The secret recipe
When formulating VALA I worked hard to ensure that all of the flavours were balanced, so that one ingredient didn't overpower the rest. If I had to sum up the taste of our gels in one sentence, it would be 'naturally sweet with a citrus twist'. If you're used to the more generic shop bought gels with a 'lemonade' flavour, our 'citrus' gels will definitely surprise you! The sweetness comes from a base of 100% pure Canadian maple syrup mixed with date paste and the citrus aftertaste comes from pure lemon and lime juice (none of that 'from concentrate' nonsense for us yuck).
As the majority of people have never tried a natural gel before, I think most are surprised by the texture. Rather than mixing together powdered chemicals and water into a runny goop, we blend then sieve our seven ingredients to create a smooth paste, which is why VALA has a slightly thicker texture than you might expect.
The result is a gel that actually feels like eating REAL food, which you guys have been loving! It's great to hear you all say that our gels taste delicious, feel a lot easier on the stomach than our chemical counterparts and that you prefer the energy provided by natural sugars. What more proof do we need that natural fuel is the future?
