💡 Do The Maths.
Taster (68g) = £88/kg
5-Pack Taster = ~£59/kg
1kg Bulk = ~£42/kg
Same fuel.
Same shipping.
Very different cost.
- 1 pack = just to try it
- 2–5 packs = better value
- 1kg = where it actually makes sense
Even at the best taster deal, you're still paying ~25–30% more per kilo.
If you're fuelling every week, that adds up fast.
Try them… then go bulk.
👉 Upgrade to 1kg and fuel properly

New to FTP Endurance Fuel?
This Taster Pack allows you to try Energy Pastilles for Running and Cycling before committing to a full-size pack.
Each serving contains around 30g of carbohydrate — the same fuel as roughly one gel, in a chew you can eat at pace.
Many athletes start with a taster pack before upgrading to the full-size Energy Chews.
Why Athletes Choose Energy Pastilles
• 30g carbohydrates per 2 chew serving
• Easy to consume while moving
• No sticky gel wrappers
• Reusable pouch system
• Great taste, even during long efforts
• Designed by an endurance athlete
Built for real-world training and racing.
Fuelling Tips
For endurance exercise, athletes typically eat:
• 30–45g carbohydrates per hour for moderate efforts
• 60–90g carbohydrates per hour for longer or higher intensity sessions
Plenty of runners and riders start eating in the first half hour, then spread pastilles through the session rather than taking them all at once.
Energy Pastilles can be carried in your pocket, running vest, or bike storage. For easier access, many athletes use a reusable, waterproof FTP Adventure Pouch to carry multiple servings conveniently.
FTP Adventure Pouches are designed specifically for endurance fuelling and allow you to reload servings quickly without relying on individually wrapped products. Adventure Pouches are sold separately and are not included with Energy Pastilles.
Upgrade your fuelling setup
Pair your Energy Pastilles with an Adventure Pouch for easy access during runs and rides.

Questions
Before you order
Can't see your question? Message us and a real athlete on the team will answer.
What is in a taster pack?
A 68g pack of FTP Energy Pastilles, about 2 servings and 60g of carbohydrate in total. It is the cheapest way to test the flavour and how they sit in your stomach before buying a 1kg pouch.
Is it better value to buy the 1kg pouch?
Yes. A single taster works out at about £88 per kg, a 5-pack about £59 per kg, and the 1kg pouch about £43 per kg. Try a taster first, then go bulk.
How many pastilles should I eat per hour?
Two pastilles give about 30g of carbohydrate from a 1:1 glucose and fructose blend. Most runners and cyclists take 2 to 4 an hour, or add a bottle of Power Fluids to reach 60–90g an hour on long or race-pace sessions.
Are they vegan and gluten free?
Yes, they are vegan and dairy free. They contain a gluten-free grade wheat starch, with gluten below 20ppm, and are packed in a facility that handles cereals and peanuts. They are made for adult endurance athletes and are not recommended for children.
How fast is delivery?
We usually dispatch the same day if you order by 8pm UK time. UK mainland delivery is free on orders over £30, and most orders arrive 2 to 3 working days after dispatch.

Choose flavourCustomers praised these convenient, wrapper-free energy chews for marathon and cycling training. Described as "like eating Turkish Delight," they're easy to consume on the go. Most loved the balanced tart flavor, though one customer found them too sweet. The paper-free design and optional pouch make them practical for athletes.

Honestly tried the starter pack the pastilles are a great alternative to gels and the cherry tart carb drink is unbelievably tasty.
I got a new PB 10k when using these products for the first time, coincidence? Maybe or maybe they are as good as they taste.
My new go to for sure
I
I have always shied away from products that require to be chewed whilst running. I am glad that I took a chance on this product. Very easy to chew on the move. Delicious taste too!
C
I don’t do gels. These are the perfect alternative. Kind on my stomach, easy to put in your pocket and taste delicious.
D
On a multi-day running adventure in the dolomites. These were the perfect energy pastilles, easy to eat and get down on the move. The daily pouch getting refilled from the larger pack was perfect.
J
First time using and thumbs up so far.
D
These tart cherry energy pastilles are fab, not too tart but just right and great to have whilst out cycling!
I’d been looking for a paper free energy product for a while and have tried different types of gummies but never found one that I liked, until now!!
I love the FTP pastilles so much I took out a subscription for the larger 1kg bag mixed fruit flavour, going forward I think I’ll definitely be adding the tart cherry as well.
Great product, and concept and very easy to eat on the go. I also bought the very handy zipped pouch which makes them very easy to carry and get at.
Thanks
A
These are very tasty, the tart cherry flavour masks the sweetness quite well. A bit like the texture of Turkish delight. A easy way to get carbs in without having to carry lots of bulky foods.
K
First time using them. Found them easy to digest while running fantastic product would highly recommend FTP.
D
Really delighted with my starter pack. Smashed through my pastilles on a recent, very tough mountain bike Audax. I particularly enjoyed the green ones. The carb/salts mix works as advertised. No bonk and tasted lush.
l
Taste and consistency is really nice . Used these to fuel my training and ultra. Love that there is less plastic waste and no food wastage as you just pop in what you need out of the bag. Easy to digest and easy on stomach. Look forward to using through my next training block
J
A real game changer for Ultra runs. Easy to chew and swallow on the move and easy on the stomach.
D
Just used them for Unbound and worked Awesome!
Highly Recommended.
I will use them for Leadville 100 MTB Camp and Race this year.
A
Never thought i would be ok eating whilst running but these are great.consistency of turkish delight. not sticky or claggy. tasty too.
G
As a new cyclist I found FTP to be ideal. It helps me managed my in ride nutrition in a predictable and measured way - without stopping to open jells or bars. Just competed 490km from London to Amsterdam on just FTP and the occasional coffee & cake stop. Very happy!
D
This is my New, Go to, Nutrition on the Bike!
D
Amazing, now i have a big bag more fueled adventures incoming
S
Very easy to carry and consume. Tried them out on a training run and realised I needed a drink to wash my mouth out once consumed - not because I disliked the taste/feel but the outer sugar coating is quite sweet to my taste. I then used the remaining gels on the Nant yr Arian Silver Trail 1/2 - kept me going throughout especially ahead of long climbs. No stomach issues etc and will look to get some more for similar events and mountain biking.
P
I liked the taste and they are easy to eat while on the bike. I'll definitely be buying more.
D
Bloody awesome , great for my coastal trail runs , super tasty , not too jelly that theres too much chewing. Should have brought s bigger pack 🤦♀️
L
I love these. They taste great and are a thoroughly pleasant change from gels which make me gag when I I’m feeling queasy. I will definitely be buying more and my friend has just ordered some.
M
I LOVE these! They taste amazing, nice texture,don't take ages to chew, and dont irritate my stomach.
They taste that good actually find myself considering one as a snack during the day 😬😅
H
Used these for the first time at the weekend on a five hour long run, no GI issues and no fuzzy teeth! Very impressed and really like the commitment to reduced waste with the little bags to store them in while out.
