Whether I’m fueling for a marathon or fueling to make a baby, energy gels have become a staple in my everyday life.

I have spent hundreds of dollars trying to figure out some of the best ones out there so you don’t have to.

LMK if I missed any that YOU love!

*a glucose to fructose ratio of 2:1 or 1:0.8 has been designed to maximize carbohydrate absorption while reducing gut distress

EDIT: ENERVIT is produced in Italy 🇮🇹 NOT the Netherlands 🤦‍♀️ (and definitely not in Nederland, CO)
