So I have been using Nuun and gels or fig newtons during training. This works well for me. Recently I have decided to start using an energy drink (Nuun is just electrolytes) for racing purposes. I also like having a drink with some calories for swim work outs. I picked up some GU Brew in lemon lime. While I tolerate it fine I don't like the taste of it. It is bitter. Are the other flavors better? I hate to plunk down money for another big tub if they are all bitter.

I have some GU brew tabs I use on rides to save my Infinit for long days. The only flavor I've tried is strawberry lemonade and I really like the flavor.

Thanks. I looked at the tabs and they are just electrolytes similar to Nuun tablets. I guess it's just the tubs of powders GU Brew that has carbs.

Gotcha. Have you looked into Infinit nutrition? The have several flavors and you can set the strength of the flavor as well as the strength of carbs, protein, ect. I love the stuff, however it can be kind of expensive to use as an everyday training supplement.

Yeah, I have looked at Infinit.  Looks good but like you  said a bit expensive to use daily.  I am actually thinking about just buying some maltodextrin.  I could add it to my water with Nuun.

Energy bars and fluid replacement drinks have their place – and will surely be the subject of future reviews – but there is nothing quite like the immediate lift an energy gel can provide.
