Homemade energy gel? Paging sports nutritionsts!
|
Have people had good results with homemade energy gel? Is anything wrong or right with a 50/50 paste of peanut butter and honey? |

Don't forget crushed sesame seeds or other nuts with that honey/ peanut butter mix. Or a home made pemmecin meat and protein mix of stuff. |

I love almond butter every now and then on my backpacking trips-(usually buy Justin's Maple almond butter packs) but making my own, and mixing in a bit of sesame seeds, and/or other crunchies sounds delicious. : ) |

I recently started running long distance and have been using brown rice syrup (BRS) or BRS cut with a little powdered Gatorade to add some electrolytes on my long runs instead of buying the commercial sports gel. BRS is a complex carb so the "kick" lasts a bit longer than simple sugars. Think the addition of Gatorade helps but the taste and texture take a little getting used to. |

Good for flavor too. |

Back when I was racing bicycles we had a team doctor who would mix up various concoctions for us even though we had a nutrition sponsor. At stage races he'd be batching stuff in the hotel room, making a hell of a mess in the process. I get way better results with the following than anything on the market: |
