Gels
I made the Coconut Carob Gel from The Thrive Diet - I had trouble getting out of the gel flask does anyone know if or what you can cut it with to make it thinnner? Is there any gel that is less sweet than the other?
Help I don't want to resort to the store stuff.

Hi Brenda.
I find all the gels too sweet for my liking but in the midst of activity everything seems sweeter than usual. Right or wrong I have cut mine with a more lemon juice and a tiny bit of water how much of each I'm not certain, I just do it by feel. Hope that helps.

I have made this and looove it!! I use a little coconut water to get it to flask consistancy - or you could use a little more lemon juice or a little water just so it's fluid. I have used this for many long endurances races, and am so happy to not suffer the gut-wrench I sometimes get with the packaged stuff - it keeps me ticking!

I've had the same problem. I can't remember if that one had agave nectar in it or not, but the ones with more agave seem to come out a lot better. I also tend to add a bit of water to help thin it out. That has worked for me in the past. I still don't quite get all of it out of the flask. I'm thinking of trying a different brand of flask to see if that helps.
