Trail Butter

Some fast food is better than others.

Trail Butter Pro Dan Patitucci knows a thing or two about the Alps, he literally wrote the trail running guidebook to Switzerland and Chamonix.

If you have European travel plans, here's his trail nutrition tip:

1. Go to the grocery store Lidl and buy their packaged waffles.

2. Stuff waffles and Trail Butter in your vest.

3. Pile Trail Butter on waffles.

4. Have at it with great enthusiasm.

**Bonus: collect trail side blueberries and save as topping

Follow Dan at All Mountain Collective for additional recipes-- but more so for trail running inspiration.

UIAGM Guide and Trail Butter Pro Ryan Huetter shares a nutrition tip for guiding in the Alps.
You wouldn't want to put a gooey chemical on your baguette. But nut butter? Yes, please.

Homemade trail treats are better with Trail Butter.

Kim Strom ready to go all-in with what's in her hand.

With his laundry barely dry after riding the incredible Orogenesis Trail, Kurt Refsnider just crossed the state of Nevada by bike, foot and kayak.
We love seeing Kurt still able to find proper adventure by thinking outside the box. Respect.

For vegan athletes, travel nutrition can be a challenge. Trail Butter Pro Kim Strom always packs Trail Butter as a backup protein source and comfort food for when options are limited. 

Kim has spent a lot of time trail running in Nepal and Trail Butter's Big Squeeze is a life saver. It's not just a much needed protein source, it gives her a creamy, rich food that can be missing on a vegan diet.

It only got better with Butter.

The behind-the-back draw is always an impressive display of shoulder mobility and pre-planning of the Trail Butter placement.
It also typically means you've eaten what's in your front pockets and are too lazy to remove your pack.
