OTE Sports Energy Gels - Cycling Gels with 20g of Carbohydrates - Energy Gels for Running - 56g x 20 (Apple)

I've been using these energy gels to power through my workouts and help with recovery after intense sessions. I'm really into the orange flavour it's sweet and very moreish.These gels have been a game changer for my longer runs, giving me a quick boost of energy and electrolytes right when I need it. I also love the blackcurrant flavour, which is sweet and has great flavouring too. They really come through when I'm starting to feel wiped out during my activities; just one gel can really give me that extra push I need to get those extra miles in.These gels have been a great addition to my workouts and I always recommend OTE to everyone over the other brands out there.

Much nicer taste than the lemon and lime and easy to digest.

I love the taste of this OTE Energy Gel; apple flavour is a lot better than all other energy gel I have tried so far, very delicious! And yes, it's effective; it does give me an energy boost and wake me up, but it's on the expensive side, though.I like that these are dairy-free, vegan-friendly,soy-free and gluten-free with no artificial colours or flavouring, making them applicable to most people.The size is perfect for carrying while cycling or jogging. The shelf life extended too.My only niggle is that when I tear the top off, the sharp edges of the packaging hurt my mouth(see Images); I find only one side is curvy( On Amazon images, there are two sides curvy).I need to take extra care while drinking to prevent scratching my mouth. It could be much better if the packaging would have a little lid so that it is safe to drink and I don't have to drink it all in one go once opened.I hope this review helps you to make a purchasing decision.

Really like these for cycling, especially as they have no caffeine in

typically go for 3-5 mile runs every other day however with majority of gyms closing down in my area, I would run a few extra miles just to stay active. These Gel packs unable me to sustain my runs longer with adding more miles and gives me a quick burst of energy and electrolytes to ensure I can power through the runs.It terms of the flavour I went with apple and it is an acquired taste. It’s not bad but it’s quite sweet. Sickeningly sweet to some extent if you were to have a few a week, you may get sick of them. Nevertheless it may just be my taste buds, the taste is bearable. Say you are out cycling and you start to feel like you're running out of gas: shoot one of these and you're good to go.It’s become my primary fuel source during workouts now as it helps with endurance and pushing yourself further. It I a short spell of energy so only use it before a work out or when in need of an urgent pick me up. All in all a great product and great value for money.

I have tried this energy booster but to be honest, I feel rather sleepy than ready for action.. Even energy drinks dont do much to me, i dont know why.. My husband found these gels more useful for himself. At least one of us can enjoy the "power".The apple taste is ok, with some citrus added to it. I like apples so it's fine with me.The sachets are fiddly as they dont have any lid so once open we should consume it straight away. It's like slightly thicker apple juice.I noticed that this product will expire in May 22, that's 10 months left, it's ok, will go surely before that.It's much healthier than energy drink but for its amount it's quite pricey..

Sadly as my knees have pretty much given up the ghost these days, these were unlikely to be used for any extreme sporting activities. I actually got these as an emergency electrolyte replacement for when one of the family is feeling poorly and in need of a boost.It turns out that happened sooner than I was expecting. My 8 year old daughter who suffers from motion sickness was sick on a short trip we were taking to a local music festival (made even more unfortunate as it was on one of the hottest days of the year!). Luckily I had packed a few of these in our bag and after she had recovered at the roadside, I gave her one to use. Now I know one sachet is probably recommended for one adult so we let her have only half the sachet and then I had the rest of it to see what it was like. The apple flavoured variety (that we got) is nice and very sweet and the packaging is easy and mess free. Tear of the corner to sip or tear the off the entire top to gulp it down, though do note that once opened by either way that you cannot reseal the pack.We then spent the next 7 hours roasting in a hot field (obviously being sensible and staying hydrated) but at least I knew that my daughter had had some electrolytes replaced that had been lost when she was sick.So I'd say that these are great to have around regardless of whether you are an active sports person or not. They aren't necessarily the cheapest way to replace electrolytes but they are tasty, a great size for trips and have a good shelf life, plus as they do not need to be kept refrigerated, a few can be kept in the car or thrown into any medical emergency bag you may have at home.

I got the orange variety and they taste great. Citrus-y and fresh flavour.My partner is the main user of these as he has been doing more intense exercise recently. He said he liked the flavour and were easy to pack in a small bag (or even a pocket). No mess when consuming them either which is great.He said it helped him feel refreshed and re-energised midway through working out. He did point out, however, that there are other products like this that are cheaper and give very similar results. It works well but it is something he would only buy again if it were better value for money (perhaps £1 per sachet).
