Trail Butter Maple Syrup & Sea Salt

Trail Butter Maple Syrup & Sea Salt is the salty-sweet nut butter that tastes like the best breakfast you've ever had on trail — in a packet you can squeeze on the move. A silky blend of almonds, cashews, pure maple syrup, and sea salt, it delivers 200 calories and 5 grams of protein per serving from nothing but whole-food ingredients. Vegan, tree-nut based, and built for sustained energy on long days out — rated 4.8 out of 5 stars by 35 reviews from hikers, ultrarunners, and travellers who keep coming back for more.

Almond and Cashew — A Silkier Base

Where most squeeze-pack nut butters lean on peanuts, Trail Butter's Maple Syrup & Sea Salt blend is built on a combination of almonds and cashews — a pairing that produces a noticeably silkier, creamier texture and a more subtle, mellow flavour base than peanut. Cashews contribute natural sweetness and a buttery smoothness; almonds add depth and a slightly earthier note. Together, they create a nut butter that feels closer to a premium almond-cashew spread than a standard trail gel, and pairs naturally with the maple and salt layers on top.

Real Maple Syrup — Not Flavouring

The sweetness in this blend comes from pure maple syrup — not maple flavouring, not corn syrup, not added sugar. Real maple syrup brings a warm, complex sweetness that synthetic alternatives can't replicate, along with naturally occurring trace minerals and a lower glycaemic impact than refined sugar. Combined with the richness of the nut base and a pinch of sea salt to bring everything into balance, the result is the kind of salty-sweet flavour that keeps you reaching into your pack for the next packet long after the hike is over.

Vegan and Built for Real-Food Fuelling

The full ingredient list: Almonds, Cashews, Avocado Oil, Pure Maple Syrup, Sunflower Lecithin, Sea Salt, Ground Vanilla. Completely plant-based, with no honey and no animal products — making this the fully vegan option in the Trail Butter lineup. The avocado oil keeps the blend smooth and squeezable in a range of temperatures, while ground vanilla adds a quiet warmth to the flavour profile without competing with the maple. For hikers, runners, and travellers who fuel plant-based, this is the blend to reach for.

200 Calories of Sustained, Fat-Driven Energy

Each 1.15 oz packet delivers 200 calories from a combination of healthy fats and natural sugars — the kind of energy profile that burns slowly and keeps you moving rather than spiking and dropping. Reviewers who've used it through 100-mile races, Search and Rescue operations, and multi-day backcountry trips consistently note that it provides quick and sustained energy without the stomach issues that can come with pure-carb gels and chews. For anything longer than a few hours on foot, the fat-to-carb ratio makes a meaningful difference.

Versatile On and Off Trail

The Lil' Squeeze packets work just as well as a camp kitchen ingredient as they do as a mid-hike fuel hit. Squeeze over oatmeal, stir into camp coffee, spread on crackers, or pair with apple slices for one of the better backcountry snack combinations going. Reviewers use them for trail running, ultramarathons, Search and Rescue, travel, and camping — and more than a few keep them at home for mornings when they need something quick and satisfying before heading out.
