    Who it's for
    Endurance athletes who want a pre-measured, travel-friendly fueling option for races or long efforts. Also noted as useful for people managing blood sugar who need steady, moderate carb intake without spikes.
    What people are saying
    Hosts consistently praise the taste across flavors, with mango called out specifically. The 60g carbs and 500mg sodium per sachet is described as sufficient but not excessive — one host notes it's easy to stack with a gel or salt capsule for higher targets.
    Worth noting
    The sachet format is flagged as ideal for trying the product before committing to bulk bags. Pre-measured single-serve packaging is the main practical draw over the bulk option.

    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!
