These have been little short of a revelation. I think it probably depends on whether you like the taste of mint or not, but if you were brought up with Kendal Mint Cake – as I was – your mind is about to be slightly blown. If, like me, you remember eating it on childhood holidays reluctantly hiking up various bits of the UK, you’ll remember the minty sugar rush well. Those levels of sugar have now been subdued (spoilsports!) in this range from the KMC. I tested a variety here, but particularly liked the Citrus and Mint version. Stashed with electrolytes and added vitamins, the gels are super refreshing, and a nice size too, at 70g. The tabs were much easier to rip off than my normal type (mentioning no names), and the caffeine version made a bit of a star turn during my virtual London Marathon, perking up the last few miles no end. Great taste, no weird additives, vegan, GF and a brilliant performer.
