PRODUCT REVIEW: HONEYSTINGER WAFFLE- GINGER

I had some American friends who used these and other Honey Stinger products for fuel during running. I managed to try some of these at the New York Half Marathon Expo this year and bought a box as I really like the flavour.
They are nice and light and not as sweet as other fuels which I really like. I cannot stand that hideous sugar after taste that comes with a lot of running fuel. Each pack only 160 calories, gives you something to chew on rather than suck back like a gel so makes a great pre race fuel. It is a "honey based energy food made with natural ingredients". There are some other syrups/sweet ingredients in there, please use your own judgement to decide if this product suits you, your diet or your beliefs about food.
I really like them.

PRODUCT REVIEW: GU GEL - SALTED CARAMEL

When I first started running, I couldn't stomach Gu Gels. I loved the idea of all their flavours, but they never sat right in my belly. In the last 12-18 months, things have changed and I have been able to use these gels and I really do like them.
My #1 favourite is the salted caramel flavour. It is sweet but not sickly. These gels also don't have that vile aftertaste that some of the synthetic fuels have.  Best deal I have ever had is $1USD each at the NYC Marathon Expo. However, if you are not able to get there in November, then click below and the lovely people at Amazon can send some to you!

PRODUCT REVIEW: POWERBAR WAFER - CHOC/PEANUT BUTTER

Powerbar is one of the big hitters when it comes to running fuel making gels, protein bars, wafers and other fuelling options for athletes.
I had never tried these wafers until I saw them at the NYC Marathon Expo in 2014.
I decided to buy a few and wish I had bought a bunch.
At 160 cals, they provide a reasonable pre race/mid race fuel option.
They do come in other flavours, but I prefer this one.
I like the fact that they provide a bit of a boost but aren't sickly sweet. An issue I have with lots of the synthetic fuels out there.

PRODUCT REVIEW- POWERBAR PERFORMANCE ENERGY WAFER

PowerBar is one of the big hitters when it comes to running fuel. They have a wide selection of gels, protein bars, wafers and other fuelling options for  all athletes.
I had never tried these wafers until I saw them at the NYC Marathon Expo in 2014.
I decided to buy a few and wish I had bought a bunch.
At 160 cals, they provide a reasonable pre race/mid race fuel option.
They do come in other flavours, but this is the only one that actually.
I like the fact that they provide fuel but aren't sickly sweet, an issue I have with lots of the synthetic fuels available. It can also be broken in half as it is pre-scored.
You can buy them individually or in a pack of 12.
