Take your first gel 15-20 min into your run, then repeat every 30-45 min to maintain energy and delay fatigue. Chase with water, not a sports drink.

Instructions

1

Peel the ripe banana and break it into a few pieces.

2

Combine the honey, maple syrup, banana pieces, and salt in a blender or food processor.

3

Blend until completely smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time until it reaches a gel-like consistency that is easy to consume.

4

Pour the homemade energy gel into small, reusable gel pouches or airtight containers. Each serving should be approximately 2-3 tablespoons.
