Baouw organic energy purées are unique recipes that can be adapted to your every need. Baouw offers you practical and tasty alternatives, with no added sugar, both fruity and savoury, to eat during exercise or as a healthy snack.
Energy compotes like no other (or rather purées, as they have no added sugar)! Little gourmet gourds concentrated in packaging made from 85% plant-based ingredients (mainly sugar cane). Recipes devised by our two Michelin-starred chef, just like our organic energy bars. During exercise, these energy purées are an alternative to over-chemical products made mainly from glucose syrup. We've created the first natural energy compote! 100% healthy, certified organic, of course.
Why use organic energy compotes for sport?
Nos compotes sont sans sucres ajoutés. Ensuite, ce sont des compotes bio pensées, au départ, pour le sport*. Comment sont-elles nées ? Ce sont nos athlètes pratiquant l’ultra-endurance qui nous les ont réclamées, au départ. Xavier Thévenard three-time winner of the Ultra Trail du Mont-Blanc®, but also Ugo Ferrari, in trail running, or Julien Chorier for his Marathons des sables and other extraordinary adventures! After 10 hours of effort, it becomes complicated to eat. Chewing requires an effort within the effort. And applesauce, well... it just goes!
You've no doubt noticed our various organic compote recipes. These include the trail energy puree the recipe for our champion Xavier Thévenard's UTMB.
All sportspeople are entitled to their own energy purée!
For the same reason, cyclists have also been asking us for these sports energy compotes. The big advantage over a traditional gel is that you can reseal them and... stay clean! Not bad, isn't it, so you don't get it all over your body? And what's more, organic sports compotes are better than a gel full of maltodextrin and glucose syrup (which is why the energy gels designed by Baouw do not contain any!).
And when it comes to energy, what does the Baouw energy purée say?
Our sport-friendly vegetable compote (sweet potato, carrot) contains the energy equivalent of one of our bars: ideal when chewing becomes an ordeal! During a marathon, for example, or simply if you're in the process of resuming running gently, if you need to eat, you can turn to this energy compote. You'll also have the pleasure of alternating between solid and semi-solid foods (hiking, sailing, ultra trail, long cycle tours, etc.).
A sports energy compote, but for which sports?
Whatever flavour you choose, our little gourds of energy puree are designed for all sports where chewing is a bit difficult, either because the gesture makes it so... Or because the intensity makes it difficult to eat (in the intense phases of cycling, mountain biking, cross-country skiing, ski-mountaineering...). Or because you want something fresh, food that will also hydrate you, particularly if you're doing sport when it's hot. You can, of course, supplement your personal aid station with our electrolyte tablets, and then it's a guaranteed match made in heaven! Running, tennis, football: it doesn't matter what your favourite sport is! With these organic energy compotes designed for sportsmen and women, Baouw has thought of everything so that everything runs smoothly for you, whether you're training or competing. But the most important thing is to look after yourself, so go and play outside!

* Sport compote can also be used as a healthy snack: no added sugar. Our organic energy compotes have surprising tastes, but they also stand out for the hint of Kalamata olive oil that our two Michelin-starred chef has added to the recipe. In addition to its benefits, this oil gives each energy compote a taste and texture that will delight the taste buds, whether consumed during exercise or as a healthy daily snack. This fills the gap left by the overly sweet taste found in most gels used by sportspeople.
