"I was really surprised by these! They not only work but taste great and are easy to swallow. I struggle with low blood sugar, and during tough workouts, I often feel nauseous or faint. However, with these, I’ve avoided those symptoms and completed my workouts just with these chews. I highly recommend them to anyone who has low blood sugar issues or feels weak during exercise!"

"For my longer runs, these are perfect! They taste wonderful, are easy to digest, and I can eat them on the move. They provide a fantastic energy boost and are definitely my go-to for endurance!"

"I’ve always enjoyed Honey Stinger products, and these chews are no exception! The flavors—fruit punch, cherry blossom, and passion fruit—are all delicious. During my half marathon training, I consume 6 chews about 40 minutes into my run and every 25 minutes after. They offer great energy, are easy to eat while running, and fit nicely in my running belt without hassle!"

"I've always loved Cliff bars, so I might be a bit biased, but the taste and texture are great. They work well for my cardio sessions, even if they are a little pricey for the quantity."

"Before his hockey games, my son uses these and says they are delicious and provide extra energy. They’re also convenient to carry around and offer good quality as a supplement."

"As a new runner, I found all the flavors enjoyable. They really work quickly when I eat them and have a nice gummy bear texture, not slimy at all. Just need to be cautious about the sugar content; I noticed my gut health could be affected if I consume too many."

"As an avid runner, I've been using Skratch Labs for a while now. These chews are easily ingested and not too sticky, making them one of my favorites. I enjoy every flavor, but they’re unique and fantastic! They’re coated just enough to feel like a treat without sticking to everything. Each package offers two servings, which makes it hard not to devour the entire bag at once. They fuel my runs really well!"

"I've recently tried the orange flavor, and oh my gosh, they are now my favorite! The raspberry is great too, but the orange is amazing. These chews provide a clean boost of energy without the jitters, which I absolutely love. I even feel like I sleep better and wake up earlier without feeling tired. Though they’re a bit pricey, I don’t mind because they work wonders for me!"

"I was searching for energy chews for my long runs and decided to give Skratch Labs a shot. I'm really pleased with the taste and the energy boost they provide. While they can get slightly sticky in hot weather, they’re much better than other options out there. Plus, I appreciate that they're vegan!"

"After trying these for the first time, I was pleasantly surprised. They taste amazing and are so much easier to eat than gels. I even managed to PR my 5k after using them. I’m excited to keep using them on my longer runs!"

"I was eager to try these organic energy chews but felt skeptical about their effectiveness. I was pleasantly surprised as I didn't experience jitters and managed to get a lot done. The calories per serving were higher than expected, but it's worth it for a natural energy boost!"

"I bought these for my marathon and they truly worked! I used to prefer liquid energy but these chews have great flavor. I tested them beforehand and felt fantastic on race day with no stomach issues. Highly recommend them for anyone, even those with sensitive stomachs!"

"I find these CLIF BLOKS in Black Cherry with caffeine to be game-changers for my long walks! The taste is surprisingly good, and they're easy to chew without being too sticky. I notice the energy boost quickly, and the caffeine helps me keep pushing forward. Plus, they’re plant-based and non-GMO, which I love. The small packaging makes them easy to carry, and I appreciate that I can just take one or two and save the rest for later. They're definitely my go-to for a quick, effective fuel on the go!"

"I generally consume two tubes of these on most of my rides, which are usually 40-50 miles each. They have a good taste and are not messy like most gels. The caffeine really helps my performance. My only concern is the price, as they can get quite expensive if I use that many."

"I've been using this product for years to fuel my cardio workouts, and it's my 'go-to' option. However, I do have a small complaint; the product is often packaged in a way that individual packages fall out of the box. Sometimes, the boxes arrive taped or sealed in an outer plastic bag, but that's not always the case. Recently, I received a box where I was shorted four packages, but I’m grateful to Amazon for resolving it quickly."

"Salted watermelon is my absolute favorite! I find myself rationing them during activities, and at home, I really have to show restraint to avoid snacking on them."

"Switching from GU Gel to GU Gummies was a game-changer for me. The taste is fantastic, and I feel they give me a faster energy boost than gels."

"I appreciate that these chews are gentle on my stomach and easy to eat. However, I wasn't a fan of the orange flavor, but I loved the others!"

"At first, I found them not so tasty, but I got used to the fruity flavor. I take two at a time sometimes and feel my body recovers faster. They offer great hydration and a boost in performance, making them worth the value. I'm definitely going to keep purchasing these due to their quality ingredients and the fact that there are no side effects. Just a tip: drink plenty of water and eat something afterward to avoid any discomfort."

"I was a bit hesitant to order these because of the mixed reviews on taste. However, I was pleasantly surprised! The tablets taste great—not chalky or overly sweet. They taste like candy to me, and even though there's a slight salty taste at the end, it's not unpleasant. I do daily Peloton workouts and stay active with a newborn, so I eat several a day. I will definitely reorder and recommend them!"

"I tried the fruit punch and lemon flavors, and I think the fruit punch is better. I feel compelled to give this product five stars because many options out there are fake.
