For workouts over an hour, I used to get ‘sugar belly’ with anything other than skratch labs. Once I started using skratch labs drink mix, I was delighted at how much better I felt deep into long workouts. I buy fruit punch in the 60 serving size bags. It’s economical and I never get sick of the flavor which is very subtle.

I have been using the hydration sport drink mixes (lemon/lime and strawberry/lemonade) for years now. Mostly when I ride my bike, but also when I'm working around the house, traveling, or whenever I know I need more than water to hydrate. I've never had cramps after rides, even in hotter weather when drinking a bottle full of the mix. It is very easy on my stomach and blends just fine with energy chews and gels. Great stuff!

Not overly sweet and not "sticky" like other hydration drinks that start with the letter "G".

These are the best tasting sports drinks I've found for cycling. I haven't tried every flavor yet, but I haven't found a bad one.

The strawberry lemonade tastes great. Mixes easily. It's also nice that there are no funky colors -- the mixed drink is basically clear.

I'm a swimmer, and any swimmer will tell you how horrible water tastes between sets. Skratch hits the spot for a quick sip before pushing off the wall. Not too sweet and not too overpowering.

Skratch Hydration Sport Drink Mix has become my go-to hydration drink with carbohydrates for mountain biking. It tastes great, is easy to digest, and keeps me from dehydrating. Every flavor is great, and I love the options with caffeine as well.

True story: I was bicycling the Empire State Trail with my fully loaded bike in 99 degree heat. IMy energy was dropping and I felt like I was pedaling through mud. I stopped and pulled out a single serving packet of Strawberry-Lemonade (my fave!) and poured it into one of my botttles. I guzzled it down, got back on my bike and it was like the temperature had dropped 15 degrees. It hadn't but I was pedaling with ease. Skratch Labs really did the trick.

This one’s hard as it taste great but is a sweeter flavor and I have a salty palette. Still hits well for when I’m sweating up a storm

Easy to mix and use on bike rides. Not my favorite flavor, but that’s an individual preference.
