English term or phrase: goos and ices
All energy bars, goos, and ices are not created equal. Some pack in the carbohydrates, proteins, or fats. Others bring in vitamins and minerals. The flavors are plentiful, too, with cookies and cream, cappuccino, lemon poppy seed, and chocolate raspberry fudge appealing to the taste buds.

gelatinas y helados
Explanation:
"Goos" is the plural of "goo" which is a kind of sports nutrition energy product, there are now various types of "goos" available. All of them are liquid, all contain various mixtures of proteins, carbohydrates and minerals and all of them are designed to improve athletic performance. The original "goo" was actually spelled "GU" because, in English, the word "goo" is relatively unappealing but "GU" doesn't sound so bad. All of the terms in your question (goos, bars and ices) are nutritional products designed to improve athletic performance. Look at the links and references provided for more information, under the definition for "goo" look at definition # 1. HTH.

Explanation:
Could it possibly be "goods"? with a missing letter?
Can't find "goos" in this context.

If you can't find it, maybe you can put
"barritas, batidos y helados energéticos"

son los formatos mâs tîpicos de este tipo de productos...

You know how much we love Clif Bar. And when we read a blurb in the New York Times yesterday about their new Shot Bloks, we were definitely excited. Made, of course, from organic ingredients these new energy chews are perfect for excessive exercise. The nonsticky blocks are just 33 calories each and can sustain glucose levels for a two-hour run, hike or ride.

They are exactly "new," I've been using them for over a year, but they are a big improvement over the taste and mess of their energy goo. The packaging is a bit overabundant, and is something they need to work on.

Cuidado que "ice" nunca equivale a "ice-cream"(helado).
