Frequently asked questions

How many Awesome Sauce do I need for a marathon?

Most 4–5 hour marathoners do well on about 2 per hour: 8–10 gels. The 10-pack covers race day plus a spare.

Is Awesome Sauce vegan and gluten free?

Yes, it is vegan. Gluten free but not third-party certified.

Do I need water with it?

No. Spring gels are real-food consistency, not concentrated syrup, so they go down without water. A sip helps on hot days.

How is Spring different from a normal gel?

Whole-food carbs (rice, fruit, maple or honey) instead of maltodextrin, balanced fats for steadier energy, and independent lab results published for every product.

Not bad, not great

Awesome sauce has great flavor and I don't mind the apple sauce graininess but it has a thick syrupy consistency. Would use again but not my first choice.

Apple Pie In a Pouch

My first bite I was not so sure bc solid pieces came out... after giving the full packet a try it really is a delicious combination of fuel resembling apple pie filling.

Taste so good!

It's just like apple sauce and makes me look forward to taking it.

Love this.

Love the high carb count for long runs. The consistency is a tad thicker and grittier than applesauce, and so much better than a gel. Tastes like cinnamon and settles great in my gut.

Long Run Fuel

I have one 45 minutes into my long runs. They provide energy and they taste good.

Awesome

Love awesome source. It was my main source of calories on my 50 mile trail run.

Marathon training

Prefer the more natural food based Spring Energy to most of the gels. Don't have any GI issues with Spring when taking 6+ over the course of an event.

My favorite Energy Gels!!

From the first taste I was hooked! The taste is amazing and love that it's food based! I've already reordered multiple times! It's my go to and I now have teammates loving it after I've shared mine!

I love this stuff

This is my favorite 'gel' of all time — maybe tied with Canaberry. Spring never upsets my moody stomach. I love the texture and never get tired of the applesauce flavor.

Tastes like real Food

My favorite gel so far. Tastes like real food and I don't get fatigued by it.

The best

My absolute favorite snack before training runs and ultramarathons

Love Spring Energy! Cinnamon Apple Pie gel is amazing. Doesn’t hurt your stomach. Great for exercise!

Spring Energy is currently under scrutiny for claims on whether or not they are falsely claiming nutritional information in awesome sauce and some other gels.
Third party labs have returned results that say that these products have only about half of the calories and carbs that they claim they have.

Cleanest energy gel!

Hands down, BEST gel out there. Clean, easy, every awesome sauce is like a party in your mouth!! Been racing tri and trails for 2decades, awesome sauce is THE BEST nutritional item I have EVER discovered. We are completely hooked

I never received this product!

I loved the flavor and texture of this and it kept me fueled well b

Tasty and gut-friendly! I’ve discovered I’m allergic to citric and sorbic acids. This product has neither. Wahoo!

My go to fuel for the first half of my race/long run!

Great flavor and sustained energy

Love these!

My go to for fueling long runs the last several years. No GI issues with this stuff.

Good taste

I really wanted to Lille this product because I was happy to have finally found a vegan sports gel made from actual food. But unfortunately, their flavors gave me heartburn on my runs. I let it go the first few times thinking that it was just a fluke. But after it continued on each of my runs, I knew my body was not having a great reaction to it. I tried other gels made from real food (nut butters) to see if it was just me, but the other gels I tried were fine. Maybe you’ll have better luck with Spring Energy gels than I did.

Amazing product with great taste

This batch of awesome sauce was basically water. Have bought a lot of awesome sauce the last couple years and they were always much thicker with more substance. Extremely dissatisfied
