For shorter runs straight after work I take one of these just before I start to give me a boost, so I don't flag halfway through - they tide me over until I have my evening meal. For longer runs (including half and full Marathons) I've found these help keep me going when my reserves start getting lower. I've only tried this flavour (as I'm a caffeine addict), but it really hits the spot. Packs are easy to open whilst running and the mixture is like a thick sugary goo (may not be to everyone's taste), so always best to have some water to wash it down with. There are smaller pack sizes available in mixed flavours too, so you could try them if you're not sure about the flavours, consistency or benefits. Highly recommended. Review: Great product at best price! - Excellent product for high intensity physical activity. Can be consumed whilst running & gives instant fuel. Espresso flavour is great. This is the best price i could find anywhere! Very happy with purchase. ## Features - Created for daily training & competition, GU Energy Gel packs calories in a portable packet to help sustain energy demands of any duration. - The 100-calorie packet contains maltodextrin and fructose which use non-competing pathways - Using these absorption pathways help maximize absorption while diminishing stomach distress. - Sodium, the primary electrolyte lost in sweat, aids in hydration by maintaining water balance. - The branched-chain amino acids (leucine, valine, isoleucine) may reduce mental fatigue and decrease muscle damage. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0006U6I0U | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | 73,498 in Health & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Health & Personal Care ) 737 in Nutrition Bars & Drinks 3,031 in Sports Supplements | | Brand | GU | | Brand Name | GU | | Colour | Espresso Love | | Container Type | Packet | | Country Of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,111 Reviews | | Diet Type | Plant Based | | Dosage Form | Liquid | | Flavour | Espresso Love | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00769493200082 | | Item Dimensions | 17.1 x 11.4 x 6.4 centimetres | | Item Form | Gel | | Item Nype Name | Energy Gel with Electrolytes | | Item Weight | 1.1 Pounds | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 17.1 x 11.4 x 6.4 centimetres | | Item form | Gel | | Item weight | 1.1 Pounds | | Manufacturer | GU Energy Labs | | Manufacturer Contact Information | Importer: Becker Distributions GmbH, Hallenstr. 3a, 68219 Mannheim, Germany +49 621 8325489 | | Manufacturer Part Number | 123050 | | Model Name | Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel | | Model Number | 123050 | | Number of Items | 6 | | Special Ingredients | Green Tea (Leaf) Extract | | Specific Uses For Product | Daily training and competition | | Total Servings Per Container | 24 | | UPC | 769493200082 | | Unit Count | 768.0 gram | | Unit count | 768.0 gram | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** Adult - **Brand:** GU - **Diet type:** Plant Based - **Flavour:** Espresso Love - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 17.1 x 11.4 x 6.4 centimetres - **Item form:** Gel - **Item weight:** 499 g - **Package information:** Packet - **Special ingredients:** Green Tea (Leaf) Extract - **Unit count:** 768.0 gram ## Images ![Energy Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel, 24-Count, Espresso Love - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71BOnYCu6hL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: what is the taste of the tastefully nude variety?** A: I just tried the Tastefully Nude for the first time. It's sweet and slightly vanilla-ish, but otherwise doesn't have a lot of flavor (which is the point). Very little aftertaste and doesn't leave your mouth feeling coated in a film. **Q: Are those gluten free?** A: It does not say on the box. I would recommend to contact the GU company directly. **Q: Is this one box of 24 packets?** A: Yes. **Q: Any tennis players use this product? Have tried another brand (coffee & chocolate) and gets me all jittery which is not good for a tennis match** A: If the jittery feeling you experienced was from caffeine, you can rest assured that this flavor (Strawberry Banana) is caffeine free. If you have any other questions or would like to speak to a GU customer service rep please call 800-400-1995 and we will be happy to discuss flavors and ingredients with you.

The consistency is a little thicker than others, and it genuinely tastes like coffee, so it has become a joy to consume these on a run. Would completely recommend. ## Frequently Bought Together - GU Energy Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Kosher, and Dairy-Free On-the-Go Energy for Any Workout, 24-Count, Espresso Love - Honey Stinger Organic Honey Waffle Energy Stroopwafel for Exercise, Endurance and Performance Sports Nutrition for Home & Gym, Pre and Post Workout Box of 16 Waffles, 16.96 Ounce (Pack of 16) - GU Energy Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Kosher, and Dairy-Free On-the-Go Energy for Any Workout, 8-Count, Chocolate Outrage --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/48631447-energy-original-sports-nutrition-energy-gel-24-count-espresso-love](https://www.desertcart.us/products/48631447-energy-original-sports-nutrition-energy-gel-24-count-espresso-love) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-24*
