I’m not eating and I need to keep my electrolytes up. I’ve been trying different drinks and there pretty much all awful. The best I’ve had so far is pineapple coconut water. The worst is Powerade Zero fruit punch.

It seems like whatever stuff they put in there in these drinks is the problem because many of them have this horrible bitter taste they try to hide with flavoring.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

And yes, I know Brawndo has electrolytes. Very droll.

Tbh I made my own as a means of adding extra Potassium to my diet. i.e potassium bicarbonate, citric acid and my flavoring of choice (one was cherry and the other was mango)

Gatorade Lemon Ice.

Pretty sure they don’t make it anymore. Unless it was discontinued and then recontinued.

I last bought it ~25 years ago…

Pokari Sweat.

I survived on that stuff when I did a one week Kebdo training camp in Japan. It’s fantastic!

OK so lots of comments about healthy alternatives and such… but you asked what taste best, well to me that’s the Gatorade glacier cherry. I buy the individual powder packs and mix my own, and I get the zero sugar one, but imo that’s the best flavor.

I just got that yesterday to try since I’m trying everything in the store. It’s not as terrible as a lot of the others. I can’t say I love it, but I’ll drink it.
