Honey Stinger Energy Gel

Honey Stinger

I buy Honey Stinger a lot. The gels are a little on the sweeter side, but very effective. The gels are good for a quick energy boost when I’m lagging. Not my main source of ride nutrition though.

Good stuff - able to take it on long runs

Most gels start to disgust me after the 5th one or so, and on long runs as a 200ish lb guy, I need to keep my fuel coming. I’ve switched to these from Gu and I’m very happy with the result. I’m able to keep taking them every 3 miles on my long runs, with 6-7 gels not being uncommon. I enjoy the mix of caffeine, sodium and regular gels in the variety pack, and I don’t get repulsed at the thought of another gel later in the long runs. Also, they don’t upset my stomach, keeping me going, with me being the only limiting factor!

Best Tasting

I've tried most of the caffeinated gels to see which I like best and Honey Stinger is it. Tastes so good I want to savor it instead of gulping it down.
