My staple carb sources in summer can't deliver when it gets cold. Liquids can serve as the main source in summer with organic gummy bears or a gel to supplement. In winter, not enough liquid gets consumed to deliver the 60-90 grams I need per hour on hard days, and both the gummy bears and gels get too firm. These being liquid rather than gel goes down easily in the cold. I love the taste, and also that no highly unwanted artificial stuff has been added. 50 grams at once is no joke so I won't take one unless I've already been doing high intensity and desire to continue to have maximum energy available for sprints until the very end of the ride.
I really like the Carbs gels. 200 calories and 50g carbs per gel, and all for only $2 bucks/gel. The taste is fairly neutral, which is nice, and they work great. Definitely would recommend these to others!
Easy to ingest and definitely the most cost-effective solution for high carb intake that I've seen on the market so far. My go-to for quick carb intake before a race or hard ride well as during a race or hard ride. Makes hitting carb goals very easy!
50 grams of carbs for 1.50 is amazing it's a great gel one of my favorites
The Carbs gels are the perfect consistency that I've been looking for. The "gel" has a more liquid type consistency so its easier to empty a packet into your mouth while pedaling and its easier to swallow. These gels are easy on my stomach and I do not get sick of the taste. I'm supplementing these with a carb mixture in my bottle for a 100g / hr consumption on my hard four hour rides.
Initial taste is fine, but it is quickly overwhelmed by a very bad aftertaste.
In addition to training rides, I recently used Carbs Fuel gels for a 16 hour overnight race. I consumed one 50g gel and 50g of homemade drink mix every hour and no solid foods. I felt strong throughout, and experienced *zero* gastrointestinal discomfort! Additionally, the neutral flavor made it easy to put down hour after hour. And all for a price that doesn't make me cringe :D
Train with it. U will carry less gels. Price you can't beat for now.
Light taste, easy on the gut, 50 gr of carb!
