Homemade energy gels

[Pickingmyselfup]

I'm interested in making some and I know some of you already do so could anybody send me some recipes please?

Do you find them as good as the shop ones? At the minute I use a mixture of high 5 ones and the SIS beta fuel ones for race days for higher carbs. I think race day I'll likely stay on the SIS ones since they carry more carbs per serving but for training if I can make something with about 20g carbs per serving that would be great.

Most of them contain caffeine, lots of it.

The beta ones don't and neither do some of the high 5 ones. I do have some with caffeine in them but they are horrible so I'm not buying them again.

Oh wow. Following as no idea this was possible!

One of the best runners I know carries blocks of undisolved jelly and McDonalds salt sachets.

Let us know how you get on, OP, what recipe you try & how successful.

I can't imagine trying to chew a jelly block mid run! I've started taking mini cheddars on mine to alternate with gels since I need something savoury.

I googled homemade gels and I've found a recipe I'm going to try but when I put the ingredients into MFP it only contains 16g carbs but it's worth trying and maybe I can modify.

Just the same as those ££££ Bloks chews? Or jelly babies.

As Greeksauce says, Jelly babies.
