Honey Stinger Organic Chews Review

GOOD TO CHEW ON:

I've been using these for over a year now as part of my pre-ride/race ritual. Honey Stinger gels have been a staple in my jersey pocket for years due to their taste and honey-based nutrition, so it was natural that I try these. While some other products have 'slicker' packaging, I like the ease with which you can open the pouch on or off the bike (I used to open other products before I put them in my jersey). If HS could make the packaging easy to open, but more of a tube, I think these would be perfect. These are awesome on the start line when it's hard to choke down a gel, or throughout a long ride when it's nice to chew on something but you don't want to fill your stomach with a fiber-filled bar. I typically eat these while I'm getting dressed, at a stop during the ride, or on the start line instead of a gel now. I like to rotate the flavors so they don't get stale on my palate and I've found all to be quite agreeable.

My wife loves to eat these while she runs, and many would agree that she's more discerning than me! I would definitely recommend these.
