Skratch Labs Super High Carb Sport Drink Mix, Lemon Lime, 16 Servings

Total gamechanger. I was looking to switch up my on-bike nutrition; I've tried a lot of food that are portable: bananas, rice cakes, gummies, gels, crackers, baguette; this beats all of them in terms of performance and portability. What works the best for me was bananas, however, carrying 5 or 6 of those suckers on a 3 hour ride is not feasible. I wanted something that can be mixed with my hydration but didn't want the overly sweet mixes. I decided to try these super high carb mixes. I've been using a lot of Skratch products (Hydration, Gummies, Energy Bars and Recovery) and trust that it won't give me GI issues based on their simple ingredients. Used this for the first time on my 3 hour ride that I've been trying to beat my best time, knocked it out of the park, discovered my main issue on these rides are essentially running out of usable energy during the ride. Consuming solid food requires time to chew/digest the food. With these - seemed it goes straight to my blood stream. Very weird sensation; usually I will be hungry partway into the ride when consuming solid food, I have to constantly eat on the bike, with these, I still feel hungry, but I don't feel the bonk. Figured what works for me was about 35g/hr and I add one banana 2 hours into the ride to suppress the hunger feels. I intend to push into the 50g/hr and assess my performance. Mixing it was tricky. You'd need time for the powder to dissolve fully, I decided to do the mix in a glass jar the night before; the clumping is frustrating and took time decently mash/disperse the slurry. I left it overnight thinking that I'll add it into my hydration bottle and start shaking it to dissolve it further. To my surprise, everything dissolved the next morning. Trust the process, just give it time. The Lemon Lime flavor taste good to me, kinda like lemonade without the sugar. I'm fine with it. All in all, very happy with this product, it is expensive, but it will be a gamechanger for those race days and high intensity training days.

Used Skratch to load up for a 25K trail run that took me 4:50. Coupled with on-course nutrition and hydration, I had plenty of energy for the nearly 5-hour effort, still running strong (if slowly) at the finish. I will be using Skratch again. The Lemon-Lime flavor was agreeable and not overly strong - a good thing when I was consuming about 200g per day for the 3 days before the race. The only possible negative is that it doesn't mix super easily, and it's really gooey if you spill any. Probably unavoidable, and pales in comparison to its benefits.

This is a great mix! Have used this for multiple 40-50 mile gravel rides and have not bonked yet! It mixes well, the flavor is good, and the price isn’t horrible. Pro tip - mix this in your bottles the night before a ride and you won’t have any grit whatsoever.

Cloyingly sweet at the full 400cal serving, difficult to mix at high concentrations, and unfortunately does not contain potassium (which I learned through cramping 5 hours into an endurance event). That said, being able to drink so many grams of carbs is a game changer! And after starting to do Invisalign treatment, it sure beats removing and dealing with my trays on a hours-long bike ride when trying to eat solid foods. I don’t love this stuff, but it’s the best that I have found and I will absolutely continue to use it for the convenience and relative cost effectiveness compared to gels.

Good stuff. I sucked it down so fast I didn't really even notice that I was taking in calories. Had some before a big hill climb (running) and felt good the whole way to the top. Recommended.

Took this mix on an 80 mile bike ride called the "triple bypass" in Colorado. Had no problems with digestion or cramping. Legs felt great all day. Recovery during effort even seemed a little quicker. Altitude did affect my performance im a Midwestern fella. But this stuff made a difference in my fueling strategy for the day. Would totally buy this flavor again.

Worked great for my husband during his Ironman race! It gave him the energy and endurance he needed without upsetting his stomach, and he felt strong all the way through. The flavor is light and refreshing, not too sweet, which made it easy to drink even over long hours. Definitely a game-changer for endurance events—this will be a staple for future races and training!

I needed something other than chews/gels/candy to keep me going on the longer rides. Seven scoops with 24oz of water and I'm good for at least three hours on the bike. The lemon lime flavor is pretty mild, not overly sweet. The consistency once it is well mixed is not syrup thick but closer to twice the viscosity of a standard Gatorade to me. 100 grams of carbs and 400 calories per seven scoops makes it very convenient to prevent the bonking and I don't feel much leg fatigue at mile 30 with this stuff over regular water or other hydration/fuel brands that I've tried. A bit pricey per bag but it really works keeping you fueled throughout the entire ride.

Ne goûte presque pas sucré et pourtant c’est plein de glucide! J’en prends constamment lors de mes demi marathon, un bon goût de limonade presque un peu salé au contraire. Un bon carburant liquide.

Excellent running fuel. Goes down very well and don't get flavour fatigue. The 'high carb' bit is misleading as basically you just use lots of powder. Still my go-to for ultras. Mild flavour, mixes well and works.

I first tried this product at a race in Windsor. It’s a nice flavour and delivers constant energy without the high and crash. Easy to mix and now a favourite of mine over other mixes I can buy or use previously. You don’t get hand shaking and it’s beyond good for my longest run days too

Geschmack ist dezent,nicht aufdringlich oder schlimm künstlich. Magenverträglichkeit bei mir gut trotz des hohen Kohlenhydratanteils. Diesen finde ich praktisch,da ich unter Belastung lieber trinke als esse. Nachteilig ist die schlechte Auflösbarkeit im Wasser,das dauert sehr lange, und der doch hohe Preis,daher einen Stern weniger.
