Anyone have a recommendation for a soft flask for my preferred race day nutrition: fresh ground almond butter. It’s pretty viscous and gooey and won’t get through a bite-valve or traditional liquid valve. Something with a pop-top wide-bore lid would be ideal.

Haven’t used it myself, can’t comment how well it may work: [image] Gelflask 150 ml Maurten develops carbohydrate-rich sports fuel for endurance sports. Based on hydrogel technology and natural ingredients. Used by latest marathon winners. But agree with @win…

Sparked a thought for me of biscuit spread though!

I can’t really think of a reusable container for almond butter except maybe the reusable baby pouches.

170ml almost fits 3 never 2nd gels. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256803314471330.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.17.72aa1802HB7jWM&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa

I use the GU soft flask. I only use SIS or Neversecond in them cause they are much thinner. Even the GU gels are way too thick for them in my opinion. I would think almond butter would not work so well.

I’m not going to use almond butter, but does anyone have a recipe for a DIY gel? I love my DIY drink mix, but I’d like to do a gel mix in a container like this as something different than just a high carb drink

Hot water and sugar, 3:4 (you will get 57g of carbs in 100g of this mix), stir, pour into container. I use 250ml soft flask.

I put Gu in the 170’s 4 regular Gu, then one liquid to get the viscosity down.

Try the Flow Formulas mix. Mix with warm water shake and ready to go and taste great.
