poll Simple question: what is your preferred high carb drink mix?

Homemade recipe here: [image] Make SIS BETA fuel yourself just a few pence per bottle Nutrition Success! I did Augusta +1 this morning using my first homemade mix. Recipe and costs are below, with links. [malto] 1/2 cup (60g) Maltodextrin $24.50 for 57 servings [fru…

I quite like SIS but here in the UK I find High 5 offers more bang for buck, their Lemon with Caffeine powder is my favourite. I could do with drinking more though but thats a generic thing and nothing to do with a specific drink; a whole bottle will disappear on trainer, whilst often outdoors half…

Flow Formulas works great for me. Good taste, goes into solution pretty easily, and easy on the stomach. I’ve tried the Skratch High Carb in the past because I’ve always liked their stuff, but it was always a pain for me to get into solution.

+1 for Flow Formulas. I really prefer the taste compared to other brands (Never Second, GU, Tailwind).

for 150g in a 750 ml bottle… 50g Fructose 100g Maltodextrin (from tapioca) 5g sodium citrate 2-3g instant Black Tea powder

Put geluminati in the list. Best value for ready made mix

STYRKR here in the UK. 90g carbs + electrolytes. Not as sweet as BetaFuel and mixes better.

I do Malto:Fructose @ 2:1 with an electrolyte tab. I adjust the dosage based on length and intensity.

Regular sugar with electrolyte tab (with or without caffein) based on length and intensity.
