Great-Tasting Drinkable Energy — GU Liquid Energy Gels
GU Liquid Energy is the new way to fuel. Drinkable, refreshing and with the high portability we love from gels, this is undoubtedly the GU You Can Gulp.
GU Energy Labs have created the same convenient and fast-absorbing carbohydrates as GU's original Energy Gel, in a refreshingly light and smooth liquid form.
Each 100-calorie, 2 ounce serving not only delivers a great-tasting blend of complex and simple carbohydrates, electrolytes, and branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), they offer an alternative form factor to fine-tune your nutrition plan and give you a powerful finish line kick just when you need it.
Four refreshing flavors pack in electrolytes for optimal hydration, amino acid to reduce muscle breakdown, and caffeine in some flavors to increase your focus.
Pro Tip: Try freezing Liquid Energy Gels to create a slushy treat for your hot weather training or racing.

Reviews
I tried this liquid (not saying gel, because it is a straight-forward liquid, not a gel) this summer/fall and really enjoyed it (I ordered orange but also have tried other flavors). Once you open the sachet, simply squeeze and the stuff goes down. Tasted good, easy to get down (on long rides when it is hot, I tend to have trouble getting stuff down in the latter part of the rides). Definitely recommend this product.
Bought when went on sale and use when I'm travelling by plane. I usually use bulk re-fills. I'm fortunate to have a US and EU office and bike overseas often. But, I keep getting my Gu re-fill bottles confiscated by TSA so I switched to these packs. I bought the strawberry banana flavor and was surprised by the flavor. Went down easy, tasted grate. Recommended especially if you can get on sale.
Used while training for IM Washington 70.3 and then during the race. Everything I wanted no mess, fingers didn’t stick to the aero bars. Didn’t have to drink water to wash down. Best of all tasty.
I was reluctant to use Gu packs because they were sometimes difficult to choke down if I was hot, breathing hard, dehydrated, etc. The Liquid GU is much easier to use - especially the lemonade flavor. I also use the Cola flavor since it has some caffeine.
I wanted to like these, but the flavor was off putting for me. A very strong chemical metallic taste. I would much rather just leave a soda out to go flat and drink that on a ride.
I was looking for another alternative for refueling during rides, without the caffeine (so I can manage to refuel independently of taking coffee).
This GU tastes pretty good, and I feel pretty good energy wise after taking one.
Note, this is more of a liquid to drink, not something to chew on.
