Skip the pop-tarts and have a GU Energy Stroopwafel instead when you're chasing a quick & easy breakfast with your coffee before a workout. They're a delicious alternative to the gels or shakes you've tried to force down before heading out for a training session, yet they still give you that much-needed boost. To put it simply, the Coconut Stroopwafel is a Gluten-Free, Dutch-style syrup waffle which acts like an Energy Gel, but tastes like a breakfast treat. You might even say it's the sports nutrition answer to what to eat for breakfast before training because it provides most of the complex carbohydrates, amino acids and electrolytes you need for all-day, optimum performance during any activity. So, whether it's for a breakfast-on-the-go, an extra enjoyed with coffee before a training run, a pick-me-up during a massive climb, or just to keep at work for days when that afternoon energy slump hits you, the GU Energy Labs Stroopwafel is just the thing to have on hand to keep you fuelled-up and ready-to-go.
Stroopwafel Serving Suggestions:
1. Rest the Stroopwafel on top of a steaming cup of tea or coffee until the syrup begins to melt, then eat
2. Dunk a Stroopwafel directly into your cup of tea or coffee, much like a biscuit
3. Eat as a dry cookie while on-the-go
4. Smear in Peanut Butter and serve with Yoghurt
5. Invent your own method and post the details to our Facebook page
