In addition to making a range of energy snacks that take the form of gels, chews and drinks, GU Energy is introducing the 'Gu Energy Stroopwafel.'
A stroopwafel is traditional waffle snack that is made up of two layers of thinly baked dough with a sweet syrup at their center. Although it is typically only consumed for the purposes of satiating one's sweet tooth, GU Energy is transforming the indulgent confection into an energizing treat with three fun flavors: Hot Chocolate, Gingerade and gluten-free Coconut.
The GU Energy Stroopwafel promises to deliver all of the required nutrients for training and physical pursuits, with a focus on delivering both quick-release and long-lasting energy from complex and simple carbohydrates. These portable snacks are individually packed for on-the-go convenience.
