Customer Reviews
Raspberry Lemonade FTWFueled me almost exclusively for a 100k. No stomach issues at all. Raspberry Lemonade has been my go-to flavor for these for a few years now. You don’t get the usual overwhelmingly sugary taste. They seem lighter and the tartness covers the classic syrupy flavor. Other flavors do the job, but I’m not much of a sweets eater so the sugary taste of most, just grosses me out.

Pretty goodI like Gu gels in general, they tend to be pretty tasty and are at a great price point. Usually I don’t have any problems getting them down, unless it’s a super hot day in summer and I’m going at a high intensity - in that circumstance the flavor and stickiness is a bit off putting to me.

Previous Feedback
Comments: I can tolerate most flavors of GU. Strawberry banana is the only flavor I dislike. That was until I tried fresh toast flavor! Definitely not what I expected. I did expect a maple syrup but this tasted more like a cheap pancake syrup flavor and nothing more. I guess their French toast recipes do not include any other hints of flavor such as cinnamon or nutmeg or even vanilla. I usually do not have any GI issues with GU, but after this one I became nauseated and had stomach cramps. I suggest trying one pack before buying in bulk.

Comments: These have always worked really well for me for longer runs and triathlons-I'm one of those who can't handle much on my stomach during training and racing and these have rarely-never given me any GI issues. I will say than in the summer I will supplement with some salt-stick tablets every hour for longer events, due to being a very salty sweater and living in the most humid part of the country! Would be curious to try the Roctane gel...a bit more expensive though!
From: EF. February 16th 2017
Comments: I've been using GU for marathons and long training runs for years. When feeling bottomed-out after miles of running, it gives me the pick-me-up that I need to keep moving. Little to no GI issues for me with this product.
From: Anonymous. October 10th 2016
Comments: Very nice product. I have used for years as a competitive cyclist and now runner. No GI problems. Currently training for full marathon and use GU brand exclusively during my Sunday long runs. GU is high quality fuel that does not bother your GI.
