Expedition Fuel — Endurance Nutrition from FUEL10K

-
FUEL10K
Correctly fuelling for an endurance expedition is one of the toughest logistical challenges you will face. Unsupported, you need to find lightweight nutritious meals and snacks to keep your body functioning at its best throughout your adventure.

The range of products from UK brand FUEL10K is one of the most innovative, natural, and nutritious collections of endurance nutrition products that I have tried to date; perfect for multi-day kayaking expeditions and bikepacking adventures.



FUEL10K Complete Meal

Leading the charge is the latest release from FUEL10K—'The Complete Meal'. When on endurance expeditions I try my best to eat fresh local produce; but there are times when that is simply not possible—due to the remoteness of your location or the inability to carry a heavy weight or quantity of produce. Freeze-dried meals are one choice, but recently I have been researching and considering the benefits of liquid meal replacements—FUEL10K's Complete Meal has risen to the top as the best that I have tried.

Each serving supplies 26 grams of protein, 8 grams of dietary fibre, and 100 percent of your NRV of vitamins and minerals. There is no added sugar, and the shake can be mixed with water or milk (dairy or alternatives).

A lot of powdered meal-replacement shakes taste (frankly) foul—with a gloopy texture and artificial additives. The FUEL10K Complete Meal is the best tasting meal-replacement shake that I have used, even when just made with water. It has a smooth and natural texture—flavoured with fruit extracts, and composed of natural ingredients such as flaxseed, oat flour, whey, and egg protein.

For convenience or as an emergency meal, the Complete Meal from FUEL10K offers a better tasting and more nutritionally sound choice than many freeze-dried expedition meals.

Portable Nut Power

Another product within the FUEL10K range that is perfect for endurance expeditions is their range of squeeze pouch peanut butters: featuring Super Seeded Peanut Butter, Chocolate Peanut Butter, and Smooth Peanut Butter.

Peanut butter is known for its high protein content and energy-boosting calories; perfect for fuelling and recovering on endurance challenges. It has long been one of my go-to fuel sources.

FUEL10K peanut butters are made with peanuts, coconut sugar, and a pinch of sea salt; as well as cocoa powder and chia seeds in those respective flavours. The portable and resealable pouches are the ideal lightweight solution to take with you on the go—a lot easier than a jar and a spoon.

High Protein Breakfasts

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day—and even more so when you are fuelling for a day of physical endurance. FUEL10K offer three easy options to set you up for the challenges that are ahead: Breakfast Drinks, High Protein Granola Pots, and High Protein Porridge Pots.

The Breakfast Drinks are high in protein, a source of fibre, vitamin-boosted, and have no added sugar. The Porridge Pots are made with British oats and milk protein; providing a fantastic compact breakfast, even when made with just boiling water. For those people that are not porridge fans (really?!) there are Granola Pots, which are perfect with yoghurt.

Simple and quick breakfasts like these will ensure that you are fuelled right before heading out into the wilderness.

Kit Focus – Merrell MQM 3 Mid Gore-Tex Hiking Boots

Fresh from the mountains of Sri Lanka, this is my review of the versatile and sure-footed Merrell MQM 3 Mid GORE-TEX hiking boots.  Merrell shoes have been a trustworthy walking partner of mine for several years now; with previous models reviewed here on The Expedition Journals including the MQM Flex 2.0 and ChopRock Aqua Shoes . The brand's footwear is comfortable, durable, and provides a reassuring foothold on a multitude of terrains. The Merrell MQM 3 Mid GORE-TEX boots were my choice of hiking shoes for a three week adventure to the island of Sri Lanka. With jungle treks, mountain hikes, and days spent wandering through markets and nature reserves, I wanted a pair of lightweight waterproof hiking boots that would be comfortable and reliable – the MQM 3 Mid boots delivered flawlessly. Waterproof hiking boots are the best option when choosing walking shoes for all conditions, in my opinion. Waterproof boots offer all-weather protection, and although slightly warmer than non...

Kit Focus – Rab Expedition 50L Kit Bag

Rab Equipment is one of my favourite outdoor brands on the market – they produce the legendary Microlight down jacket (see my recent review of the Rab Infinity Microlight Down Jacket ), as well as sleeping bags that I have used on some of my longest expeditions.  A new piece of Rab Equipment that has landed in my kit store though, is the Rab Expedition 50 Kit Bag – a rugged and hardwearing 50 litre duffel bag that is superbly made and ready for any adventure. The Rab Kitbag 50 is made using a tough and durable 600D fabric and is coated with a TPU water-resistant film. Triple-stitched seams and a double thickness base add further to the ruggedness of the kit bag.  The contents of the duffel bag are easily accessible through a large, double zippered (lockable) main opening. On the underside of the lid there are two internal zippered mesh pockets, as well as two pockets at either end of the bag's internal main compartment. For transporting the Rab Expedition Kit Bag, there are tw...

Kit Focus – Review 361º Strata 5 Running Shoes

-

I have been using 361 trainers for several years now, and they continue to impress me in their support, cushioning, speed, and longevity. My previous pair of 361 Strata 3 trainers lasted over 800 kilometres before being retired, and during that time they delivered a number of PBs. So, when the time came to replace them, the obvious choice was the new 361 Strata 5. Here is my review… The Strata 3 is a long-distance road running shoe. The soft upper mesh offers maximum breathability, while the new anatomically shaped tongue adapts to your foot to avoid pressure points. The lacing system has always been a highlight of 361 trainers for me; the Morphit system provides a secure and adaptable lacing system; which combined with the Ortholite insole offers impressive support against pronation. For long distance endurance running comfort, the 361 Strata 5 trainers use a Qu!kfoam midsole and a weight-optimised footbed made from Qu!kspring+ EVA foam – this combination creates a responsive r...
