I've been a big fan of Honey Stinger products since training for my first marathon. The energy gels are my favorites during a race; the pocket-friendly gels are made with organic honey, which is easier for me to stomach during a run than more chemical-tasting gels.
When it comes to fueling before a workout, the Honey Stinger waffles are hard to beat. They taste like Dutch syrup waffle cookies and are made with organic ingredients and offer up fast-burning carbs, which make them perfect for grabbing right before I set out for a run or tossing in my gym bag for a pre-workout snack. The newest flavor, caramel waffle ($22 for 16), is an addictive mix of caramel-infused honey surrounded by two chewy, thin waffles. At 160 calories and 21 grams of carbs, it's the perfect way for me to energize before an intense workout.
