in detail
Banana-Vanilla’ natural energy gel combines the natural sweetness of banana with the aromatic richness of Bourbon vanilla. Banana adds a creamy texture and a sweet taste, while vanilla adds an exotic note. Agave syrup and extra virgin olive oil balance the blend, providing long-lasting energy without blood sugar spikes.
natural performance
Designed for intense efforts to fill up on energy: the new Baouw natural energy gel combines performance, naturalness and pleasure.
Baouw energy gel is made from 100% organic ingredients. The high fruit content gives you a natural sugar with no glycaemic spike, which blends perfectly with the agave syrup. The glycaemic index is particularly low, at just 15. Olive oil provides you with a source of lipids that can be used directly during exercise and helps to smooth your blood sugar levels. The ingredients in Baouw energy gel are made up of fundamental vitamins and micronutrients, including calcium, magnesium, iron and potassium.
It's also very practical, thanks to its compact, easy-to-grip, resealable bottle, which means it can be taken several times. Non-sticky and free-flowing, it's easy to digest and will help you avoid the mushy mouthfeel of a traditional energy gel.
You can consume up to 2 per hour to reach 60g of carbohydrates. It performs better than a traditional energy gel
The opposite of ultra-processed gels
Conventional energy gels are mostly made from water and glucose syrup. Ultra-processed, they have a high glycaemic index and are not suitable for endurance sports.
With our alternative made from organic fruit and agave syrup, you can enjoy the same energy as a classic gel in the short term, while being healthy for your body. And that's without counting the taste of the fruit, unlike the flavourings used in other gels on the market, which often leave a chemical aftertaste.
2 in 1 use
This natural gel is also an innovation in terms of practicality. It can be taken pure as an energy gel or diluted in 500ml of water to make an energy drink. It's a great way to achieve the carbohydrate levels your body needs by alternating between an energy gel and an energy drink.

I can't wait to take them with me on my races this year!’ Thibaut Baronian won the French Trail Short Championships with our prototype natural gels!

FAQ
The main difference between your gels and your purées is the carbohydrate content. Your purées, with no added sugar, contain an average of 15g of carbohydrates, whereas your gels contain 30g thanks to the natural sugars in the fruit and the added agave syrup.
The texture of your purees is more satiating because they're a little thicker, and the recipes are either savoury or sweet, so they're better suited to medium-intensity, long-duration efforts. Your gels, which are more concentrated, provide a real boost, are better suited to intense efforts and can be consumed either pure or diluted in a 500ml flask.
For more information on this subject, see the article :
At Baouw we've decided to make energy gels rhyme with naturalness, and at the same time, performance and health. In other words, energy gels that provide an optimal carbohydrate intake (30g per gel), are easy to chew and light to carry, but contain no refined sugars or other additives. In other words, these are energy gels made exclusively from foods found in nature, prepared in our own kitchens without the need for laboratory tests.
Conventional gels, on the other hand, provide the body with large quantities of ultra-processed carbohydrates (such as glucose syrup), and are therefore unsuitable for endurance sports.

In your Baouw, you'll only find fruit, vegetables, oilseeds, plants, spices and extra virgin olive oil. All these foods are organic. You'll also notice that we don't use the term ingredients, but foods, because we prefer ‘real’ cooking. Sports performance is important to Baouw, but only if it goes hand in hand with health.
Your Baouw products don't have a use-by date, just a best-before date (from the day of production, which is the recommended best-before date) that can vary from 12 to 24 months from production. This means that you can eat them even after this date: they may just have lost a little taste or hardened a little.
Your products are preservative-free. Your recipes have been designed to contain antioxidant ingredients (extra virgin olive oil, fruit, spices, plants, etc.) and to be as unrefined as possible in order to preserve as much naturalness as possible while ensuring a long shelf life. Thanks in particular to their highly protective packaging.
Your Baouw are suitable for all sports in general, not just endurance sports. The composition of the recipes guarantees a continuous and healthy supply of energy, whatever the activity. The frequency of use, however, will depend on the type and intensity of the activity.
Your bars, purées and spreads can also be enjoyed as healthy snacks throughout the day.
