The caramel latte supplements the guarana with real coffee. When is a gel not a gel? When it's a Clif Blok.

Some products also contain caffeine, which can help to give a mental and physical boost during the last hours of a race, while others contain electrolytes which help the body to stay hydrated.

This can be in the form of gels, drinks or solids.

The flip side is that they're harder to ingest, as you need to chew them as you ride. They're a lot easier to chew than an energy bar though in our experience and can be consumed "on the side" more easily as you ride, although as with a bar you probably need some water to wash them down. The format is also more compact than a gel, while delivering more energy, making it easier to carry fuel for longer rides. There's a range of five flavors available, two with caffeine when you need that extra stimulation to get you to the finish line. Buyer's guide to the best energy gels
