Best All-Natural Gels: Alternative Energy Gels for Runners

Most traditional energy gels are based on cheap – and not very healthy – ingredients including maltodextrin and artificial flavourings. And let's be honest, despite attempts to come up with a multitude of elaborate flavours to mask it, quite a lot of them taste far from brilliant. Thankfully there's a new trend on the rise with more and more new sports nutrition brands now offering real-food gels made from all-natural ingredients. Many are vegan, some are organic and they promise a much better bang-for-buck nutritional payload with flavours that's a far cry from the chemical gloop you get with some endurance energy gels. What's more there are some you even look forward to eating. Here I take a look at some of the best real-food gels and compare them to the popular brands like SiS and Gu.

It's a long one so here are some handy jump in points for anyone who wants to skip.
