Description

Honey. The original goo.

For centuries we've eaten honey and known it as a ready-made source of quick energy. The fact is: the bees that make it do all of the work in terms of preparing it into a blend of simple sugars that is readily absorbed by our bodies. Honey Stinger Energy Gel relies on honey as a main ingredient for this very reason.

Honey Stinger products are great during intense endurance efforts for another reason. They have a 1:1 fructose to glucose ratio -- the same as the fruits we eat. What this means is that during hard exercise, Honey Stinger Gels won't upset your stomach, leaving you thinking less about your race and more of when can you get off the bike and find some relief. The gels are just right if you're looking for the quickest form of energy. They go down quick, are delicious, and are more quickly absorbed into the bloodstream than any of Honey Stinger's products.

Honey Stinger Energy Gel comes in a box of 24 gel packets. Each Energy Gel packet is one serving and contains 120 calories. Honey Stinger Energy Gels are available in an assorted flavor pack or in five distinct flavors -- Banana, Chocolate, Gold, Ginsting, and Strawberry. The Ginsting and Strawberry gels have 32mg of caffeine from kola nut extract to give you a little extra sizzle right out of the gate or after a few hours on the bike.

First tried on out on a hot, sweaty run -- and gave the box away when I got back. The honey taste is just too much in those conditions -- fruit-flavored stuff just seems to go down better. On the other hand, that one pack I did choke down did seem to do a good job of keeping me going, so if you like the taste it's a great choice.

Got the banana flavor, and it's actually pretty good. Still mostly tastes like honey, but with a hint of banana. A lot like banana runts actually. I was hoping these would give me a huge turbo boost of energy after eating one, but so far I haven't really been able to tell much of a difference. Then again, I'm not racing or anything. I'm sure it must do something, right?

I went the chocolate flavored direction on this and it certainly is more honey than chocolate, but still pretty good. What I found intertesting is that it worked more than decently when it comes to supplying energy.

To further explain, I am a more anaerobic individual when it comes to my work. Which is saying whatever I do (run, bike, ski, etc.) I go all out, 100%, at all times. So, when I am on my 4th straight day of activity, the body begins to break down and I found that I could get more out of this gel at those times than the normal gels. It doesn't outdo the caffeine addled ones, but the only thing that would beat those out is human edible rocket fuel.

The first Honey Stinger Ginsting I had I almost threw up. But I had bought a box so I wasn't going to let them go to waste. On my second race with these I had become used to them and was able to put three down successfully. They do their job at preventing bonking and i like the taste a little better than Gu.

They are honey so they consistency is a little lighter than the Gu. Like most gels try and make sure you finish every last drop before you throw it in your pack or in your bike shorts or you will have honey all over your stuff.

As others have said...the honey taste outshines other gel "flavorings". It has to be the honey.

The thickness is a slight issue in cooler weather. But that is the same for all.

I prefer the banana, myself. It is tasty but doesn't linger.

These taste like honey, obviously! What that means is, they go down a lot better than a gluggy gel when you need to slam it down in a real hurry! I try to avoid gels where possible, but with 20km to go in a race, I love to get one of these Honey Stinger Gels down to give me a great little energy kick.

My hat goes of to all of you who found this product "edible". Seriously makes me wanna toss my cookies. We have bees here at my house that was NOT honey. I know it's not trying to be honey exactly, but it's still disgusting.

By far the best tasting energy gels I've tried. Great for triathlon's or long runs/bike rides when you gotta fight the bonk.

I tried my first Honey Stinger Gel today. The strawberry honey combination tasted great and gave me instant energy. What really impressed me was the consistency, it was thinner than most gels making it easier to eat while running. A great product that I look forward to using again and again and again..!!!

These carried me to the finish the Leadville 100 run this past year. Great tasting, easy to eat, even after eating them straight for 24 hours. My only gripe is that there is not a gel with caffeine yet...Even so - Great tasting - would recommend them over everything else.

the Ginsting and the Strawberry both have 32mg of caffiene; the Gold and the Banana have none...

Sure, the energy part gives you a kick, but when you first try the Honey Stinger gel (gold flavor) for the first time, if you've been raised on the typical gels, this stuff is surprising. Its a little thicker than others I've used such as Gu an PowerGel, but its flavor is a welcome relief. The Gold flavor tastes just like pure honey.

The Gold, Ginsting, and the Banana are my favorites; the Strawberry is pretty good, too, and I love the caffiene kick from that one...

No one has mentioned the chocolate yet in their reviews. I tried it because, well, I tried all of them. Not sure what it was about the chocolate and honey combo, because I like both of those flavors, but it was not good. I don't think it was just me, either, because I couldn't give those things away.

I find some of these reviews hilarious. "It tastes like honey." IT *IS* HONEY!

And for those asking about caffiene, the Ginsting and the Strawberry both have 32mg of caffiene; the Gold and the Banana have none.

as if the other 20 positive reviews aren't enough, lets just say i would usually run solo without any form of energy supplement that is. The first day i used this i ended up running a bit farther than i ever have yet, the "ginsting" sure helped with that extra push we all need for that final stretch..

I got these on a whim after reading the glowing reviews and realizing perhaps I didn't have to suppress my gag reflex to get down some energy goo. These work great and taste delicious. Only possible downside is crystallization if you let them sit around for too long, but they're so delicious they won't be sitting on your shelf for too long...

These are perfect for every ride. The flavors are great, but Gold and Ginsting are my favorite.

From the first time I tried the Honey Stinger Gel, I was hooked. It tastes like honey, not some lab concoction with a bunch of stuff I can't pronounce in it. I've never had stomach issues using it, and it definitely gives me the boost I need on long runs/races.

The best gel out there for racing and riding long distances. Never upsets my stomach or leaves a syrupy taste in my mouth. Tastes great!!

I've been using Honey Stinger products for several years, and they never let me down. The energy I get from the gel is excellent. It's predictable and sustained, so there are no peaks and valleys. It's also tasty which is critical for longer excursions where I have trouble taking in calories. I highly recommend this product.
