Honey Stinger Gluten-Free Organic Waffle Maple 16/Bx

This is a great flavor, but doesn't overtake my number one choice of Chocolate. However, the Cookies & Cream flavor is gluten-free and Chocolate is not currently available as a gluten-free option (at least not according to what's on the website). I swear by the Chocolate flavor waffles, so I can tell you that these are very close to that. Definitely recommend these for those with gluten-free concerns and will still recommend them as a nice variation on their standard Chocolate flavor.

These are SO DELICIOUS!! You'll never know they are gluten free ( in case you think you wouldn't like them because of that ) . There are also endless possibilities to "top" them with .. because they go with so many ideas and each is as yum just like pb&J ..

These are wonderful pre-workout or workout fuel! I use these for running, cycling, running, and weight lifting if I need some fuel right before a workout (I usually eat one about 60-45 min before) or during a workout. They aren't very sturdy, so if you throw one in a running vest or a pocket, expect it to get pretty smashed up, but that doesn't effect their ability to deliver carbs on demand. Also great to keep at your base camp or aid station for really long workouts. Sometimes you just need solid fuel, when you get sick of eating gels all day, and these are my go-to for that.

I have been a Honey Stinger waffle fan for many years. The new Short Stack flavor is welcome, even though I didn't think the previous flavor option were lacking. They taste just like a stack of pancakes with maple syrup, mmmmmm. My only knock is that it seems the non-gluten-free waffles are a bit too crumbly, and are easily damaged in the packaging which makes them harder to consume without spilling pieces everywhere. It would be nice if there was a way to make them a bit more "gummy" to keep them from getting so crumbly. I really don't like to eat them on the indoor trainer since it's so hard to keep crumbs from flying everywhere. LOVE everything else about them!

I'll eat these things for breakfast - sometimes with peanut butter, I'll eat them on rides when I'm feeling hungry - sometimes 2 at a time. They are delicious! Sometimes they can get broken up in my jersey or trying to open them while riding but not a big deal. I love them!
