Sugar-free sports drink?

Sep 07, 2006 00:36

Is there anything like a sugar-free version of Gatorade or Powerade or something like that? My doctor told me to drink Gatorade when I had an upset stomach, but it has something like 45 grams of sugar per bottle. I checked out TaB energy drink but it's loaded with caffeine and I don't want that right before I go to bed.

Powerade makes a low(no?) carb version called "Powerade Options"... it tastes pretty good, if you go for that stuff...

I second Propel and powerade option. They both have about 2gm carbs per serving, but that's very close to no-carb. My favorite is the Powerade Option Black Cherry.

Crystal Lite has a couple of new ones like the sunrise that taste great but don't have anything in them

Propel now makes a powder you can put into water to mix it yourself
More expensive but I have found it is nice to have when you are out and want a refill of something other than water

I also use some green tea powdered mixes for portability

At the ren faire, a couple of groups I know use pedialyte mixed with crystal light. better flavor and more electrolytes. Pedialyte has 2.5% carbs and 45g mEq/L.

Greetings.

I used to work at RPFS, Renaissance Pleasure Faire Southern, in Southern California. The Grandaddy of them all. I worked for 7 years after having grown up a patron practically all my life. Now, hopefull, I will be able to get into a faire family here in las vegas, NV.

We would drink a mix of Pedialyte, no flavor, mixed in our crystal light all day and it kept a lot of the problems down.
