Gummies
Take 3-4 gummies every 30-45 minutes during runs over 60 minutes. Agar-agar sets firmer than gelatin, which makes these hold their shape better in a warm pocket. For a softer chew, use 1.5 tsp agar-agar instead of 2. You can swap apple juice for grape, pomegranate, or white grape juice if you want to mix it up.
You track your miles.
We'll handle the meals.
Pour the apple juice into a small saucepan. Add the honey, maple syrup, salt, and agar-agar powder. Whisk to combine.
Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, whisking frequently. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Agar-agar needs to boil to activate, unlike gelatin.
Pour the mixture into silicone gummy molds or a lightly greased 8x4 loaf pan.
Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour until fully set.
If using a loaf pan, pop the block out and cut into roughly 1-inch squares with a sharp knife.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Carry in a small ziplock bag on runs.
