I was excited to see the new Peanut Butter GU energy gel (Compare Prices) in my goodie bag from the Portland Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon. While the entire purpose of energy gel is to give you a big shot of sugar energy during endurance exercise, I find most to be too sickeningly sweet. The peanut butter flavor was much more palatable for me. It also includes electrolytes to replace the salt you lose in sweat and to assist in absorbing the water you drink. The Peanut Butter flavor does not contain caffeine. I used it for recovery after a long training walk.
