Honey Stinger Energy Waffle, Vanilla, 12 Waffles, 1.06 oz (30 g) Each

These waffles are just what I need for that little bit of carbs before a run or workout. I usually have one about 10-20mins before and have never had any digestion problems. I workout early in the morning, so usually only have a few minutes and don't want anything heavy. They are light, taste great, and provide just a little extra I need for my early morning workouts.

I really like this flavor. Also, I like these more than energy bars. Bars get messy when hot, and are more bulky. These fit in my jersey pocket better. Taste is, of course, sweet (after all, it is honey), but I didn't find it over the top sweet, and I also didn't find it as sweet as the salted caramel. I will definitely purchase more, although I still want to try other flavors. This is the perfect size for my jersey pocket and also to take on trips to Europe when I need a quick energy boost.

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!

These waffles I received were very crumbly especially compared to the other waffles. It makes for a very messy eating experience. Not sure if this is normal or I got a bad batch. I would like more chocolate taste. These are my least favorite waffles.
