Anna-Marie on 33Fuel's chia energy gels
"The chia seed pouches pack a powerful punch. After a chance discovery during Marathon des Sables when my tent mate kindly donated a chia seed gel before the notorious long stage which was a complete life saver these have become an integral part of my nutrition strategy during ultra races. This new concept to the “gel" world is a universe away from classic sticky sugar-packed gels where the combination of four natural ingredients is refreshingly simple. My absolute favourite combination is to mix it up with a shot of coffee for that additional caffeine hit which injected an energy boost during the Lavaredo ultra recently"
Anna-Marie on 33Fuel's Elite Pre & Post Workout Shakes
"The elite pre & post workout shake is a veritable smorgasbord of natural ingredients crammed full of goodies to fuel the body. It’s a pure novelty opening the sachet to discover you can actually recognise the ingredients as opposed to a mound of sugary floury powder. I’m a big fan of mixing it up with milk straight up or blitzing it up with a banana & yogurt for thicker smoothie action"
