I don't know about you, but finding the right fuel for a workout is really daunting and not always successful. With gels and gummies galore it's really hard to know what is the right choice for your body, workout and pocketbook. I have tried several brands and honesty have to admit that I just don't like gels in general. I've found that chews or gummies are a better fit for me because I can take a smaller amount over steady intervals versus the one shot hit from a pouch of gel. Plus gels, are just less palatable for me. But that doesn't mean that I think gummies are ideal either. They get sticky and I feel like I need a dentist after eating them.
So when Frog Fuel contacted me about trying their protein shots I was skeptical but excited. This gel was created by Navy Seals and is comprised of easy to digest proteins, amino acids, and caffeine. It's got some good stuff in it and some legit science behind it.

I would use this gel again for my 90 minutes high intensity workouts. The convenience of it, the taste and the overall concoction make the shot valuable. But more likely than not, on my long runs I'll still use gummies. The regular interval of fuel that I can pop with a small chew/gummy suits my endurance work better.
