Huma Energy Gels Plus

When it comes to running nutrition, I sometimes want to feel like Rocky in Rocky IV, and other times, I want to feel like Ivan Drago. With its all natural ingredients and ingredient list full of only things that I can pronounce, the Huma Energy Gels Plus definitely falls on the Rocky Balboa side of the spectrum. Plus, it also has caffeine, which I particularly enjoy.

I was able to take one of these gels along with me on a half marathon length run that was relatively leisurely. Since filming the video, I was also able to use it during a harder treadmill run, which only confirmed my thoughts in this video.

Because of it's all natural, is gluten free, and vegan, comparisons to Spring Energy's Canaberry come to mind. And compared to that, the Huma Chia Energy Plus packet also tastes like regular food, but it is not quite as thick. The lemonade part of the strawberry lemonade flavor that I had provided a nice tart citrus flavor that I tend to really enjoy in running gels. And the caffeine did provide a nice little bump (although a little more caffeine wouldn't hurt). But my favorite part about this running gel was that it has a high amount of sodium, and sodium depletion is something that I am quite concerned about when it comes to longer race distances.

Overall, I really enjoyed this gel, and because it tastes great, is easy on the stomach (although it did make me momentarily gassy), is easy to carry, and has that high amount of sodium, the Huma Chia Energy Plus is definitely something I'll be buying more of, and it'll be high on my list for running nutrition to carry for my next marathon.

Thanks for watching! Leave a comment to let me know you stopped by!
