Dried apricots ... salted almonds ... you'd get your electrolytes that way.

Why not just try a different brand of gel. That's what I did and zillions of others and found one that worked much better.

what brand of gels has no maltodextrin?

Go here.....Crank Sports, manufacturer of e-Gel Electrolyte Energy Gel and e-Fuel Electrolyte Hydration Drink and do a comparison for all of them. Looks like Huma gel has no malto.

Another consideration would be % of malto used as far as not being palatable.

Make your own. A bit of work but at least you'll control everything that goes into it. I use this recipe and prefer variation 1. Sometimes I substitute a small, ripe banana for the grapefruit juice.

Honey Stinger. I use the HS Ginsting. It's Honey with Ginseng extract and caffeine. There are several options available with or w/o ginseng, caffeine, etc. The Honey Stinger Waffles are awesome, as well.
