I’ve been doing some research on the ingredients that are used in most common gels. I’m starting to seek out more natural alternatives or potentially things that work just as well well that are a common product I might be overlooking.
Stuff like applesauce, gummies etc
This doesn’t come from a cost perspective. Just more of a simplier ingredient profile. Less questionable ingredients.
I’m curious to learn what some of you may use as an alternative to Gels.
Thanks!
You can try Medjool dates. Or Aerobee (which is a gel but it consists of honey mostly)
Bananas, seriously.
I avoid gels whenever I can. For some races you might need them but try to run without them whenever possible.

Honey stinger makes some that are just honey. Works ok for me.
