Huma Chia Energy Gel

Easy on stomach, decent fuel

I have used these for several years - taste / texture is good and they agree well with my stomach. I have never had a “gut bomb” issue even on the caffeinated gels. Flavor is good (raspberry is great, blackberry a little tart but fine). I would use these as a pre-race gel for a 5k or 10k for sure or for training runs. Where they fall short for me personally is the carb count - for a marathon or half marathon effort I personally find I need 40-50g gels and these just don’t come close. For others they may work great and are worth a try. I’d love to see Huma come out with a higher-carb gel because these are a great product, I don’t get the artificial flavor fatigue I do with other gels and it feels a little more like I’m eating a “real” food, which agrees with my stomach.

Actually tastes like real food

Gels are necessary on a long run and I really like having something that isn't just purely sweet, but actually tastes like it came from a real fruit instead of just a flavor of something. I have not had any other gels that I like better than these.

Humans Are The BEST!

Easy to consume on a long run, just the right amount of sweet. Similar to apple sauce but smoother and different fruity flavors. 11/10 recommend for long runs if you don’t like Gu, but don’t wanna get something too flavorless.
