The short answer
For training or a long outing, take fruit that needs no fridge, comes in closed portions and fits in the gym bag or the belt. Born's 40 g bags (mango, pineapple, coconut with sea salt) do that and keep for up to 12 months closed, according to their product pages. The Pack Gym brings them together in one purchase. For a long route, the resealable 250 g bag of the Titan Desert Mix.
Pack Gym: what it contains and how to carry it
The Pack Gym contains:
- Organic mango, 40 g × 2.
- Organic pineapple, 40 g × 2.
- Coconut with sea salt, 40 g × 2.
- Ginger cubes × 1.
It is sweet on one side and salty on the other. It fits in the gym bag or the running belt. The product page suggests the mango before training and the pineapple and the coconut with salt afterwards, but that is only one possible order: everyone has their own habit and adapts it.
For a long outing by bike, trail or mountain
The Titan Desert Mix is a blend of semi-dried fruits with different flavours and textures, in a resealable 250 g bag. It is inspired by the Titan Desert, a mountain bike race. It opens and closes as many times as needed, so you can take the whole bag. The product page suggests it for bike, mountain, trail or open-water swimming.
What to take depending on the plan

- Texture. Mango and pineapple are tender. The coconut is the one that crunches. Each bag is one portion, with no sticky wrappers.

Limits
- This guide covers format, weight, storage, taste and habits. It says nothing about what fruit does in the body or in training.
- When and how much to eat is a personal decision. Born does not give nutritional advice and does not replace a professional's.
- Fruit coated in dark chocolate melts in the heat: it is not the best option for a backpack in the sun.
- The 40 g bags may contain traces of tree nuts and peanuts. Check the packaging.
- The Titan Desert Mix does not list on its product page which fruits it contains: check the packaging.
