Our Chia Energy Gel, like all 33Fuel products, follows our unique Plant-Based & Planet-Based® approach because plant-based and vegan formulas aren’t just better for performance and health, they’re also better for the planet than animal-based formulas.

Every Chia Energy Gel also:
• Has fully recyclable packaging with the exception of the caps (and we are working on these!)

• Has a flip-top cap - no more accidental tear-top littering

• Is uniquely supplied dry to avoid shipping unnecessary water & weight reducing emissions and also reducing pressure on water systems as no water is tied up in the gel's lifecycle. You simply hydrate them before use (once prepared they last 24 hours so you can do this well in advance)

• Is delivered packed in plain, recyclable delivery packaging

• Is available with free carbon neutral delivery

• Helps reforestation. A portion of all 33Fuel sales go to One Tree Planted to help fund their reforestation efforts around the world

Chia Energy Gel FAQs

✅ Your Non-UPF Energy Gel
✅ Stable energy, no spikes or crashes
✅ Gut-friendly – no bloating, cramping or mid-run emergencies
✅ High in omega-3s for heart health and recovery
✅ Natural electrolyte blend with Himalayan pink salt
✅ Zero ultra-processing (UPF), just real food your body recognises
✅ Customisable taste – make it your own

Each gel is shipped dry to save emissions and avoid unnecessary water weight. To prep:

1. Blow into the pack to inflate it
2. Add water (or juice, or coffee…) until full
3. Seal, shake and leave for 10 minutes
4. That’s it – the chia forms a gel naturally.

Once prepared your gel lasts 24 hours, so prepare in advance of your race or session, then use just like any other gel.

Take a look at the 'How to use' section of this page for more information.

Great question – and great news for the planet. Dry shipping:

✅ Lets you customise your gel
✅ Cuts emissions by reducing water weight
✅ Lowers pressure on water systems
✅ Increases shelf life without artificial preservatives
✅ Less waste, more impact – a perfect fit for our Plant-Based & Planet-Based® Fuelosophy®.

Consume one Chia Energy Gel every 45–60 minutes during sport.

It’s ideal for runs, rides, races and gym sessions – or any time you want clean, natural energy on the go.

Great question – and here’s the short answer: our Chia Energy Gels prioritise nutrient density over empty calories.

Each gel delivers 100 nutrient packed calories with 11g of natural carbs, plus heart-healthy omega-3s, a little protein from quality ingredients. And no UPF anywhere.

Most gels cram in 20–25g of empty-calorie UPF carbs like maltodextrin. This means short-term energy spikes, followed by energy crashes and gut trouble.

Ours are different – made with quality real food for stable energy, better digestion and long-lasting performance.

Thousands of athletes around the world have made the switch – including a sub-3-hour marathoner who went from 3 gels per hour to just two of ours over the entire race, with no performance loss and far better gut health.

It’s a leap to try these for the first time but we promise its one you won’t regret.

Yes – and it’s one of our favourite features because depending on what liquid you add to the gel you can adapt the flavour to suit your needs

✅ Water = a light vanilla taste
✅ Juice = a fruity boost with more carbs
✅ Coconut water = new taste and added electrolytes
✅ Coffee = the ultimate DIY caffeine gel

You’re in control. One gel is now every gel you ever wanted!

Just four natural real food ingredients and that's it:

• Chia seeds
• Organic coconut sugar
• Pure vanilla
• Himalayan pink salt

No artificial anything. No emulsifiers. No unpronounceable chemicals. No UPFs.

Yes. 100%. The Chia Energy Gel is:

✅ Vegan
✅ Gluten-free
✅ Dairy-free
✅ Soy-free
✅ Made entirely from real food with zero UPF

Yes – and this is a major difference. Most energy gels are ultra-processed (UPF) gut bombs that should come with a health warning.

Ours are real food, so are safe to use daily without trashing your digestion or health, in fact they'll benefit both

Our Chia Energy Gels delivers stable sustained energy without spikes or crashes.

Each gel is also high in heart-healthy Omega-3 fatty acids and includes a natural electrolyte blend with Himalayan pink salt to support hydration and performance and keep your muscles firing as fatigue sets in.

Once prepared, the gel lasts for 24 hours so prepare it in advance of your activity then carry with you and use like any other gel

Nope. These are famously gut-friendly.

Because we use only real food and zero artificial additives with no UPF, you avoid the cramps, bloating and toilet dashes common with ordinary gels

There is no comparison

• Ordinary gels = UPF gut bombs
• Chia Energy Gels = nutrient-dense, clean fuel

These don't just deliver performance – they add health benefits too. That’s the power of natural sports nutrition done right.

Yes, the gel comes in fully recyclable packaging with a flip-top cap so you don't have to have it all in one go and to prevent the accidental littering common to rip top gels, aligning with our commitment to a Fitter Future (all part of our Fuelosophy, which you can read about here: https://www.33fuel.com/pages/the-33fuel-fuelosophy

Unlike UPF gels that spike and crash, our Chia Energy Gels provide smooth, sustained release.

You’ll feel strong for longer – and recover better after.

Absolutely. From sub-3 marathoners to Olympic athletes, elite ultramarathon runners and 1000s of weekend warriors worldwide, our gels are trusted by those who think long-term.

Read the reviews – you’ll find dozens of real-world results and success stories.

Yes, and many do. But we recommend starting with one every 45–60 minutes and adjusting based on your training load and personal needs.

Because they’re easy on the stomach, it’s safe to experiment and find your sweet spot.

Customizable alternative to Maurten

Like: can mix with coffee or any other drink, not sweet, feels less artificial
Don't like: can't keep already prepared left overs, feels like a lot of plastic (esp cap), cap of little benefit because of the small amount per gel, cap make it hard to really get every last bit out, extra costs for people outside of UK (had to pay €20 customs fee for €85 order) making it more expensive than 'the golden standard' Maurten for me

Hi Douwe,

Thanks for your review of our Chia Energy Gels - I'm pleased to hear you enjoy the taste and natural ingredients. Appreciate your input on Shipping costs, it's something we're working hard to manage to ensure our International customers are able to get the best value for money.

Kind regards,

My go to gel for long hikes

I love the Chia Gels. They are great on my stomach and give me the boost I need on long hikes and walks. I have used them now for over 8 years and wouldn’t use anything else.

Hello Hilary,

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review - I really appreciate it. You're right: for long hikes, bike rides and walks, Chia Energy Gels are perfect for their slow-release, low-GI carbs.

Kind regards,

James
