Lemon Waffles, Yes Please

So I go on and on about Honey Stingers, but honestly, they are amazing. I came home to a wonderful package yesterday!

I’m pretty obsessed with the Lemon Waffles, because I love lemon sandwich cookies and these have a very similar taste to them. The chocolate ones are also new and are close competition to the lemon. I haven’t really decided which one I like more, but they are the top two.

I’m really excited to try the other flavors of energy chews that I haven’t had yet. Fruit smoothie sounds delicious. I might taste test them later today before I swim/run/bike. I haven’t quite figured out what form of physical activity I’m doing but something equivalent to 5 miles running.

I kind of have a collection going and it is dwindling fast, even though you might not be able to tell.

The Luna and Clif Z bars are what I used to eat and we bought those ourselves. Now I’m hooked on Honey Stingers and it’s no lie. I think because my stomach is extremely sensitive and I usually have to wait a long time before running if I just ate. But the waffles are very light on my stomach and perfect before a run. I also love the energy bars if I have hours before running but don’t want something heavy to eat, and sometimes I eat them after because they are just delicious.

So since HoneyStingers is partnered with Lance Armstrong, it reminded me of the Tour de France! This is big in our family and we are big Mark Cavendish fans. His incredible good looks and charming accent may help, but his speed on two wheels is quite amazing.

*swoon*

My father wrote a blog post about the Tour as it is now over, you should go check it out

After we watched Cav win the final stage of the tour, we carried on with our tradition of Pancake Sunday

I love pancakes with crunchy peanut butter and syrup on top. Very filling and delicious!

Honeystingers For the Win

So I was graciously sent a ton of HoneyStinger products and fell madly in love. Especially with these guys: Rocket Chocolate Energy Bar

It’s a good thing I am addicted to them because look at the amount I was sent

Then of course I tried the energy chews which you can see my rates below. Not quite so much a fan of the lime-ade flavor but I LOVED the orange blossom and pink lemonade!

Then of course the waffles come in flavors of vanilla, honey, strawberry. LOVED them all!! A little bird also told me they just came out in chocolate and I would be pumped to try those!

You have got to try all the flavors if you have not! They are perfect for pre and during workout because they are packed with CHO for energy as well as calories! Not so great for refueling after because of the lack of protein, but great for pre because it’s so light on the stomach as well!

Speaking of protein though, they have protein bars and I tried this flavor and loved it!

I also got sent these energy bars as well

I enjoyed these, but once I was sent the chocolate ones I fell in love and had to cheat on the peanut butter ‘n honey ones. Sorry! :)

These are great because they are packed with both CHO and PRO and have a 3:1 ratio which is close to the ideal 4:1 ratio.

So in the end the only product that I did not enjoy too much was the lime-ade flavor of energy chews and that wasn’t even awful, just not my favorite.

I have definitely found what products my heart belongs to if I’m wanting an easy on the stomach pre workout fuel and also the chews would be great for towards the end of a half marathon to keep me going!!
