The folks at Honey Stinger might consider slapping a disclaimer on the front of their new Organic Energy Chews. Something like, “WARNING: This ain’t candy.” Because if you don’t know better, you’ll be gobbling up packets of the USDA-certified organic energy boosters like a kid on a Halloween gummy- bear bender. Formulated specifically for health-conscious athletes looking for a tasty energy snack, these fruity, easy-to-eat treats include naturally occurring fiber, protein and carbohydrates derived from organic tapioca syrup and that staple of the Steamboat Springs brand, organic honey. At 160 calories per 1.8-ounce package (MSRP: $1.89), the gluten- and dairy-free chews pack in one gram of protein and another of fiber. There’s also a 100 percent RDA allotment of Vitamin C, evident in the tasty fruit smoothie flavors that include orange blossom, cherry blossom and berry.
