No More Waffling!
Why and when should you eat a Honey Stinger Waffle? What’s in our Waffles that makes you feel so good, perform your best, and achieve your goals? You’re wise to wonder!
Our Waffle line-up was inspired by the European cycling obsession with the delicious Dutch stroopwafel otherwise known as the “syrup waffle.” The stroopwafel proved to be a hit for professional endurance athletes who relied on tasty carbs that were as digestible as they were portable.
So, in 2011, Honey Stinger introduced our Organic Honey Waffle. And its sweet and salty, crispy and gooey deliciousness quickly made it a top seller. In 2016, we created gluten free options and in 2020, we went small with Mini Waffles.
Carbs & Honey
Our Waffles deliver immediate energy, or carbohydrates. For athletes of all kinds, carbs are the primary fuel source during exercise. Our waffles contain carbs from many sources, but our favorite ingredient is honey. Honey is a fuel your body absorbs quickly, and it provides a sustained energy boost without the crash you get from refined sugars.
Honey is composed mainly of the simple sugars fructose and glucose. Fructose and glucose are absorbed via different routes in your body. When you consume both glucose and fructose at the same time, your body absorbs them at a higher rate than if you consume just glucose or fructose.
Fast absorption of carbs, or easy digestion, provides you with the right amount of fuel during your workout. Honey is direct hit. It’s a clean carb on the fast track!
Electrolytes & Immunity
Honey Stinger Waffles contain vital electrolytes including sodium and potassium. These nutrients help your body function as you continue to push harder, farther, and longer. Electrolytes help prevent dehydration and injury so you can stay active
Another perk of our Waffles? Our True Source Certified Organic Honey contains a diverse source of antioxidants for immunity. Antioxidants neutralize unstable free radicals in your body to prevent disease. Eat honey to stay healthy and get after it!
Prepare, Perform, & Recover
All Honey Stinger products, including our Waffles, fall into our full spectrum Prepare, Perform, and Recover model. This usage system helps you know what your next fuel source should be and why.
So, when should you consume our Waffles? When you Prepare and Perform. For best results, eat one 15-30 minutes before your activity. If you’re Performing for longer than an hour, you can refuel as needed.
Performance & Portability
Honey Stinger Waffles provide 140-160 calories apiece. Our Mini Waffles provide 130 calories per serving (three Minis). Our combination of honey and other natural sweeteners replenishes your muscles, improving your capacity for endurance and your potential for performance.

And because they’re easy to take with you, they’ve got you covered whether you’re in the zone, off the grid, dogged by summit fever, or just refuse to go home.
