Huma Gel Post Workout Recovery Smoothie, 12 Pouches, Variety - 14g Complete Protein in Ready to Drink Shake

After my run yesterday, I had the Strawberry flavored pound and it was pretty good. The texture was a bit unusual as it was kind of chalky but it wasn't bad in anyway, just unique. I historically have had a Combat protein powder drink after but I like this way more as the ingredients speak to me way more. I live in Scottsdale, Arizona where it's hot AF so for me, electrolytes and salts are extremely important in recovery plus too much protein after running makes me sick in the heat. Also, they're pretty convenient to travel with but make sure you keep them chilled.The only downside is the texture but then again, it's not that bad, just noticeable. Don't let this be a factor in your decision as this is just for Huma to make note of. I imagine they are working to perfect this as I type this.I love these and have recommended these to my friends.

Update 1/28/19: My wife has tried both flavors and has given them an A and a 5/5. Just goes to show you how subjective nutrition products can be. Both very pleased with the convenience of the product!I have used and enjoy the Huma gel products regularly in running and triathlon training, and was excited to try out their new recovery option. Overall grade: B-Pros:-Convenient form factor-Easy to transport-Great flavorCons:-I don't like the chalky texture present in both Strawberry in Mango-The Mango flavor comes across as incredibly potent and very sweet (even though I was expecting a sweet kick already)Overall, I enjoyed the Strawberry more than the Mango, but with both flavors I feel like I needed to accompany the smoothie with a very large glass of water. It's not thick like a gel, but the texture reminds me more of a gel than a self-contained smoothie.A definite step in the right direction, and come a second iteration, I think this will be a very successful product and part of my recovery :-)

These make recovery easy and stress-free!I'm a huge fan of the Huma gels so when these were released I was very excited to try them out.I'll be honest I couldn't wait for a workout to taste them (I'm impatient)! Open them both immediately and was very pleasantly surprised by the flavor. It was the perfect blend of sweet and tart for me as some have said refreshing which I would agree with.I can't pick which one I like best because to me they're both good in their own way. These would be great on a long hike, wonderful after a long run or a hard workout in general. Easy post run snack when you want something healthy and clean. Two thumbs up from me!

I've been using Huma Gels for years, so when they released a post-workout recovery gel, I was really excited to try it. I'm a brand loyal person, so the more I can get from one place, the better.I've been able to try both flavors and love them both. They are light on the stomach, but satisfy in the way you need after a long workout. My body feels replenished, and it holds me over until my next real meal, so that I'm not ravenous for the rest of the day. The taste of both flavors is great, but the texture took me a little by surprise, having been used to the original Huma Gels. But, after that first sip, you get used to it. I would describe the texture like the regular Huma Gels, with protein mixed in.These gels are also super convenient. Throw them an in your bag and they are there waiting for you for when you're done your workout. No opening seperate packages and mixing with water.I'll definitely be keeping these in my nutrition routine during my marathon and triathlon training this year!

This is a good idea for multiple day relay races where you are living out of a cooler or longer runs where you need on the go nutrition. Mouth feel is a little grainy and stodgy but the taste isn't that bad. The strawberry was mildly sour but I am glad it wasn't overly sweet. I suggest you have water on hand when eating, that seemed to make it a little more appealing. Overall a nice product if you don't have access to a blender and need some calories in a hurry.

I am so glad to have a recovery 'food' available as soon as I am finished with my run. I've used recovery foods before, most of which are drinks that I need to make from a powder form, which doesn't seem like a big deal, but often I finish a run especially if I'm in a remote location, I'll get back to my car and not have water left to mix up the drink, so now I have to remember to keep extra water in the car, which usually isn't a problem but sometimes I do forget. Now I can have a Huma Recovery gel right there ready for me whenever I'm ready for it. I agree with another reviewer that although its not exactly like the taste of the Strawberry Huma Gel it is still very good and easy to go down. I've been using Huma gels for years so was pumped to see they released a recovery food as well, I love their real food blends with all natural ingredients!

I have been a fan of Huma for a while, using their original and now plus products. I was excited when I heard they were putting out a recovery product. Surprisingly I liked the Mango Banana a little more than the strawberry, I usually am not much of a mango guy.I run early in the morning one recovery pouch post run was just what I need to recover me between post run and when I get around to making breakfast. It is filling without feeling full. Legs felt great and ready to go again the next day.Great product, in my opinion, it will be incorporated into my marathon training for sure. Well done guys!
