Struggled with fuelling/recovery due to digestive challenges (think IBS) for many years. Most products seem to be fructose based which for me is a trigger food, tried these a few weeks ago after some long rides. Easy to mix, no lumps, just tip in bottle and quick shake. Taste was fine, like cold chocolate milk shake, infact I added some oat milk to one portion, no after effects which was the best outcome. The best by date was no issue for me, but dont tell everyone, I need some more.
