Honey StingerEnergy Gel - 24 Pack
Item # HON0009
Energy Gel
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, taste 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.
- Help your body energize, endure, and recover when you work out
- Includes organic honey as a main source of quick energy
- Individual gel packets for easy on-the-go energy
- Available in multiple flavors

Leaky packaging
On yesterday's ride I reached into my jersey pocket to find.. a mess of gooey muck! The Honey Stinger gel had leaked all over everything.. regardless of how good the product is, they need to get their packaging done correctly. I googled this problem and they've had leaky gels for at least five years.. not acceptable. I suggest that you avoid this product unless you're willing to risk getting slimed.

Quick and easy

These are a simple energy boost that is easy to take with you just about anywhere. I enjoy the gel more than actually eating something when I'm gassed at the top of a climb or hike.

Great pick up
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
These worked so great for an extended hiking carb and electrolyte. Definitely picked up the group when I passed them out. The taste proved to be a hit as everyone really liked the flavor and the fact they weren't too thick.

Taste good but bad packaging
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
These would get a higher score but the ones I got have not been sealed well enough at the opening and keep splitting open in my pack and pockets. Otherwise they taste great, are easy to digest and provides just the right amount of boost to keep you going. Hopefully mine were a production mistake but I am going to put them in a ziplock from now on.

While they may be a bit sweet; these gels really work; providing that extra lift to get us to the front of the group a the finish.

Great fuel

These "honey's" have a great flavor and provide substantial fuel for the burn. Been a great addition to my long hikes and runs. I really appreciate that real honey is used and natural benefits associated with that.

"It's just honey!"
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
Yum. yum! I've been a skeptic of the whole space-food situation when playing bikes or ultra-running. No more! A friend handed me some of these fine fellows on a recent v long ride, when I was approaching **hangry** and shazam, felt so much better that I went out and bought a box that day. The viscosity of the gel is just right for slurping down mid-activity. It also does not leave me parched or feeling like I'm eating something only to survive as they are delish!

I got the Ginsting
Ginsting...? It wasn't bad, but it was very honey'ish. Ginseng? I have no clue what ginseng tastes like. I am not some hippy dippy person who eats that crap. This is decent stuff. It is like if some honey bee got into some ginseng and made some honey out of it.

Keep This Handy
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
I always have a couple of these in my pack of gear must-haves when mountain biking and I need some quick energy. I'll have one before a longer or challenging ride as well for a good start. I buy these always by the case before going to Moab for the weekend, and always come home with an empty box (my friends indulge as well). I go for the Gold. *** Questions?

Exactly What I Was Looking For
I was originally confused by these and the organic flavored ones and ended up getting the latter in Fruit Smoothie. I'm still not totally sure I understand the difference but nonetheless liked them although that specific flavor was a little too fruity. Gave these a try in gold as a result and they're exactly what I was looking for to keep me fueled while biking/hiking/skiing. Thanks America.

love these. my friend let me try her GOLD gel on one of our first (running) races, and i just stuck with it. i'm training for the marathon this year and have used it in 5 races so far. needs to be taken with water as they are slightly thick and concentrated. had a hard time finding them in-stock at local stores, so i ended up buying a box so i wouldn't have to worry about finding them before every race!
