These are Good

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Does the job for quick energy boost.

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

It's in the name - liquid

Unlike a gel that needs to be squeezed out, this is a liquid that is easy to consume quickly because it just flows out of the packet. Good energy source and nice to have non-caffeine options.

Thank you for your feedback.

Wanted something that didn’t require taking water to wash it down.

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Easier to consume vs GU packs

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Gel Alternative

I like to use on hot days instead of gels. Gu always has good flavors.

Not a fan of the taste

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Easy to drink, good energy and no caffeine

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

For those who have issues eating this is what you need to use.

I use these for long endurance rides when eating is an issue.
