Turn Generation UCAN Powder into a Tasty Gel

Generation UCAN is great, there are no spikes, no ups and downs, no crashes. But, it's hard to carry and consume UCAN while you are running a race. It's not like you can stop, measure out some powder, some water and stir during a marathon; plus, drinking 8-12 ounces of water at one time while running isn't always the best option.

Luckily, you can enjoy all of the benefits of UCAN (with less water) while you are on the go! It's easy to turn your favorite UCAN powder into a convenient gel.

One of the easiest ways is to buy a gel flask or replacement water bottle and mix UCAN with water. For a 5 oz. gel flask, try 1.5 scoops of UCAN with 4 oz. of water. Stir really well. However, it is a matter of taste, some people prefer 1 packet of UCAN mixed with 3 oz. of water. You should play with the ratios, more or less powder and more or less water. To make mixing easy, try the Generation UCAN blending bottle.

Other options for gel flasks:

• Replacement water bottles such as these Fitletic bottles, Fuel Belt bottles, Nathan bottles or Generation UCAN bottles.


• Refillable baby food pouches


• Travel size squeeze bottles (the empty squeeze bottles people use to store lotion or shampoo, etc to take on airplanes)


• Snack size ziplock baggies


• Small plastic bags

Another great idea is to fill a plastic bag and refrigerate it overnight. No matter what you prefer, there is a tasty and easy way to turn your favorite flavor of Generation UCAN into a handy, easy-to-eat gel.
