GU Energy Labs GU Energy Stroopwafel

Frequently asked questions

What is a stroopwafel in endurance terms?

A stroopwafel is a Dutch caramel-filled waffle. The GU version is a portable solid fuel. It is a chewable option in place of a gel. It suits runs and rides where you can chew.

Where is GU Stroopwafel stocked in the UK?

Amazon UK lists it. That is the listed retailer. GU is a US endurance brand. So UK stock is patchier than for British brands.

What does Informed Choice certification add over an uncertified fuel?

The brand sends in batches. Those are tested against the WADA banned list. The cadence is less often than Informed Sport's every-batch test. So for elite tested athletes, Informed Sport-tier picks are the stronger signal.

How does it compare to a gel for energy density?

A stroopwafel sits between a gel and a bar in carbs per gram. Some athletes like the texture. Others stick to gels as they are quicker to take. We list both forms.

Is GU Stroopwafel vegan?

Some GU goods are vegan. Others are not. The recipe varies by flavour. Check the ingredients on the live Amazon listing before you buy.
