or other issues.
⁃ The other brand of non-caffeinated GU gels is root-beer. Root beer flavor tastes better (I am biased, I like root beer) but cost more, so I buy the Strawberry Banana flavor more often.
I have used the other caffeinated GU gels (assorted flavors) for a marathon. They provided the energy needed for the marathon, especially during the last 10 miles when you hit the wall. I used them with the SaltStick caps and I had no issues. Highly recommend them, especially since they can be used with salt stick caps with no adverse effects.
