Product Review: Powerade Zero

It’s happened! It’s finally happened! A sports drink without the loads of sugar and high fructose corn syrup. Simply put, it’s calorie-free and it’s a great complement to your workout regimen.

I used to feel guilty drinking regular sports drinks while working out because I knew I was putting back obscene amounts of sugar and calories back into my body. Well, our friends at Powerade (a.k.a. the Coca-Cola Company) have developed a drink that tastes just as good, but doesn’t have all of the unnecessary additives. Powerade Zero is available in Grape, Mixed Berry, or Strawberry and contains 25% of your daily recommended allowance of vitamins B-12 and B-6 per 20 ounce bottle. It also contains vital electrolyes potassium and sodium in each serving.

Powerade Zero may be on the sweet side in terms of taste for some people, but that’s because it’s sweetened with sucralose (Splenda). Just remember, there’s no calories!

So throw one back before, after, or during your workout to replenish those electrolytes. This drink is definitely a knockout!

That’s really great to hear so many amazing stories. Weight loss creates problems. However, it can be controlled by proper diet, exercises and healthy habits. There is no alternative like working out. You can check out http://www.onesteptofitness.com/video-wl/ for more information.

I have been drinking this for a couple of weeks now and I have to say it’s really nice to be able to drink something that doesn’t have tons of calories in it besides just water. I drink at least two liters of water each day so it’s nice to have another beverage to drink without feeling guilty.

I tried the grape today and compared to regular Powerade it is very sweet. In fact it’s too sweet. I have found that a lot of the zero-calorie drinks that use sucralose are too sweet as if they over-do it a bit. Never been a fan of the bright blue drinks and that’s why I went for the grape. All I can say is they need to tone down a bit on the sucralose.

People are afraid of the future, of the unknown. If a man faces up to it, and takes the dare of the future, he can have some control over his destiny. That’s an exciting idea to me, better than waiting with everybody else to see what’s going to happen.

To choose the right perfume for one woman isn’t so easy and quickly. There are a lot of rules you have to observe. Women are so different one another that you have to realize some things. You have to pay attention for her personality and which flavor is best for her. There are thousands of variously fragrances and if you want to select the perfect scent, it can take up your time.

Water is what i use but sometimes i use a sports drink after a long work out

Yikes! I love regular Powerade but can’t stand Powerade ZERO! I have a weird dislike of the “splenda” taste.. I can taste it in ANYTHING! I wish they could sweeten with something other than Splenda, because I don’t want all the sugar in the regular Powerade, but I really can’t do Splenda either.
