Product Review – GU Energy Gel (Vanilla Bean Flavour) – 2 Stars
There’s a reason that toothpaste is mint flavoured, and not vanilla flavoured. It’s because putting something that tastes and feels like stale, congealed custard in your mouth is not a pleasant experience. The effect is good though. It’s two mouthfuls for a 400KJ hit that is sustained over 45 minutes, and is supplemented by 20mg of caffeine. And as someone who likes a coffee before exercising, that caffeine is a nice little boost. I’ll be interested to see how I go using these for some longer runs, but I think my first step will definitely be to try another flavour.
