I am a HUGE fan of GU Chomps.... I love them, as in, I eat them for a snack in the middle of the day.... BUT I'm always looking to change my nutrition up when it comes to working out. I need variety....I can't stay the same old course with chomps...I'm still trying to get used to the texture of gels so anything that I can taste test before I purchase, I do.
In Austin this weekend at the LiveStrong expo Honey Stinger had a booth. Lance is part owner in the company and the spokesperson...
We passed by and they had out all of their typical samples, protein bars and gels. But this wafer looking thing caught my eye. Seriously...wouldn't you notice THAT?!?
I was intrigued...and hungry....so I tried it. YUM-O! This little round wafer of goodness is the Honey Stinger Waffle.It reminded me of a crispy pancake with honey syrup or perhaps a healthier sopapilla if you will. (I think there is a hint of cinnamon in it) Either way it is DELICIOUS. Something different from the gels, chomps, etc you are used to on the bike. They fit nicely in the jersey pocket or in your bike's pouch/bento box. They have also become my favorite breakfast treat.

I bought a handful in Austin at
Mellow Johnny's (where I met McDreamy). I was browsing on the Honey Stinger website today and you can go online and find a local dealer near you. You can also order online (but online is out of stock right now). So go online....find a store near you and pick up a few packs (or a box) and try them today.... you won't be sorry.
Honey Stinger also has some pretty cool cycling gear... you can check it out on their website

Enjoy!!
