Having tried pretty much every Sports Drink on the market I have found this to be the best one by far - developed by Allen Lim for the Garmin Professional Cycling Team. Right combination of sugars, great selection of flavours (not overpowering) and stays palatable even after getting warm during a 5 hour Ironman bike ride. Don't leave home without it!!!
Cost a bit more than others but the taste is great, the only lemon/lime I will drink. Raspberry is good too. Very light taset and great lytes mix.
I've tried a bunch of electrolyte mixes and-to my tongue-most of them taste like chemicals. All I taste is weird aftertaste and I don't like it. I've tried all the Skratch flavors and THEY ALL TASTE GOOD. No weird aftertaste, not too sweet, just a nice pleasant slightly fruity flavor that's not overwhelming.
This hydration mix has been in my bottles for the past 2 years or more. The flavors are GREAT and combining flavors raises the bar higher! Using this mix has eliminated cramping on rides and not one experience of stomach issues. Avoid the sugars and go natural, you'll love Skratch!
Not too sweet, tastes good and seems to do the job very well. I use at about 2/3 strength. No problem digesting
I use it while cycling. I prefer it to PowerAde and GatorAde as it's not sooo sweet and is far easier on the tummy.
Ill be honest, I alternate between Gu powder and Skratch- caffeine, solid replacementenergy and value vs nature. Skratch is like sipping nature from a Polar insulated bottle. Come on Skratch, just sponsor me so I can drink nature all the time. (None of the abovementioned products endorse RoboKrause at this time)
This is a healthier alternative to some of the other hydration drinks. The pineapple tastes the best to me.
All you need for those long days in the saddle.

Have this on the bike all summer. Love the neutral taste and never gives me gut rot.
I've been using Skratch Lab's products for years. Their hydration mix is simple with just the necessary electrolytes you need, a small bit of natural sugars for flavor and nothing else. No food coloring or any un-natural products are ever added. You can even see the tiny particles of the dried and ground up real fruit. But don't worry it all dissolves easily in your bottles and doesn't leave too much of a sugary mess on your bike like some other products can. It's very lightly flavored and just the right amount which makes you want to drink more because it tastes so good. I'll even find myself drinking it at home when you get that water tastes nasty to me right now feeling.
I use Skratch for long runs, it tastes great without being too overpowering.
Excellent. Oranges, passion fruit, lemon matcha. All very good. Oranges is the lightest flavor of the ones i have tried. Use recomended dossage. Matcha and passion fruit, i use about 30% less dossage. Personally, i dont want any after taste or sugarmouth after each swig. Love, love, this stuff. My wife now uses it for hot yoga. Its going fast, need to hide it!
Going to order more, lemons and limes?
This is my first try with Scratch Labs mix, I like the flavor and no bad guy issues with this. The packaging is also nice when you like to travel with bulk mixes. The size and resealing makes it nice to transport to rides at races.
Taste good and no tummy upset.
Strawberry is now my favorite. Works well to control my leg cramps.
I've tried a number of hydration products, but Skratch is the best. I like the lemon matcha mix, which has a little caffeine and a light, refreshing flavor. Doesn't taste gross when it gets warm! I'd say the only downside is that it's powder form, so you can't just pack a tab or two for long rides, but you can measure it out and carry it in something else. No upset stomach or anything. My wife loves it, too, and drinks it when she works out.
After trying about everything over the past (many) years, I found this several years ago and love it. Simply put, I take one drink of this and immediately take another as it tastes very good without a sugary sweet taste. Orange is my flavor of choice with the lemon-lime second.
If looking for a hydration mix, you really should try this!
I love this product! It keeps me hydrated and helps keep me fresh. The flavor is awesome ( I make mine slightly stronger than recommended). I think a buck a serving is steep but there are few alternatives and their pricing is no better. I ride a couple hundred miles a week and couldn't do it without Skratch.
