HNY+ Energy Gel Review

I have a sensitive stomach and have been searching for an affordable gel with naturally derived ingredients that isn't too sweet. This one caught my eye because it is all natural, is a fair price ($3/gel), and is sweet and salty. 

I have found honey-based gels too sweet in the past, but this one was a good balance of sweet and salty. I will admit that it was still a bit sweet for my taste, but tasted less sweet and better overall than Honey Stinger. It had a quick energy release and I didn't have any stomach trouble. 

I probably wouldn't eat a second one on a long run because the flavor was a strong honey flavor and it would likely have been too much for my stomach. But for a one-gel six-mile run, I found this one great.
