Hi,
I bought the rap about protein in your sports drink, but I think Accelerade tastes like puke. Is there anything else out there, or another way to get protein in fluid form during a workout? That is, without mixing some other puke-tasting powder into my water.
Thanks!
We mix accelerade and gatorade endurance. Improves taste but of course less protein.
You can get a custom InfinIT mix with protein.
I agree with you on the taste of Accelerade. Bought a canister to try out…yuck!
InfinIT
No question
.
I agree, InfinIT!
But to round out the menu, Hammer Sustained Energy and Perpetuem also have protein.
LOL–you crack me up!
just say no to puke; use Infinit!

InfinIT—how does it compare in price
.
For me, it is the same since I don’t have to pay shipping (made right down the street from my house of all things! Found out after ordering my first batch and paying shipping then seeing the address, doh!)
I’m not sure on the accerade pricing, but I’d say InfinIT is about the same. Actually, I’m surprised it doesn’t cost more since it can be custom ordered for all their customers.
When I calculated it out (large jug) vs. buying Gatorade Endurance Formula it was about the same. Factor in electrolyte tabs of your choice, and I think it is actually cheaper in the long run. You do have to learn to “trust” it though as it seems odd just drinking and that is it. Most triathletes are so used to pills, water, carbs, gels, etc.
Powerbars system… LOVE the sun tea!!!
No I am not sponsored by them… just love the bars, gels and drink

Accelerade fruit punch is actually pretty good!
Gatorade and water

I tried the new Accelerade in a bottle and, well, it sucks pretty damn bad. I’ve been using Gtorade endurance and/or Carbo (longer events) unti I find something else. Might need to give Infinit a look as some point.
Accelerad Rocks!!! The lemon lime tastes like crap to me but all the other flavors rock! I have been drinking cytomax this month and I miss my accelerade badly!! Send me the rest of yours!!
Yes, it is nasty shit. It gets even worse when it gets warm and Fruit Punch is the worst. Mixing it strong, weak or with other stuff simply doesn’t work for me.
I switched to EFS (First Endurance) which is a “lite lemon/lime” and find it refreshing and easy to consume. Instead of protein to promote absorbtion of carbs they use Amino Acids which does the same. I like it.
I have found that with Accelerade the flavor you choose and whether it is the powder or the bottled ones can make big differences. The Lemonade powder is really good. Hard to find, b/c it’s new. The bottled has different flavors and it is different texture, I guess is the word. The Citrus pre-mixed bottle is good. These are new, too.
As for amino acids working the same as protein, I have not seen that in any studies or experienced that myself. Would love to see the research on that, if anyone knows where it is posted, please share.
I swear by CarboPro mixed with Hammer Heed. It’s much easier to consume, especially when warm. I use a concentrate bottle to get me through the bulk of the ride. Two flasks on the run.
I agree with your assessment of accelerade. Better to ditch the protein IMO. Have some protein after you work out, or before. BIGZACH eats tuna straight from the can before run workouts…
Yeah…you’ve got to try the other flavors…Orange, Yum…Fruit punch…Not so good. (At least for me)
Have you tried their gels? Chocolate and Vanilla are the bomb!
X2, Orange is GOOD, Fruit Punch is bad.
the strawberry kiwi gel tastes really good. just like strawberry yogurt.
