PRODUCT OF THE YEAR
CATEGORY: Health & Wellness
COMPANY NAME: Honey Stinger
PRODUCT: Organic Energy Chews Fruit Smoothie
Chewable energy gummies are nothing new in the supplement market, but finding a truly organic one like Honey Stinger’s, is. Their most popular flavour, Fruit Smoothie, includes real cherry, orange and berry, and is sweetened using organic honey and tapioca syrup rather than sugars made in a lab.
In fact, 95 per cent of the ingredients are USDA-certified. And why honey? Well the reasons are many, among them deep company roots in beekeeping. The wholesome golden liquid provides a natural form of energy and source of antioxidants.
A little more on the history of the Steamboat Springs, Colorado-based business: originally founded in 1954 as ENR-G Foods by Ralph and Luella Gamber (“EN” for energy, “R” for Ralph and “G” for Gamber), one of their first products was a two-ounce packet of honey popular with collegiate wrestlers. EN-R-G was reestablished in 2001 under its new name, Honey Stinger. Recommended for use before, during and after physical activity — examples on the packaging cite weightlifting, surfing, running, bull riding and wood chopping as examples — simply tear the easy-open top or bottom of the packet and pop a couple of the yummy chews when warming up, on the go or cooling down.
Consumers will notice that unlike many competitors, Honey Stingers aren’t sticky to the touch (no syrupy fingers!) or overly sweet, but most importantly, taste great without any artificial aftertaste. And they’re gluten, nut, soy and dairy free for everyone to enjoy.
Other than Fruit Smoothie, there are several other flavours such as Strawberry, Pomegranate Passionfruit, Cherry Blossom Pink Lemonade, and for a little bit of an extra kick, Caffeinated Cherry Cola containing 32 milligrams of caffeine from white tea. Visit honeystinger.com for more information. ◆
