I do my workouts with water and my long runs & rides with water and Endurolytes. But I’d like the option of something with some flavor to change things up. (I tried a couple of swigs of Orange Gatorade at IM LOU on Sunday and damn near gagged - that stuff is so sweet.)
Are there pills or tables to add flavor to water without the sugar? I know companies like Nuun have stuff that add flavor and electrolytes but I’ve got the electrolytes covered - I’m just looking for a flavor option.
Thanks!
Mio, amongst others, makes drops you add to water. You control the strength by the number of drops you add to your water. They are readily available and not too expensive.
I would add barley malt, yeast, and hops. But you have to let it sit for a couple weeks first. Make sure your bottles are nice and clean. Makes amazing flavored water!
That’s more of a recovery beverage

^^^^^This.
Just go to where your local grocery has the powdered drink mixes. There’s MIO and lots of similar brands. Crystal Light also makes single serving powder packets. Some of these add electrolytes, some caffeine, some just flavor. Lots of choices.
Look into Nuun. Or Airborne. Both are very low sugar effervescent tablets that taste good and provide a decent amount of electrolytes/minerals/vitamins.
Swap out the endurolytes for the Endurolytes Fizz. They’re like little alka seltzer tablets for your water that have electrolytes. They’re tasty and not overly sweet. Lemon lime is my favorite. You can add one or more tabs depending on how concentrated you want it to be.
