Organic honey turned into the best-tasting endurance fuel on the market. Waffles, chews, gels, and bars trusted by 2,000+ pro and collegiate teams — and by a lot of the dietitians who feed them.
Honey Stinger is the Steamboat Springs, Colorado endurance-fuel company built around one idea: if the ingredient list starts with honey, the product is already better than most of what's on the shelf.
The company was founded in 2002 by Bill Gamber, whose family has been in the honey business since 1946 — his grandparents started Dutch Gold Honey in Pennsylvania and, in 1954, formulated the original En-R-G Bar, one of the first honey-based athletic energy bars ever made. Honey Stinger is that same fueling instinct, modernized for an era of waffles, chews, gels, and bars.
The catalog is organized around three moments any Sports RD will recognize — Prepare (sustained energy before activity), Perform (quick, balanced energy during), and Refuel (protein + carbs after). It's a clean, unambiguous framework that matches how dietitians actually build a fueling plan.
Every brand on Nutrition Locker has to clear the bar before it reaches an RD's cart. Honey Stinger clears it because:
Honey Stinger's published certifications are USDA Organic, Gluten-Free, and Non-GMO — not NSF Certified for Sport or Informed Sport. HS is included as a Featured Vendor for general-population endurance fueling and sports-dietitian-led programs where the sport certification requirement does not apply. Athletes in tested leagues (MLB, NFL, NCAA) should confirm with their team's Sports RD before adding HS to a tested-period fueling plan.
Honey Stinger's core organic and gluten-free SKUs are listed below. Seasonal flavors and kids-line SKUs not shown here may be available direct from Honey Stinger.
The product that put Honey Stinger on the map. Two thin organic wafers sandwich a honey-sweetened center — real food that hits fast, stays with you, and tastes like a treat instead of a task. Ideal 30–45 minutes into a long ride, run, or practice.
Soft fruit chews built on organic tapioca syrup and honey. Easy to portion mid-activity, kind on the gut, and the caffeinated variants deliver a lift without a crash. A go-to alternative when an athlete can't do a full bar or gel.
Honey-based gels for athletes who want fast carbs in a portable pouch. Three formulations — Classic, Caffeinated, and Electrolyte — so the fuel matches the session. Real-food taste that doesn't feel like rocket fuel.
Recovery bars built around 10g of whey protein and ~30% USDA certified organic honey. Not a chalky post-workout obligation — a bar athletes will actually finish. Clean label, real ingredients, and a recovery-carb ratio that fits a dietitian's window.
