Product Description
Four hours into a long run or big day in the mountains, your gut starts talking back. The sweet synthetic gels that worked fine in hour one are the last thing you want to look at in hour four. Here's what the most experienced trail athletes know: your palate — and your stomach — will thank you when you've got real food in the rotation.
Trail Butter is the nut butter built specifically for the long haul — a calorie-dense, plant-based blend of real nuts, natural sweeteners, and recognizable ingredients that delivers the kind of slow-burning, sustained energy that keeps you moving without the sugar spike and crash of processed fuel.
Real Food, Not a Lab Formula Every flavor is made from whole, recognizable ingredients — almonds, honey, avocado oil, sea salt, fair trade dark chocolate, real coffee grounds. You can read the ingredient list without a chemistry degree. That matters when you're six hours in and your gut needs something it can actually process.
Fat + Carbs = Sustained Energy Trail Butter pairs healthy fats from nuts with natural carbohydrates — the combination that keeps your blood sugar stable and your energy consistent across long efforts. It's not a quick hit like a gel; it's a reliable fuel that bridges the gap between your fast-burning carb sources and keeps hunger at bay on big days.
The Format That Works Anywhere Squeeze it straight from the pouch, spread it on a rice cake, drop it into a smoothie, pair it with fruit. The Lil' Squeeze single-serve packets are made for vest pockets and hip pack side pouches. The Big Squeeze 4.5oz pouches are your base camp, pre-race, or long training day companion.
How To Use Trail Butter
On the go: Tear the corner off a Lil' Squeeze packet and eat directly. No mess, no prep. It fits anywhere a gel does and then some.
As a bridge fuel: Reach for Trail Butter 45–60 minutes into an effort when your initial carb load starts to taper. It's ideal for long hikes, ultra runs, multi-hour rides, or any activity where you'll be eating real food anyway.
Pro tip: Pair the Dark Chocolate & Coffee flavor with a mid-effort energy gel for a caffeinated real-food combo that won't wreck your stomach. The 15mg of natural caffeine from real coffee grounds gives you a gentle lift without the hit of a high-caffeine gel.
Stop white-knuckling your way through another synthetic gel when you're already five hours deep. Trail Butter is real food that actually fuels.

Trail Butter FAQ's
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Trail Butter works best as a mid-effort real food fuel — typically 45–60 minutes into a long effort, or whenever you'd naturally want something more substantial than a gel. On long hikes or ultra-distance events, it fits perfectly into your regular eating schedule every 45–90 minutes alongside faster-acting carb sources.
Gels are designed for fast carbohydrate delivery and are great for intensity. Trail Butter is built for longer, steadier efforts where you need more calories, more satiety, and fuel that your gut will actually tolerate hour after hour. The combination of healthy fats, protein, and natural carbs gives you sustained energy without the blood sugar spike and crash that can come from back-to-back gels.
Trail Butter is plant-based, non-GMO, soy-free, and paleo-friendly. It does contain tree nuts (almonds) or peanuts depending on the flavor, and the Dark Chocolate & Coffee flavor uses fair trade dark chocolate. It is not suitable for athletes with nut allergies.
Trail Butter keeps well at room temperature, making it ideal for travel, race bags, and vest pockets. No refrigeration needed.
