A powdered gel base that lets you mix exactly the carbs you need, in the quantity you need, without single-use sachets.
What it is
Gel Mix is endurance fuel as a powder. Mix it with water to make a thin, smooth gel that goes down easily during exercise. Each 33g serving delivers 30g of carbohydrate at a 2:1 glucose-to-fructose ratio for fast uptake and lower gut load. The flavour is neutral, so you can keep it plain or add a tablespoon or two of Drink Mix to dial it in. 15 servings per 500g bag.
When to use it
- Long runs and rides where you'd otherwise carry a fistful of gel sachets
- Race day fuelling at 60 to 90g of carbs per hour
- Training sessions where you want a known carb dose without the wrapper waste
- Hot, humid sessions where you want fuel and fluid in one vessel
How to use it
One prepared serving is 3 tablespoons (33g) of powder mixed with 5 tablespoons (45ml) of water - a 1:1 powder-to-water ratio by volume. Mix it into a Gel Flask, a soft flask, or any squeezable bottle.
Smooth mix (recommended): Add boiling water to the powder in a heat-proof vessel, stir until dissolved, cool for 5 minutes, then pour into your flask.
Quick mix: Add the powder to a bottle with a small splash of cool water, shake hard to break the charge, then add the rest of the water and shake until smooth.
Fill guide: 180ml flask = 3 servings (99g powder). 250ml = 4.5 servings. 350ml = 6 servings. 500ml = 9 servings.
Storage: Refrigerate after mixing and use within 3 days. White flecks in freshly mixed gel are normal - mix the night before for the smoothest texture by morning.
Key features
- 2:1 glucose to fructose: Multi-transporter blend for higher absorption and lower GI distress at race-pace intake rates.
- 30g carbs, 200mg sodium per serving: Carbs and electrolytes in one mix - no separate water chaser needed.
- Neutral flavour: Use it plain, or add Drink Mix to flavour it your way.
- No sachets: Mix what you need. Less waste, less rummaging.
- Clean ingredients: Non-GMO, no artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives.
- 15 servings per 500g bag: Roughly 7 to 15 hours of race fuelling depending on intake rate.
A note on the scoop
There's no scoop in the bag - disposable plastic ones pile up, so we've left it out. Use standard kitchen tablespoon measures, or add the reusable Open Fuel Funnel Scoop to your order for one-step scooping and bottle filling.
Contains: No major allergens declared on the label.
May contain traces of: Wheat (gluten), tree nuts, peanuts, soya. Packed in a facility that also processes these ingredients.
