Highly recommended!

These gels were easily digestible and left me with no cramps or bloating. As someone that suffers from Crohn’s this is really important. The minty flavour makes a massive difference during my runs as it provides a burst of freshness.

So I was walking around this place without understanding where it was located despite using Google. I love KMCs so was eager to get some for my hiking trips. Till I was greeted by a lovely man who worked there and turned out - I was just in front of it all this time!
What a nice person he was - explained all products they had in store, even recommend something to suit my needs, he was very friendly and cheerful. I definitely did not leave empty handed and when I'm visiting Kendal again - I'd pop in back for sure ☺️👍

Really loved it!

They are easy to consume, open easily on the go and taste ok. The mint is not overpowering and doesn't leave an after taste. The gels themselves are definitely as good if not better than anything else on the market. After a near 700 mile round trip from Cork to Belfast ( Pure Running), I was eager to try them out on a Sunday Long Run with work in it and a 6 x 1lk reps session later that week. Taking one an hour before and during the Sunday session, I didn't feel knackered or drained at the end of the Sunday run or the 1k repeats session. Look forward to finding a more local supplier or working out how to buy them online without incurring import duties.

Thank you so much for your glowing 5-star review, Enda! 🌟 We're delighted to hear that our gels fueled your long runs and reps sessions without any hassle. We're working on expanding our availability to make buying easier, so you can keep enjoying them without those pesky import duties. If you need any assistance in the meantime, feel free to reach out—we're here to help! 😊🏃‍♂️✨

Best gels for sensitive stomachs

I bought the selection pack of gels to try during my half marathon training as I was struggling to find any gels that didn’t give me an upset stomach. These are perfect, the flavours are lovely - not too sweet and the mint is really refreshing. The new higher carb gel is perfect just wish they did it in more flavours. My only complaint is how hard they are to open when running - used at Bournemouth Half today and took me 10 minutes to try and open with my teeth as I couldn’t rip it. Other than that the perfect gel!

Hi Amelia! 😊 Thanks a bunch for the 4-star review and for choosing us for your marathon training! We're thrilled you love the flavors and find our gels tummy-friendly. Sorry about the tough-to-open packs—your feedback is super valuable, and we’re working on it. Our tip is to pinch under the tear seam, grab the top, and pull diagonally.

Stay minty and best of luck with your training! 🏃‍♀️

Great taste… not easy to open

Great taste. Easy to digest. Gut friendly BUT… the ‘Easy tear’ opening isn’t easy to tear! For 6 out of 8 gels that I have used… they haven’t torn across properly so I have had to use my teeth to tear them. Ok in training… not in a race

Hi Emma! 😊 Thanks a ton for the 4-star review. We're thrilled you love the taste and how gut-friendly our gels are! Sorry to hear about the tricky 'Easy tear' opening—appreciate the feedback, and we’re definitely working on making them easier to use. Our top tip for opening is: Pinch under the tear seam, grab the top, and pull diagonally. If you have any other thoughts, we're all ears!

Stay minty!

Love the gels

I'm usually quite fussy with gels, electrolytes and drinks. Most make me gag but these are great.
The only reason it's not a 5* is because since they've updated the packaging these gels are now alot harder to open. Please go back to the old packaging! The new plastic is too difficult to rip with sweating hands

Hi Katie! 😊 Thanks a bunch for the 4-star review! We're thrilled you're loving the taste of our gels.

Decent gel, terrible packaging

The high carb gels are very good. Taste decent and give a good lift on runs. Absolutely pointless though, as the sachets are almost entirely impossible to open.

Breath of fresh air customer service!

I am giving a 5 STAR to Kendal Mint Co's excellent, friendly customer service. Julie picked up my query very soon after my email and was in constant touch, sorting out my problem and pre-empting future issues regarding my email...and also to Jack who picked up a further query after Julie had clocked off for the day. So good to see in this day and age. And while I'm here the Raspberry and Mint gel is also worth a 5 star : refreshing ! Thank you.

Thank you so much for your fantastic 5-star review, N! 🌟 We're so pleased to hear that Julie and Jack were able to assist you promptly and effectively. It's heartwarming to know our Raspberry and Mint gel also hit the mark—refreshing, indeed! If you ever need anything else, just reach out—we've got your back! 😊

Great taste and a PB

I’ve was refereed these by a good fast running friend of mine.
During my build up to the GNR in used the supercharged caffeine in my long runs. They tasted great and are easy to digest. On the day of rhe GNR they were great and helped me get a PB. I’m now training for the Blackpool marathon and won’t be using anything else. Thank you

The crystallisation is quite delightful and the chocolate hardly makes its presence felt. Well done. Thin chocolate covering the kendal mint cake with all the rich mint aroma you would expect. Soft melts in the mouth releasing all the classic mint flavour that is well balance with the well judged thin but tasty chocolate - a very enjoyable well made tasty sweet treat - ideal for walking the hills."

Natural NRG Superfood Bars: "these bars are almost indescribably delicious and packed with ALL the good things - ther are Oats, honey, goji berries, bits of chocolate, seeds... What's more, they are BIG - at 70g, they're about a third bigger than most other cereal/protein bars, and every little bit is ludicrously tasty. With all that taste, and packed full of natural ingredients, they are perfect for trail runs, hikes and bike rides, and also for pre- and pos-run fuelling, as they have 40g Carbs in there. Yes, they have some calories, but i'm not going to tell you how many because every single one of them is valid. Delicious."

Natural NRG Superfood Bar "This well-presented bar has clear ingredients that pleasingly had not been overworked. We enjoyed the chew and mouthfeel, the balance of flavours, contrast of texture and well-judged level of sweetness. A satisfying, lingering mouthful! A well-composed little cereal bar with a wide range of fruit, seed and grain flavours and a great balance of sweetness, acidity, and nuttiness. Almost creamy on the palate despite the pleasing variety of textures. It holds together well, too, yet is not overly syrupy. Clean finish, and undoubtedly moreish. A well achieved energy bar, something of a rarity."

The Best Running Gels And How To Use Them In Your Training

Comfortable on the stomach, good range of flavours, and competitively priced

"Overall, I was really impressed with these gels, particularly having had bad experiences with others. I found that they gave me a good boost, were kind on my stomach, easy to use, and opened the airways too. The flavours are bold, though the straight mint flavour in particular may be a bit much for some."

I wouldn’t hesitate to buy some more of the KMC products, the big choice however would be which ones to buy!!

"I really enjoyed trialling these products. My favourite was the chocolate mint recovery power which I found to be very effective and delicious. I would use the chocolate mint gels again – I cant say I tasted the chocolate, but I loved the fresh mouth feeling. The electrolyte drink was nice – but there is a lot of competition in this market and I am not sure that the product has a unique Kendal Mint Cake selling / taste point.

In terms of the bars – I would potentially purchase again. However, I am not sure of the difference between the original bars and the sports version – so for me it would be a question of price. In the past I would not have considered using Kendal Mint Cake for race day fuel / nutrition but I would consider it now. Of the samples I tried they all tasted really good and the added mint made for a really nice and refreshing aftertaste that is like no gel I’ve had before. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy some more of the KMC products, the big choice however would be which ones to buy!!​ One other aspect of the gels I found good was opening them up. I didn’t have any issues and no real effort was required to open, which should bode well for opening on the move. If you haven’t tried KMC before then I would recommend you give them a try. The added mint in their products was a really welcome addition for me and I will be buying some more in the future."

Like an After Eight mint on sugary steroids

“It’s hard to tell the difference between this and a conventional Kendal Mint Cake if I’m honest – which is good as I like the original, in small doses. As you’d expect, it’s like an After Eight mint on sugary steroids. You get the punch of mint followed by a burst of sugar that’s tempered somewhat by the bitterness of the dark chocolate."
