Which sports drink has the least amount of sugar?

Miller Lite. I mostly use this as a recovery drink.

Water?

Do you mean simple sugars, or carbs?

If simple sugars, try Hammer HEED. All complex carbs I think. You can always get powdered anything (e.g. gatorade) and mix it less strong than indicated on the package.

Based on taste alone, I would guess Nuun or Heed. Both are light tasting, not super sweet like gatorade.

With InfinIT you can choose how much (or little) sugar you want.

All of the Hammer Nutrition products are simple sugar free. HammerGel, HEED, Sustained Energy, Perpetuem.

Hammer nutrition products are the only ones I can take without stomach distress. I still have to burp after gulping. Heed, sustained energy, and gel. On the run, I can’t take anything but water.

I’m just guessing that is why you don’t want sugar. If I could handle gatorade, I’d prefer that since it is always on the course.

carbo pro is all maltodextrin with more than 50 sugar units per molecule.

Cytomax’s Low Glycemic Index powder is my drink of choice for long rides. Rather limited flavours - Raspberry Iced Tea and Lemon Iced Tea (I think) but very good.
