    How to use your Chia Charge Sample Pack

    Three products. Three jobs. Simple fuelling you can actually follow.

    Your sample pack is designed to help you try different types of fuelling and recovery, so you can work out what suits you best.

    Inside, you’ve got:

    • Chia Chews – fast fuel for before or during activity
    • Mini Flapjacks – steady energy for longer days and longer sessions
    • Protein Bar – recovery support after training

    Start here

    • Try everything in training first, not on race day.
    • If you’re new to fuelling, start with half and see how you get on.
    • Sip water with fuelling, especially on harder sessions.
    • Everyone’s different — the aim is to find what works best for your stomach, pace and training.

    Quick guide: what to use when

    Chia Chews

    Best for: quick energy before or during activity

    Chia Chews are your fast-acting carbs when you need energy quickly. They’re ideal on the go and a great alternative if you don’t get on with sticky syrup gels.

    Good for:

    • Just before a session
    • Shorter or faster runs
    • 5k to 10k runs
    • Tempo sessions or interval training
    • The later stages of a half marathon, marathon or ultra

    Simple newbie tip: Try a few chews 10–15 minutes before a harder session, or use them later in a run when your energy starts to dip.

    Mini Flapjacks

    Best for: steady energy over longer periods

    Mini Flapjacks give you a great balance of slower and faster-burning carbs. They’re brilliant for keeping you going steadily all day, and especially useful in the early stages of longer efforts.

    Good for:

    • Long runs and long rides
    • Hikes and all-day adventures
    • The early stages of marathons, ultras and sportive-type events
    • Anyone who prefers a more “real food” style of fuelling

    Simple newbie tip: On longer sessions, try eating a mini flapjack early rather than waiting until you’re empty. Little and often usually works better than playing catch-up.

    Protein Bar

    Best for: recovery after training

    After training, your body needs two things: protein to help repair muscle, and carbs to help reload glycogen stores. That’s why our Protein Bars contain 20g of protein and an equal amount of carbs.

    This 1:1 protein-to-carb ratio makes them a practical recovery option after hard or long sessions.

    Good for:

    • After a hard training session
    • After long runs, rides or hikes
    • Busy days when you need proper recovery without overthinking it

    Simple newbie tip: Try one within an hour after training, especially if you’ve worked hard or you’re training again soon.

    Choose your session

    Doing a 5k, 10k, intervals or a harder training session?

    Use Chia Chews before or during for quick, easy carbs.

    Heading out for a longer run, ride or hike?

    Start with Mini Flapjacks for steady energy, then use Chia Chews later when you want something quicker.

    Finished training?

    Go for the Protein Bar to help recover and refuel.

    A few common questions

    Do I need to use all of these?
    No. The point of the sample pack is to help you find what suits you best.

    Can I mix them?
    Yes. A lot of people use flapjacks earlier, chews later, and a protein bar after training.

    What if I’m new to fuelling?
    Keep it simple. Start small, practise in training, and don’t leave it until you’re already running on empty.

    Final thought

    There’s no single perfect fuelling plan for everyone. The best approach is the one you’ll actually use, that sits well, and helps you keep enjoying your training. That’s exactly what this sample pack is for.
