B-LINE Natural Energy (racingFUEL - Beet Mango, 10 Count) Gluten Free, All Natural, Only 4 real food ingredients to assist in replenishing electrolytes

B-line fuels are my favorite

I must say that this is so very sweet, like shockingly so... lol I can't consume it honestly. It's like a mouthful of pure maple syrup, with a fair bit of salt thrown in. I don't really taste any beet or mango, probably because it's overpowered by how sweet this is. Maybe you'll like it, but it's not for me. That said, I'm sure it does give you a nice boost of energy as suggested, and the ingredients are pure and simple with no extra substances that you can't pronounce the name of.

This gel is the second that I try from B-Line, and my opinion has not changed. With excellent, healthful ingredients—maple syrup, mango powder, beet juice, and pink sea salt—and instant energy after consumption, this source of nutrition is solid. I especially find this gel most useful between very long runs. I appreciate how easy the gel oozes out rather than having to squeeze it out like most other gels that I have tried; however, I do warn the user to be careful because the gel will easily spill out if not careful. For this particular flavor, I do find it much sweeter than other flavors I have tried (of all brands). Overall, this energy gel works well, and I have been satisfied with it thus far.

In a recent trip that covered 50mi hike with 30-40lb backpack in slightly over 60hrs (not having much sleep), I was over exhausted. I was drinking water, but my body was exhausted to the point that my stomach was upset and I didn't have any appetite nor I was able to consume much solid food (mountain house etc..). But this "B-LINE Beet Mango racingFUEL" ended up helping me, to my surprise. I was able to suck this down, and smoothed my stomach a bit. And eventually, I was able to eat solid food again.The flavor of this "Beet Mango" variant is not bad at all, it sounded funky, but in reality, it is just very puree-ish, almost has the viscosity of a syrup or honey, and very sweet. Almost feel like you are sucking in maple syrup directly. The ingredient of this product seems to be natural and respectable, basically just 4 real food ingredients: beet, mango, maple syrup and sea salt. In terms of nutrition facts, each pack has 0g of fat, 0mg of cholesterol, 170mg/7%DV of sodium, 0g of potassium, 0g of protein, 27g of sugar (and a total of 28g/9%DV of carbohydrate).The only things that leave me with a tiny bit of reserve on these are that these are not cheap, and also whether I should be worry about the "shelf life" of these, as they don't seems to have any preservatives or whatsoever in it.Thank you for reading this review, I hoped that this review & the pictures are helpful to you in support of your purchase decision.

When you're on a long run, it's important to get some sugar in your system. It's primarily maple syrup with a few other ingredients. The packaging makes it easy to carry and won't melt or leak. When you're done, it easily rolls up for storage and eventual trash.I've sipped on this after few miles during my long runs and got energy without feeling weighed down.

I've been doing triathlons for years, eaten every gel known to man and experienced gut distress way too many times. I found B-LINE at the Boston Marathon and I've got a new go-to! My taste buds are happy, my gut is happy, I'm happy. The molasses pack is rad and super unique. The chia seeds are definitely different, but the added texture is way better than Gu like salty snot. B-LINE is the winner! - TriGuyB-Line Natural Energy, Raspberry Chia Seeds, 5 Count
