We spoke with four registered dietitians and run coaches, who offered product recommendations and broke down what to look for in the best energy gels for running. We selected the winners on their criteria, including:
- Calories
- Carbohydrates
- Caffeine
- Flavor
- Consistency
- Cost
Honey Stinger's running gels are made with (you guessed it) honey, which is more easily digested and absorbed into your system. Honey is also lower on the glycemic index than other gels that include simple sugars, so it reduces fluctuating spikes and dips in blood sugar.
