Medjool Date & Sea Salt Chews

A two-ingredient pocket fuel made from whole Medjool dates and flaky sea salt. Each pair of chews delivers around 36g of fast-acting natural sugars - right in the 30-45g per hour fueling window for runs over 60 minutes. No gels, no ingredient lists you can't pronounce, no single-use plastic. Make a batch on Saturday and you're fueled for the whole training week.

Each serving of 2 chews delivers ~18g of fast-acting carbs from natural sugars, right in the fueling window for runs over 60 minutes. The sea salt helps maintain sodium levels and delays fatigue.

Instructions

1

Remove pits from dates. If they feel dry, soak in warm water for 5 minutes and pat dry.

2

Pinch a small amount of flaky sea salt into the cavity of each date where the pit was.

3

Press the date closed and roll firmly between your palms into a compact chew. Add a drop of coconut oil if the dates are sticking to your hands.

4

Finish with a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top of each chew.

5

Wrap individually in small pieces of parchment paper or beeswax wrap for easy pocket access during your run. Store in the fridge up to 2 weeks.
