 Great Energy Snack, April 19, 2011
By Mr. CoolDog
|
|
Honey stinger waffles can't be beat for a reasonably low cal pick me up. They are my favorite "in between" in between Pro Bars and Lara Bars. My only criticism is Amazon does not reliably keep them in stock. Love organic honey stinger waffles.

Love these!, May 28, 2011
By vw8212
|
|
These are definitely my on-the-bike choice for food. I can't stomach the taste or texture of Clif and other nutrition bars, but I love these waffles. I'd eat them even while not on my bike, whereas I'd only eat a Clif bar if I was close to starving to death. Plus they're organic!

Perfect for that mid-run refuel, May 30, 2011
By E. Hansberry (Southern California)
|
|
These things are perfect for a mid-run refuel. After about 2 hrs I want something more substantial than the honey gels and these are perfect. The right amount of sweetness without being overwhelming. I never go on long runs or hikes without one.

Tasty... one more please, September 9, 2011
By phil (Claremont, CA)
|
|
Honey Stinger is a pleasant addition to an endless energy bar section at your local bike store. You know about those energy bars, sure it gives you energy / carbs / protein but they are a pain to eat (way too hard / chewy, nasty tasty, etc). Honey Stinger really hit the spot as a healthy tasty alternative. (I sound like a commercial but I do not work for them... wish I did, then I can just eat them by the case).
Of note, I'm a cyclist, so my review will be with a cyclist slant.
Wrapping: It's pretty easy to open with the little jagged edge at the top and bottom. When I go ride, I usually partially open the pack to make my life easier.
Taste: Man, this thing tastes great. I would eat it for breakfast, lunch, AND dinner. I believe they have different flavors, I usually stick with Honey as the standard.
Ease of eating (important for me as a cyclist): The waffles are soft, perhaps a little bit too soft. I think if you hold it at one end, the other end will probably start to sag. But I usually don't hold it long enough before the whole thing makes it to my mouth. This is soft, so you can swallow it in a couple of bites / chews. So much better than some of the energy bars that takes forever to chew and swallow.
Cons: The only gripe that I have is that it is crumbly.. little tiny bits will fall off the edges or linger at the edge of your mouth. The other thing is that it is soft, so don't place too much pressure on it or you'll find your waffle shaped like a fortune cookie.
Overall, I think this is the best fuel on bike. I usually bring this and some Sport Beans on my ride.

Good change up bike fuel, April 28, 2011
By Richard Fiske
|
|
I use this product for endurance mountain biking and training for races. These waffles are very tasty and a nice change-up from my other on-the-bike fueling options. The only downside is that they have more fat than I prefer but this hasn't caused any digestive issues. Packaging is OK for eating on the fly - could be better but I've seen worse.

 Thin, tasty, and no GI issues (for me), December 30, 2011
By Sean
|
|
These are thin so that several can be put in a pack without taking up too much room. The packages are about 5x4 inches and 3 or 4 packages stacked is about an inch.
They taste good (especially when compared with some of the other endurance foods) and go down fairly easy even after 30 miles.
Perhaps most importantly, they have never given me any GI issues during a run. Of course this can vary from person to person, but they're worth a try.
The only reason I deducted a star is because they're a bit overpriced for what they are.

Like the dutch "stroopwafels" or syrup wafels, December 27, 2011
By PRETTYTASTYREVIEWS.BLOGSPOT
|
|
These are pretty good.
I do not find this brand easily, but after trying these I realized these are just like the "german" or Dutch "stroopwafels" or syrup wafels.
In Europe people put these over a cup of coffee or tea to soften them up and eat them every day.
You can find these in european stores for a lot less than the honey stinger brand.
The only thing is the european wafels and north american ones I buy (a store brand from canada) they come in a box of 8 and not individual packages- but then again I am paying $4 for a box of 8 or $3 on sale.
I just put them in a ziplok bag or else something easy to pack and eat from!

These are freaking delicious., October 2, 2011
By Tracy
|
|
My sister discovered these not too long ago and raved about them, and finally this morning I ate one for breakfast before a sprint triathlon. YUM YUM YUM. By the lightness of the package I would've thought it was a piece of cardboard, but no, it's a flat waffle-shaped piece of heaven. It's really the first non-gross food geared toward working out I have come across. Excuse me while I buy out Amazon's entire supply. FRICKIN DELICIOUS.

Delicious Taste in a Small Package, September 29, 2011
By Chestoozo (Ashburn, VA)
|
|
I'm a big fan of waffles and honey, so when Honey Stinger came up with this product I had to check it out. The taste is delicious - sweet honey and toasted waffle goodness. My only complaint is the portion size, which at 1oz left me craving more!
They fit well in a jersey pocket for snacks during long rides and open fairly easily, even while riding. All in all, I think they're a good source of energy for periodic re-fueling.

A nice change from gels, chews, etc.., August 31, 2011
By G. Kauppila (United States)
|
|
Tired of gels, chews, bloks, & beans? I am. I saw the ads for this and thought "what next". Then I tried one. Man, these are the bomb!! They are a delicious change from all the other stuff out there. They are dry, but easy to eat with a dry mouth. They aren't very sticky either so they are easy to eat while running. They won't melt when kept in my hydration vest pocket or SPI Belt. I like em when I'm dong 13+ mile runs now. I usually eat one every 40 minutes with Honey Stinger chews in between. They are about 170 calories, but the about 3.5gm of saturated fat. Seems like alot for something like this.

I love these, April 6, 2012
By Jason Giles
|
|
Honey Stinger Waffles have become my go-to prerace breakfast. For a half marathon, I'll usually eat one about 2 hours before the race, another about 45 minutes before the start, and then I'm good to go. They are tasty and very easy to digest. The strawberry and vanilla varieties are also good, but the honey is my favorite.

Great for variety during long rides, September 27, 2011
By Mark Newman
|
|
I've used drinks, bars, gels, and gummies on rides. This product has been great for adding variety to my routine. They've replace the bars for me as they're lighter and easier on my stomach.
They work great for me on the bike, but I'm not sure I'd try them on the run. My stomach's not usually game for solids when running.
Give them a try -- they're easy to buy as singles at running and biking stores if you're not sure about committing to a box!

Tasty bonk-avoiding bike treat for extra energy, August 24, 2011
By Kenny D. Smith
|
|
The shipment was quick and the product is quality. We'd tried a sample from the LBS and then decided to buy them in bulk. One of the units was opened, so we discarded that, but everything else has been of high quality.
They go down well on the ride with a little bit of water. Now if only I could look more graceful in getting the individual packages open while on the ride.

Best snack for any cyclist. I greatly recommend these to anyone looking for an alternative to the chalky tasting sports energy bars or gels. I love them before or after a ride.

Pretty good for money.., July 8, 2011
By B. Balasubramanian
|

I am not a pro biker.. but when I usually do considerable miles weekly 3-4 times a day. One thing I will make sure is not leave my home with out one of these waffles.. It not only taste great, it gives a great kick whenever you needed it. I hear it does not add too much calories from cycling pro's :) so, I am good with it.

Seductively Delicious, November 9, 2011
By Rod Auric (Nashville, TN)
|
|
I'm sold on the product. I use it as a part of my long distance bicycle riding nutrition for a pre ride energy bump. But really, I eat it because they are so tasty. It's a good thing they are individually packaged as there is a huge temptation to eat several at once. I buy two boxes at a time because the other riders in my house have discovered my pre-ride indulgence and I don't want to run out. (Though I suspect they pilfer a few in between rides as well!) I'll admit they are little hard to eat while pedaling (pieces tend to break off) so I've adapted to using it pre-ride or at a break stop. I give it 4 stars, not 5, only because this last batch was not quite as fresh as I've had in the past. Oh what the heck. 5 stars! I'd write more but I hear a honey waffle calling my name.

Delicious, February 12, 2012
By Kris (Birmingham, MI)
|
|
This is a high carb snack, but it's the perfect pre-run fuel for me. I usually just eat half of one for an hour run. It's not too sweet and I enjoy the soft and chewy texture. I've had the strawberry, vanilla, and honey waffles, and although they were all good, I never get tired of the honey flavor. When I am craving something sweet for dessert, this also goes great with coffee or tea.
For longer runs, I like something with a little protein and caffiene in it....Accel gel is effective for me (and it tastes pretty good).

Awesome food for marathon training, February 9, 2012
By Brooklyn
|

I loved my waffles, I finally found something I enjoy eating on my long training runs! Much better than other sports bars or energy gels, although I do have to slow down to eat it but it tastes good and doesnt' leave weird after taste in my mouth like those energy gels.

Excellent Product!, February 8, 2012
By PennRunner
|
|
This product is just what I needed. I eat it 10-15 minutes before I run and it gives me just the right amount of energy to kick it up a notch in my workouts (without feeling like you are going to crash with consuming a sugar product). It was sent ontime, well wrapped, and is just what I was looking for. I will order this again.

Very tasty treats for the active waffle lover!, February 3, 2012
By toy fan 3000 (Hacienda Heights, CA USA)
|
|
I am a fan of the Honey Stinger bars, and bought these because I needed something lighter that I could take with me on my bike rides or before a jog. Wow these are very tasty and are enough of a snack to keep me going. They are as wide as the base of a soda can, and are great on the go. I would recommend these if you like the Stinger bars.

By M. Caswell

I originally decided to try these as a mid-ride snack during bike rides, but they're so good I usually eat most of them at home! It's a great snack for when you're craving something a little sweet.

love it, November 3, 2011
By Phillip P
|

I love these honey stingers on my rides.
Taste: Literally tastes like waffles with extra vanilla/honey
Texture: feels like a very condensed waffle
amount: If you want something to fill you up this wont be it...but it gives me enough for a little boost so i usually bring 2 with me on 40 mile rides...i only eat one but bring that extra just in case

Perfect for the early morning run....., October 25, 2011
By Tabitha (So.Cal, USA)
|
|
These are perfect for those early mornings when you gotta get out there but you don't want to take the time to feed yourself. Everyone knows you get a better workout when you're properly fueled but eating when you don't feel like it sucks. I just wanna get out there! These help me do that. Because they are made to be consumed on the run, no cramps or bloating. Although, you need to bring plenty of fluid, they will make you thirsty.

Light and Easy, September 20, 2011
By Njoyin' It (TN)
|
|
I love these waffles for a number of reasons, but the top ones include the natural ingredients, the kick they give you during long rides when you think there is no gas left in the tank, and how compact they are. I have found that these and the stinger organic chews are very easy to consume while riding and are not followed up with a heavy/rot gut feeling. And to top it off, for those of us who are reduced saliva producers, you don't need to consume half of a water bottle to get them down. Great product!

Fortune Cookie Delight, September 13, 2011
By jediseven
|

I hadn't heard of these but figured i'd give them a try. I'm a runner and am in the middle of training for the Marine Corps Marathon (forward). I tried one of these after going for a 9 mile run. With water, these are delicous. If I had to associate the taste to another product i'd say a fortune cookie!

Delicious and convenient!, March 26, 2012
By Average College Jane (USAF Academy)
|
|
I came on Amazon looking for energy gels and blocks, but ended up looking at this product because it ended up on my "What Other People Are Buying". I had read about the nutrition and race fuel benefits of waffles but thought that making actual waffles every morning was a bit too time-consuming (I'm really lazy). Anyway, bought these due to glowing reviews and they are indeed delicious. Now I eat 1 every morning with Greek yogurt. I'm not sure they'll give me the carbo boost I need during an actual workout, but they are definitely an excellent breakfast for training and race days.

Love at first bite!!!, May 17, 2012
By Chanteuse (LaLaLand)
|
|
In energy snack I've tried every form and brand. I think I finally found one that I'd stay with, until someone comes up with a better/tastier/easier product.
This is s small palm sized waffle, not hallow but semi soaked (moist). It will crumble therefore don't take it out of th package (the package can catch the falling crumbs)
To open is easy, just tear the folded area with your teeth or fingers (the tab in the back where the nutrition info is). It will open the pack right in the middle exposing half of the waffle. Just hold the half that's still in the package and start eating. This is the fastest and safest way to consume this product while on the go (I did just that while hiking, holding my poles in one hand and eating this from the other hand).
Haven't tried the chocolate flavor yet but I love all three (strawberry, vanilla, and honey) that I've tried. Bought Vanilla and Honey from Amazon in bulk. I know I will finish them based on my scheduled hikes coming up in the remaining 2012.
At 160 calories, it is a good hourly snack. But the reason I bought it is because it tastes GOOD and no need to work hard to eat it.

Love these waffles!, May 10, 2012
By JAy.
|
|
I have to say that the Stinger Waffles are the best energy snack to come on the market in years. I love these things. I cycle, and the fact that these are flat make them really easy to carry in a jersey pocket. They don't have huge amounts of calories, but they definitely help me keep going during a long workout. And they taste so good, that I keep them around as regular snacks, even when I am not exercising.
The only downside to these (and the reasons they get 4 stars): the packages aren't the easiest to open. I usually only open them when stopped if it is during a ride. If I could give half-stars, these would be 4.5!
