HIGH5 Energy Gel Aqua Liquid Quick Release Energy On The Go from Natural Fruit Juice (20 x 66g Sachets) (Berry)

Highly recommend for half marathon or long runs

I like the way thickness is measured – I gave thickness 5 stars but don’t know if thick is good or bad, but anyway this is a quality energy booster and the taste is great. Not all are. The only issue is price – I thought this particular deal was pretty good but shop around for the best. The real reason I’m writing this review is to counter a claim made by another reviewer who said using these means he doesn’t need to carry water. Well, if he’s running less than 10km then I’m sure you don’t need to carry water anyway, but these are not a fluid substitute. You think they’re a fluid because they’re a gel but your body treats it like food. So these gel energy products are a booster only, never a water substitute. Good luck out there. I’m just putting off going for a run...

These are great for long runs, easily carried and consumed. However, the box I received was short dated.

For somebody who finds most gels too "thick", the Aqua one feels more like drink than a gel. It's fruity, gentle on a stomach and, most importantly, boost energy mid-long-run.

Firstly the flavour is good. Pretty much tastes like berry and easy to drink. There is a category on thickness which I think I might be storing this wrong as I leave this in a cupboard because it’s completely watery rather than a gel. My main problem is my refuelling process is awful so by the time I take any type of energy gel or food I’m usually completely rinsed out and missing the full benefit. I’m giving 5 stars mainly because it taste like berries and was cheap upon purchase. It doesn’t bother me that it is watery as it’s actually easier to consume but maybe it’ll taste better if it was thicker like gel.
