Guide Review - Honey Stinger Energy Gel
I use energy gels on long walks when I am also pressing my speed. Chewing when you are breathing hard can lead to choking, so an energy gel is a convenient and safe way to maintain your energy. The Honey Stinger is natural and honey has been shown to keep your blood sugar levels constant rather than producing a sugar high followed by an insulin crash - it has a low glycemic index. Best of all - I liked the taste. It reminds me of honey with butter - yummy! The regular and mint flavors have no caffeine while the ginsting flavor has caffeine and ginseng for an added boost. Honey Stinger helps maintain your salt balance as well. For long walks, use a gel pack once an hour.
