What's the easiest way to intake nutrients during a ride/run

[Norse]

I can't vote, because I use all 3. One bottle with water, one with Gatorade, a gel pack and either one or several of these (depending on length of ride): sports bar, roasted salted nuts, dried fruit such as figs or apricots, crunchy peanut butter sandwich.

I generally go with gels and gatorade. But I also drink water. Generally every other bottle is gatorade.

I can't tolerate solid food on hot days, which is most of my riding.
