Power your next move with energy gels and chews
When you’re in the middle of a long ride, a steep climb or just trying to get through your last few kilometres, a little boost can go a long way. That’s where energy gels and chews come in. These compact, portable snacks are packed with fast-digesting carbohydrates to help fuel your muscles and keep you moving when your energy starts to dip. Whether you're a runner, hiker or cyclist, these small but mighty options can make a big difference in how you feel during longer efforts. MEC carries these boosts of tasty energy from favourite brands like GU, Honey Stinger, Xact and more.
Quick energy from gels
Energy gels are a go-to for athletes who want a quick, concentrated dose of carbs on the move. These small pouches are designed to be consumed in one squeeze, delivering a blend of sugars that are easy to absorb and give you lasting energy without weighing you down. Many gels are formulated with added electrolytes to help keep you hydrated, and some include amino acids to reduce fatigue and support muscle recovery. They're easy to stash in a running belt or jersey pocket and come in a wide range of flavours—from chocolate and cola to lemonade and berry.
Easy chews while on the go
Not a fan of the gel texture? No problem. Energy chews are a great alternative. These gummy-style snacks give you the same kind of quick fuel, but in a format you can savour over a few bites. Some are made with caffeine for an extra kick, while others keep it simple with just carbs and electrolytes. You can eat a few at a time or space them out depending on your activity. Chews are easy to eat during a hike, bike ride or even a mid-afternoon energy slump.
Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between energy gels and chews?
Energy gels are thick, syrupy blends of fast-digesting carbs that you squeeze right into your mouth, kind of like a single-shot energy boost. Chews are more like gummy candy—soft, chewable bites that offer the same kind of energy but in a different texture. Both do the same job, so it’s just a matter of personal preference.
When should I take energy gels or chews?
Most people take them during longer workouts or outdoor activities—typically anything over 45 to 60 minutes. You can take one before you start to top off your energy, and then every 30 to 45 minutes after that, depending on your intensity and how your body feels. Just be sure to drink water along with them to help with digestion.
Do energy gels or chews have caffeine?
Some do, some don’t. If you like a little caffeine for an extra mental or physical boost, look for flavours that mention it on the label. If you’d rather skip the jitters, there are plenty of caffeine-free options, too.
Are energy gels or chews only for running?
Not at all. Runners love them for convenience, but they’re also great for cycling, hiking, ski touring or any endurance-based activity. Basically, if you’re burning calories over a long stretch of time, these help keep your energy levels up.
