Huma Chia Energy Gel: Apple Cinnamon Review



Apple Cinnamon Chia Energy Gel?  I like all those words! So just like the other Huma gels they have that nice real food nutrition profile.


This one has not fat or caffeine.  So let's start the Apple Cinnamon Challenge!


This one really tastes like…


And I love apple pie, a lot, maybe too much.


Apple pie shame…

No shame with these gels!  Tastes like homemade apple pie filling.  The apple has a cooked apple puree flavor with sharp cinnamon notes.  Most apple gels taste about as natural as this


This is where the fig Newtons flavor of the Chia seeds becomes an asset to the flavor rather than something that detracts from the experience.

It fueled the run great.  No crash. No belly issues.  I did notice the lack of caffeine this time but I think I'm becoming an addict so I need help…

Where does this one stand up in the rankings for the other flavors?

Number one is Chocolate, but Apple Cinnamon is the current second with Cafe Mocha taking up the rear.

Many flavors left!  Who will be the Victor?  The question isn't should you use Huma Chia Energy Gel, the question is which flavor!


Keep checking back for more flavors!
Gotta run...

Huma Chia Energy Gel: Cafe Mocha Review


Ch-ch-ch-chia!  I am an unabashed Chia seed fan.  And we are right in the beginning of the Huma Chia energy Gel taste test off!


I also love mochas!


So what's not to love about cafe mocha energy gels?  And with double caffeine!!




I love their nutrition profile.  Carbs, fat, and protein it's almost real food that you can eat on the go.  And again the Chia Magic really does give you that nice long lasting energy, no crash and burn.  

So as an energy gel product this stuff is awesome as an endurance nutrition product.  But how does it stack up tastewise to the chocolate?

Chia can impart a weird kind of fig taste.  Like fig Newtons.


I love fig Newtons.  But I don't want chocolate fig Newtons.  The cafe mocha doesn't have enough chocolate to overcome that figgy taste for me.  Now would I still grab one of these over a non Chia containing gel?  Most likely.  But would I grab a chocolate flavor over mocha?  Yes!

But the question is what order should you grab the flavors?  Stay tuned to find out!
Gotta run!
