How We Use It
The Stroopwafel has become a part of our morning ritual before we head out to train. We like to warm them up in the microwave or dunk them in our morning cup of coffee for a tasty way to fuel for a morning session. They contain easily digestible fuel that doesn’t cause stomach upset, so they can be consumed as close as 60 minutes before exercise. You can also carry them with you for an energy boost during a long ride or run!
