When you're spending hours on the trails, getting enough carbohydrates is an important part of maintaining energy and performance.

The GU Energy Stroopwafel offers a convenient way to add carbohydrate fuel to your nutrition plan while enjoying the familiar taste and texture of a sweet snack.

Unlike traditional energy gels, stroopwafels provide a solid-food option that can be particularly appealing during long training runs, ultra-marathons, cycling adventures and extended hikes.

They're also a useful addition to your nutrition rotation when you want a change from gels, chews or sports drinks.

For athletes building a long-distance fuelling strategy, GU Energy Stroopwafels can be combined with other carbohydrate sources to help meet individual energy requirements.

How to Use GU Energy Stroopwafels

Enjoy a GU Energy Stroopwafel before exercise or during longer activities as part of your individual fuelling plan.

For endurance events, carbohydrate requirements vary depending on exercise intensity, duration and individual tolerance. Many athletes aim for approximately 30–60g of carbohydrate per hour, with higher intakes possible during prolonged exercise when appropriately trained.

A GU Energy Stroopwafel can contribute approximately 19–21g towards that target.

For easier eating, take smaller bites during lower-intensity sections of your run or ride and drink water as needed.

Tribe&Trail Tip: Practise your nutrition strategy during training rather than trying new foods for the first time on race day. Stroopwafels can be particularly useful when you want a break from gels during longer adventures.
