Hi,

Real food is having a moment, and it's not hard to see why. After the fortieth gel of a training block, flavor fatigue is real. Here are some top-tier picks if you want to dip your blistered toes into the warm waters of real-food fueling.

Real Food Gels

HNY+ Energy Honey Gel uses 100% organic honey, delivering 18g of carbs plus sea salt, magnesium, and potassium in a form the body already recognizes.

Datefix is blended California Medjool dates and a touch of orange blossom water. That’s it. Naturally high in potassium and magnesium, with a low glycemic response that’s ideal for steady, sustained fuel.

The Feed Lab Maple Gel keeps it to three ingredients: Pure maple syrup, sea salt, and ginger. Clean energy.

BPN Apple Cinnamon blends apple juice and apple puree with brown rice syrup for 24g of carbs and 110mg of sodium. Easy on the stomach and not too sweet.
