Guava Energy Block: Natural Solid Gel (32 Pcs Box / Value Pack)
The solid gel made of real fruit. Guava carbohydrates your body recognises as food — so you can perform on the long ride without paying the price in your stomach.
Guava as the first ingredient
Not a relabelled gel: it’s concentrated guava pulp, not glucose syrup with flavouring.
Designed for the long ride
Low in fat and protein — carbohydrates arrive without the load of a heavy meal.
Clean in competition
Formulated without substances on the WADA 2026 list. Vegan and gluten-free, both with audited certification. Does not guarantee absence of cross-contamination — the athlete is responsible for what they consume.
Four hours in and you still want the next one. The texture doesn’t crystallise or stick to your teeth, and it doesn’t leave that syrupy aftertaste that saturates your palate before the bonk. In a sport built on suffering, food that still tastes good is what carries you to the finish.
I can eat several on a long ride and still enjoy them. Nothing like other brands I’d tried.
No xanthan gum. No maltodextrin. None of that ingredient list you feel at the worst possible moment. Low in fat and protein — carbohydrates arrive without your stomach quitting before your legs do.
I suffer from gastrointestinal issues and it has been great for me. Digests really well even at high intensity.
Carbohydrates contribute to the maintenance of performance during endurance exercise — here, from a fruit matrix, not loose sugar. You no longer have to choose between absorption speed and plugging that hunger gap mid-ride.
Fast energy like a gel, but it also fills that hunger gap like a bar. Without the heaviness.
The Vélez guava block is not invented in a lab — it is harvested. Denomination of Origin from Vélez and guava as the main ingredient. Any brand can print “natural” on a wrapper; no one can copy five centuries of tradition.
Like biting directly into ripe fruit. You notice it from the very first bite.
What those who train with Saborty say.
What the specialist press says
“The carbohydrate content of guava is almost the same as a standard gel: between 21 and 23 g per unit.”

Small portions that fit in a jersey pocket, with no complicated opening or hard-to-manage waste on the move.
A real fruit matrix — not just carbs: fibre, vitamin C and the compounds native to guava that simply don't exist in a processed gel.
Excerpts from the Mundo Deportivo editorial article on the guava snack as an alternative to gels. Press quote, not a brand claim.

Before you set off
Distribute 2–3 units in your jersey pockets. They fit without bulging and don’t get crushed like a soft bar.
Every 45–60 min
Take one unit to maintain a steady carbohydrate intake before you feel your legs fading.
When nothing else goes down
In the final stretch, when gels won’t go down anymore, this still does. Pair with water or Electrolitos Active+.

We know the question is fair: if fruit is first, what’s the rest? Here’s the full list, no half-truths. It’s food, not lab chemistry.
Guava pulp
The first ingredient. Real fruit that provides flavour and the food matrix.
Sugar
What turns fruit into fast-absorbing fuel. The carbohydrate that moves you at km 80 — no hiding it.
Pectin, citric acid, vitamin C & preservatives
Pectin (from the fruit itself) for texture; citric acid and vitamin C as acidulant and antioxidant; and the minimum preservative needed so it arrives intact in your jersey.
Radical transparency — from the label to your door.
The 12-unit Starter (9.99€) is the best first try. The 32-unit pack (13.99€) covers 4–6 outings and comes in two variants: Original — pure red guava, intense and deep flavour — and Combinado — red guava centre with white guava edges, a smoother and more floral note. The 64-unit Pack Mix (24.49€) includes one box of each: the most popular option for those who can't decide.
If you already know you prefer one style, the Pack 64 Original is the best price per unit. If it's your first order, the Starter or the Mix Pack are the safest bet.
“I started with 12 and now I always order 64. Once you try them there is no going back.”
During prolonged effort, your body needs fast-absorbing carbohydrates — and fruit sugar is exactly that. The difference with a gel is not the sugar: it is where it comes from and what comes with it.
“I suffer from gastrointestinal issues and it has been great. Digests really well even at high intensity.”
Here the fuel arrives inside a fruit matrix, with no xanthan gum or added maltodextrin. The carbohydrates contribute to the maintenance of performance during endurance exercise. (authorised EFSA claim)
Yes to all three. Formulated without substances on the WADA 2026 prohibited list. Certified vegan and audited gluten-free — both with independent certification, not just a label claim. Does not guarantee absence of cross-contamination — the athlete is always responsible for what they consume.
“I thought that being gluten-free and vegan it would taste different, but pleasantly it surprised me. You can feel the intense fruit flavour.”
The certifications are the consequence of starting from real fruit. When 59% is guava, you don’t need to add what others put in to compensate.
One answer is worth more than any marketing claim:
“In those moments where nothing else would go in, it was brilliant. It gave me an energy boost to finish 21 laps and 140 km. And at km 100 I still wanted the next one.”
This is not sofa nutrition. It is the format that works when gels won’t go down and bars are too hard to chew.
