Spring Energy Blueberry Endurance Meal (Vegan) 310 Kcal

Spring Energy Blueberry Endurance Meal (Vegan) is a vegan, real-food endurance meal in a pouch, made with oats, blueberries and maple syrup for pre-race breakfasts and long ultra days. Picture blueberry oatmeal with a swirl of cashew butter, smooth enough to eat on the move when you're done with sweet gels.

It's for ultrarunners, hikers and long-haul cyclists, the stretch of the day where, as Spring puts it, a gel isn't enough and solid food is too much. Oats, blueberries, maple syrup, cashew butter, açaí and avocado oil give it a smooth, spoonable feel and a proper meal vibe. The mix of carbs and fats suits steady, lower-intensity pacing, so pair it with a gel when the effort picks up.

Spring recommends one 30–45 minutes before the start, or one every one to two hours from hour two of a long effort. Want a vegetarian version with tropical flavour? Try Oat Pineapple (Wolf Pack). Compared with that one, Blueberry is the better fit for mid-effort fuelling, while Wolf Pack leans toward pre-race breakfast.
