Product Description
The problem with gels isn't always the formula; sometimes it's the format. Chews let you fuel without the squeeze-and-chug, and the category has gotten crowded fast. Here's what most athletes don't realize: every brand is doing it differently enough that finding your perfect one requires an actual taste test.
The Chew Report is the only pack that covers the full spectrum of chewable energy in a single test run, every major approach to the category, side by side.
The Full Chew Spectrum, One Test Run From Honey Stinger's organic honey-based chews to SANTAMADRE's Spanish jelly bar, this pack spans the entire chew category, different carb sources, textures, and philosophies that would take months to test if you bought them separately.
Real Variety, Not Just Different Flavors You're testing genuinely different products here. Skratch Labs and Veloforte use real fruit juice. Honey Stinger adds caffeine. SaltStick loads in electrolytes alongside the carbs. Amacx and SANTAMADRE are European pro cycling brands most U.S. athletes have never had in their kit.
Every Brand Earned Its Spot From Noogs' sour-candy-style chews that somehow still taste good at mile 20, to GU's proven Rainbow Fruit packet, nothing in this pack is filler. Each one represents a legitimate take on what a chew should be.
Every product in this pack runs on fast carbohydrates, the fuel your muscles need during sustained effort. Honey Stinger uses organic honey, blending two types of sugar for rapid absorption and easy digestion. Skratch Labs and Veloforte use real fruit juice bases that tend to sit better on sensitive stomachs. SaltStick layers in the minerals that keep your muscles firing alongside every gram of carbs, and the caffeinated Honey Stinger adds 32mg of caffeine to sharpen focus without a crash.
Pick One Per Session: Use one product per training session so you can accurately track how each sits in your stomach and how your energy holds at pace.
Timing: Take your chosen chew at the 30–45 minute mark to keep your carbohydrate stores topped up — most packets deliver 20–25g of carbs per serving.
Pro Tip: Test the caffeinated Honey Stinger on shorter, harder efforts and save Skratch or Veloforte for long days. Your preferences will tell you everything about your gut and your pacing strategy.
Amacx fuels European professional cycling teams, Veloforte is a staple in UK endurance racing, and Honey Stinger has been the go-to chew for elite trail runners and triathletes for years.
Stop settling for whichever chew you happened to try first. This is the full chew category in one training week — find your winner.

The Chew Report FAQ's
Everything you need to know about The Chew Report.
The pack contains eight single-serving products: Noogs Sour Energy Chews (Wicked Apple), Honey Stinger Energy Chews (Berry Blast with Caffeine), SaltStick Energy Gummies (Sour Pop Rocket), Amacx Energy Fruit Chew (Cassis/Black Currant), Veloforte Energy Chews (Lemon & Cool Mint), GU Energy Chews (Rainbow Fruit), Skratch Labs Energy Chews (Grape), and the SANTAMADRE Jelly Bar (Strawberry). That's eight completely different approaches to chewable endurance fuel in one pack.
Not even close. Some use organic honey as the carb base (Honey Stinger), others use real fruit juice (Skratch Labs, Veloforte), and some are specifically formulated to deliver electrolytes alongside carbohydrates (SaltStick). The SANTAMADRE Jelly Bar is closer to a gel in bar form — a format entirely different from traditional chews. Even the texture, sweetness level, and how each sits in your stomach varies significantly between brands.
Yes — the Honey Stinger Berry Blast Energy Chews in this pack include caffeine (32mg per serving). The other seven products are caffeine-free, which makes this pack a useful way to test how your body responds to caffeinated versus non-caffeinated fueling mid-effort.
Start fueling before you feel hungry — around the 30–45 minute mark of any effort lasting longer than an hour. Take 1–2 chews every 15–20 minutes depending on intensity, following the dosage on each packet. Most products in this pack deliver 20–25g of carbohydrates per full serving, which aligns with current sports nutrition guidance for sustained endurance performance.
