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 they vegan?** A: Hi, thanks for the great question. Yes, all GU Energy Gels and Roctane Energy Gels are vegan. Cheers, -Brian, GU Energy Labs **Q: Is this product kosher?** A: There’s no K label on the packaging **Q: Do you have take these with water? What happens if you don't?** A: It all depends on your body. You don't HAVE to take them with water, but some people like to. You open up the packet and it is basically like a heavy paste you squeeze into your mouth. It is thicker than syrup. I love them. I love the taste of all of them. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good *by on Reviewed in Sweden 4 November 2024* This energy gel is really good. It tastes good and gives me the energy I need during my long runs. The only thing I would like is for the closure to be more practical because I eat half of it at a certain distance and then the other half after a few km and it is uncomfortable to carry it in my hand so that it does not spill in the bag of my shorts. If it had a "cap" that can be opened and closed easily it would be very comfortable. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 23 August 2014* Love them. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love these! *by on Reviewed in the United States 27 May 2026* Love these.
