Homemade Vegan Endurance Gel Recipe
As we build towards summer marathons, trail ultras, bike races, and hiking season, many of us turn to endurance gels to fuel our training sessions and events.
The only problem? They’re expensive!
Even when buying in bulk, each 100-calorie gel will typically cost about $1.50 to $2.00. And since endurance athletes will want to take in at least 200 calories per hour, those long runs, rides, or hikes can really start to burn a hole in your pocket.
My solution? Make your own at home! In this post, I’m sharing a recipe for homemade vegan endurance gel that’s unbelievably simple and convenient. It’s vegan too.
