Trail Tested | PNG Refuel Gel

Price: $36 24 pack

Pinnacle Nutrition Group is a new player in the sports nutrition market, but the brand’s mantra is a lot different than the rest. Everything that PNG produces is vegan, and gluten and caffeine free, from its bottled Hydration Redefined drinks and Hydration Redefined powder sticks, to its Refuel Gels. That said, everything they make is perfectly suitable for kids.

PNG’s Refuel Gel is developed for pre, during, or post activity and is packed with electrolytes and carbohydrates in a liquid form that is easy to ingest. In contrast to other energy gels we’ve used; the PNG Refuel is not quite as thick and sticky, which makes it easier to swallow, especially while riding a bicycle. Thanks to its thinner consistency, it’s easy to get all of the gel out of the packaging and you don’t have to work it out like the last bit of toothpaste in a tube.

Best of all, the PNG Refuel has a very pleasant taste that isn’t too sweet. Available in lemon meringue or orange cream, both flavors go down nicely without making you thirsty for a gulp of water to chase it down with. Our favorite, by far, is the orange cream flavor.

We’ve relied on PNG Refuel Gel for a quick source of energy before race motos and a post-race recovery pick-me-up, but most of all, we use them while training for moto. Just today, we began to suffer major hamstring cramps as we crested the top of Mt. Baldy on a road climb, but a few gulps of water and a PNG Refuel Gel nipped it in the bud and allowed us to continue our ride.

PNG Refuel Gel is, by far, our favorite of any we’ve used! Try it, we promise you won’t be disappointed.
