Pros: One of the less extravagant flavors. What I mean is that the vanilla almost tastes caramel like. Its a milder flavor as compared to say the Chocolate, and sits well with the stomach. Energy gels are a great choice to use when you don't want something heavy sitting in your stomach. I can not say that I get an ENERGY BURST, but taking one or two of these definitely keeps the energy at an even level.

Recommendation: I would recommend the GU Vanilla Bean Gel

Pros: Easy to open and transport. Works quickly, you can usually feel a surge of energy within 10-15 minutes. Vanilla is the best flavor - tastes like vanilla pudding!

Cons: Can only stand eating 1-2 of these on any given ride.

Recommendation: Convenient to eat for 1-2 hrs of riding or racing. On longer rides, bring something more substantial in addition to gu (preferably something with protein).

Recommendation: I'd say that it may be a little pricey and hard to find offling and local and i think all Gu gels and gives you plenty of enrgy for your ride.
