Original Energy Gels, Chocolate Outrage 24 Pack - 100 Calorie Energy Gel with Carbohydrates, Caffeine, BCAAs and Electrolytes - Pre-Workout Fuel for Running, Cycling, Triathlon and Endurance Sports

Wasn't sure about this flavour (I already like/use GU products) but after reading a review that said they were good, I went for it. The reviewer was right, they are actually very nice on the palate and as usual are good for their main purpose of keeping me upright and moving!

I started using chocolate GU as fuel for long runs only quite recently having been looking for an alternative to traditional fruit flavour gels for a long time, which I find difficult to get down, although it's worth it if you can do it. Chocolate gel seemed likely to be even more nausea-inducing, but in fact I found the opposite was true of chocolate GU, and I was able to have them at regular intervals throughout a recent marathon and finished in much better shape than I expected. I will definitely be using them again.

Taste is surprisingly pleasant, and lots of calories for a small pack, so easy to carry around for long runs / endurance events. My fav energy gel by far.

Absolutely delicious- although I did need a sip of water to get down. Definitely give you a boost of energy and definitely recommend.

Great to be able to buy these in bulk and have my home looking like a shop... if the other flavours were cheaper though I would go for the caramel or the espresso.

The Gu was very good value for money and arrived sooner than I expected. I will be re ordering.

My favorite flavour, and cheaper here than elsewhere on the net. Not too sweet, can be a bit gloopy when cold though.

Chocolate energy. Yum!

The energy gel tastes really good, thick chocolate, works well (give energy boost), and pleasant to consume during running.

Ger bra eneri efter en kort stund, smakar helt ok om man gillar choklad, ok pris för vad du får.

Cumplen muy bien su función para apoyar en entrenamiento y carreras largas. Fáciles de digerir, buen sabor y alta energía

Yummy! I’m a chocoholic and this tastes great - like good chocolate pudding. No weird after taste. Easy to open and eat out of the package. Seems to work well and give me the boost I need. Does have caffeine in it but about the same amount as decaf coffee/tea. I only drink decaf so I did my research.

In a nutshell: Energy gel that keeps you going when going gets you tough. Well, until your knees give out or something. What it is: It's an energy gel formulated for endurance athletes (never mind that not a lot of us who use the products like these will ever win a New York Marathon or something; if you participate, you're an athlete, right?) I've got the Chocolate Outrage version, which has 32g of mixture containing various carbs, amino acid, and rather marginal amount of caffeine. The price comes down to roughly $1 per pack, which might be a bit hard to swallow (no pun intended). What it's like: It's a chocolatey paste that's easy to squeeze out and suck on from the pouch while running. It recommends you to drink water while eating this; I recommend the same (and try for water instead of sports drink; water works better for washing this down). I used this for my first (and last?) marathon, at the recommended pace of one pack 15 minutes before the race, and every 45 minutes of activity... it was cut closer to an hour than 45 minutes, as it does take some time to get absorbed to your body. Thanks to it, I was able to finish the marathon despite my body basically refusing to run the last few miles. If nothing else, I had the energy to go further, if not the joints. And that's probably due to my inadequate training; this is no miracle worker in that it lets you do things you normally wouldn't do. Or maybe it does... it's just that having the energy to do things doesn't translate to having the physical capacity to run ridiculous distances. Does it work?: I think so. But it doesn't seem to have replenished any electrolytes... so I guess you should use sports drink with this, after all. In conclusion: these packs work wonders in keeps you going in the energy department--follow the instruction and I'm sure you won't bonk halfway through. Don't forget to train, though!
