Strawberry Kiwi

For literally decades I used a competitors product because it was good (flavor-wise) but it added to my workout efforts. However, that manufacturer phased out the flavor I used, so finding a replacement became a goal. My biochemistry is a "delicate ecosystem" so just getting another energy gel wasn't a simple task. Having a synthesis of ingredients that do not spike (as well as the expected aid in replenishment) is what I look for nd need. And tasting good is always what makes it from "good" to "best." And the price is right.

Boom a short carb shot of taste and energy. Not overly sweet and easy to consume. Packaging is smart and easy to use at the gym/workout or while traveling there. Very good energy gel for the money. Very happy with price and consumption into my system

Flavor is good (for what it is). I was sweating ammonia and bonking... these solved my need for fuel during long runs. Easy to carry and easy to open.

Too sweet in my opinion as most other products , but over all decent product

I've used GU for years and tried boom! Its a bit bigger in size, less thick, easy to consume. In hot weather it become too thin IMO Tastes nice and do the job

This is my go to gel because I prefer my gels to have low sugar. There are other gels out there with comparable sugar levels but then the ratio of sugar to carbs is still high so the overall caloric serving of the gel ends up being low (in the 80 calorie range). If you don't care about your sugar intake there are other brands out there that offer other things like electrolytes or "all natural ingredients" but in the end, when you have to use 3 gels per outing, the sugar starts adding up. Especially if you're having a mealbar at some point, you're looking well above your daily sugar threshold (~35g) and you probably still have real meals to look forward to. I've tried every flavor but Apple Cinnamon and Banana Peach and none of them are particularly offensive. I will say as someone who drinks pretty strong coffee/espresso/yerba mate the caffeinated Vanilla Orange did nothing for me. Drink plenty of water with these to avoid an upset stomach. And if you need electrolytes, it shouldn't be particularly hard to put Smart Water in your bidons.

After trying all the expensive gels on the market, this is the only one that doesn’t upset my stomach. It’s no fuss, strictly carbs and simple ingredients. I usually take one gel every 30 minutes while racing. I’ve used up to 22 of these in one race, and have been fine. If you don’t like sweet gels, this might not be the one for you, but for the price, it’s worth a try

Very similar to GU but with about 10% more carbs per packet
