Summary
GU Energy Labs Liquid Energy Gels provide similar energy and fuel to their original energy gels but in liquid form. GU Energy Labs says you can even freeze them to have an “energy gel slushie”. There is a mix of simple and complex carbohydrates for quick and long-lasting energy during all your workouts. These are available in fewer flavors than the original GU energy gels, but like the gels, there are both caffeinated and caffeine-free flavors. These have very positive customer reviews.
