    Spencer Imbach, Trail Runner & Snowboarder

    All of the flavors are the best tasting drink mix I've had. Stoked to implement this as my go-to fueling option. It's sufficient with 60g carbs and 500mg sodium without being too intense - easy enough to supplement with an extra gel or salt capsule or two if you're aiming for higher numbers.

    Tastiest drink mix in the game. I opt for the bulk bags, but the sachets are perfect for anyone looking to give Open Fuel a try.

    As someone who has historically under-fueled, Open Fuel has been a game changer in my longer races for dialing in the right nutrition plan and hitting the ideal carb per hour ratio.

    These are easy to travel with and great for my blood sugar as they aren't super high carb but enough to sip on and keep my blood sugars up without major spikes or crashes!
