GUT-FRIENDLY ENERGY GELS, MADE FROM REAL FOOD
The natural alternative to regular energy gels. 27g of carbs per gel, made from organic maple.
WHAT'S ACTUALLY IN AN ENERGY GEL?
Built for cheap mass manufacturing.
Still 27g of carbs per gel. Read the ingredients: there's almost nothing to read.
We spent years racing on energy gels that made us sick. So we made one with real food instead: maple. Each gel still delivers 27g of carbs in a natural 1:1 glucose-to-fructose ratio, with no maltodextrin, no preservatives, and nothing artificial.

"WE WERE TIRED OF SPORTS NUTRITION FILLED WITH ADDITIVES. SO WE MADE OUR OWN."
Dan raced triathlon professionally on gels that made him sick, until he switched to maple. He and Ella built Maple Movement on what he learned.
Read our storyHOW TO FUEL WITH THEM
Take one gel before or during exercise. For longer sessions, one to three gels per hour depending on intensity. The maths: at hard effort your body burns 60 to 90g of carbs an hour, and a gel is 27g. Works the same whether you run, ride, or train HYROX.
QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
How is this different from the maple at the supermarket?
We source high quality organic maple and pack it in sachets dosed at 27g of carbs, made to carry, tear and swallow mid-session. The salt flavours add sodium from Murray River salt, Sap Coffee adds 30mg of caffeine. It's fuel you can actually race with.
What about the sugar?
During exercise, carbs are the point: your working muscles burn them for energy, and if you run low you slow down. Maple's carbs come as a natural 1:1 mix of glucose and fructose.
Do they have sodium?
Three flavours do. Sap Lemon + Salt, Sap Coffee and Sap Salted Caramel each carry 100mg of sodium from Murray River salt. Sap Maple has no added salt.
What are the nutrition facts?
Every gel gives you 27g of carbs and about 460kJ (110 calories), and all four flavours are gluten free and vegan. Sap Lemon + Salt, Sap Coffee and Sap Salted Caramel each add 100mg of sodium from Murray River salt; Sap Coffee also has 30mg of caffeine. Sap Maple has no added salt and no caffeine. Sachets are 30 to 34mL depending on the flavour. The full nutrition panel is on each product page.
How long do they keep, and how should I store them?
Sealed sachets have a 24-month shelf life from production, and every box and sachet has the best-before date printed on it. Keep them at room temperature, out of direct sun: no fridge needed. They travel fine in a run belt, bike jersey or gym bag.
