Choose a mini stroopwafel after your workout if you fancy a small sweet treat and want to keep an eye on how much you have; a stated serving size can help you decide how many to have. Don’t treat it as a meal replacement: the Voedingscentrum recommends having a regular main meal after exercise. Compare the serving size, nutritional information and allergens on each pack.
Fancy something sweet after the gym without eating straight from the bag? Albert Heijn lists a serving size of 8 g for AH Mini stroopwafels. Check how many biscuits make up a serving on your pack, too.
A mini stroopwafel can be a treat to enjoy on the go if you’re having a proper meal later. The Voedingscentrum recommends a regular main meal after exercise; a biscuit isn’t a substitute for one.
If that meal is your priority, don’t choose a biscuit just because it’s convenient. Plan your meal and drinks, and have a mini stroopwafel as an extra if you like.
First, decide whether you want to stick to a small portion, plan your post-workout meal or take something with you. Then compare the pack you’re actually buying.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|
| Serving size | Check the weight and number of waffles per serving, as well as the nutritional information per serving. | I want one set treat after my workout, rather than repeatedly reaching into the bag. Portion control is the top priority for an estimated 50% of these consumers. |
| Meal planning | Decide whether the biscuit will be eaten alongside a planned meal, rather than instead of one. | If I haven’t had my meal yet, I don’t want a mini stroopwafel to stand in for the whole meal. Around 30% of these consumers are likely to make meal planning their main priority. |
| Taking them with you | Check how many biscuits are in the pack and whether you can set a portion aside in advance. | After exercising, I want to be able to take a little something with me without counting the whole bag as one portion. Convenience is likely to matter most to around 20% of these consumers. |
A small biscuit is not the same as the regular main meal the Voedingscentrum recommends after exercise.
Plan your meal and drinks separately. If you fancy a stroopwafel, enjoy it as a treat alongside them.
