Product Description
Honey Stinger changed the game when they introduced honey-based gels to endurance athletes, built on better ingredients (organic tapioca syrup and organic honey) for two easily digestible sources of sugar. These sugars are completely natural and deliver the same energy profile you're looking for.
All About That Honey
Honey is a great carbohydrate source because it contains both glucose and fructose, letting the body absorb more at once without stomach distress, and use it more efficiently as fuel.
These gels have a thinner consistency than most, making them easy to eat, digest, and absorb during exercise. They're certified gluten-free, soy-free, and dairy-free, with tapioca syrup and honey as the carbohydrate base across the whole lineup.
The line now spans three categories:
- Classic (Gold, Fruit Smoothie, Acai Pomegranate) no caffeine, no added electrolytes
- Caffeinated (Strawberry Kiwi at 32mg, Salted Caramel Latte at 70mg)
- Electrolyte (Raspberry Lemonade, Watermelon Lime) added electrolytes for hot, sweaty efforts
Flavors vary in sweetness and intensity — Gold is the lightest, most neutral option, while Fruit Smoothie and Acai Pomegranate are sweeter and bolder.
How to Use Honey Stinger Energy Gels:
Use these during exercise lasting more than an hour, at a rate of 1-2 gels per hour to stay properly fueled. Because they're built for fast-absorbing energy, it's best to pair them with solid food and plenty of fluids during lower-intensity, longer efforts. Pushing the pace? Bump up to 2-3+ gels per hour, plus fluids.
Pro tip: Add a Gold Energy Gel to hot tea for a boost of hydration, sweetness, and electrolytes before a cold winter workout.

Honey Stinger Energy Gel FAQ's
Honey Stinger Energy Gel, Answered.
An organic honey-based energy gel with 24g of carbohydrates, added electrolytes, and a thinner consistency that's easy to consume during hard efforts. USDA Organic, certified gluten-free, soy-free, and dairy-free.
Honey naturally contains both glucose and fructose, which means your body can absorb more carbs per hour using both intestinal transporters simultaneously — the same principle behind the 2:1 glucose-to-fructose ratios you see in performance gels. Organic tapioca syrup rounds out the formula. No artificial sugars, no synthetic ingredients.
Thinner than most. That's intentional — it goes down easier when you're breathing hard, especially in the second or third hour of an effort when thick, syrupy gels become hard to stomach. Less fighting, more fueling.
Strawberry Kiwi and Salted Caramel Latte are the caffeinated options. All others — Raspberry Lemonade, Watermelon Lime, Fruit Smoothie, Acai Pomegranate, and Gold — are stimulant-free. Gold has the lightest, most neutral flavor profile if you're sensitive to sweetness on long efforts.
1-2 gels per hour for efforts over an hour. For higher-intensity work, 2-3 per hour with plenty of fluids. Always pair with water, not a sports drink. Pro tip: squeeze a Gold gel into hot tea before a cold morning workout — instant sweetness and electrolytes.
