When I ran cross country, we had Powerade available in the dining hall drink machines? I would drink Powerade at breakfast and supper, which came just after our morning and evening practices, and I would drink Gatorade at other times of the day. I tried using the Powerade for rehydration, but I found that Gatorade worked a whole lot better. The Powerade had a poor taste and did not always sit well in my stomach. The Gatorade tasted better and didn't give me stomach cramps when running. The Powerade also did not give the rehydration benefits that I was hoping for. Even after using it extensively, I did not see a noticeable improvement in my hydration. But when I switched to just Gatorade, I found that I stayed hydrated much better. Overall, I like Coca-Cola products for soda, but I will not use Powerade any more when I am working out. It just did not work very well for me.

This is such an awesome alternative to sugary drinks and tastes great too. My son is a runner, and although water would be fine, these sports drinks deliver so many more benefits than plain water. First, they taste great, and for a teenager that's a big issue. Second, they come in many flavors, from orange, to strawberry, to lime. Another added benefit is they replace electrolytes lost from exercising, and this is essential for runners and other athletes. The price is awesome also, considering its a name brand sports drink, they only run around .88 a bottle, and can also be purchased in larger packs, even cases at warehouse stores. One last perk of this product is that it is made by Coke, so each bottle cap has a redeemable code for points. My only drawback is that as of now the bottles are non-recyclable, perhaps that will change in the future. I highly recommend this drink for all athletes, or for a refreshing pick me up in the summer too!

I am not a huge fan of any flavor Powerade. It is full of chemicals, high fructose corn syrup and lots of things I can't pronounce. There are many good products out there to restore your electrolytes, but Powerade is NOT a good choice. It would be better to drink plain water than to drink this chemical concoction. Your body doesn't need all those chemicals or high fructose corn syrup, or artificial sweeteners to replenish electrolytes. I think the artificial sweeteners and all the chemicals in this drink actually make you feel thirstier. It Is not as thirst quenching as plain old water. Water is free. Powerade is very expensive and not worth the money spent on it. If you are looking for a way to replace electrolytes and rehydrate after a workout, or when it is hot outside, there are many other choices on the market that are more natural and will taste better and do a far better job of rehydrating you.

When I buy flavored water drinks in bottles, I always buy Powerades. They are reasonably priced, come in quite a large size single bottle, and there are a variety of flavors to choose from. They also have zero calorie options as well. My favorites are the strawberry and orange. Every time my children come to visit, I give them each one of these, and they love them. I also like that there are codes inside the cap to enter to earn and win things online. I get a free PowerAde every few months by doing this.

These are so yummy! Ive tried almost all the flavors and I love them. After I workout and I am dying for something to drink I always want one of these. They dont have a 'diet' or 'zero' taste like most similar products do. I love that they are zero calories, because the last thing I want to do after an intense workout is waste it all on a sugar filled drink.

I must say that I am a POWERADE girl and not a Gatorade one. What I like about POWERADE Glacier Ice is the taste. It is extremely refreshing and tastes a lot less watery than Gatorade. The sugar in it doesn't taste fake, and it also doesn't have a ton of calories. It gives a great amount of energy and it's a great option before, after, or during working out!

Powerade Zero is a fantastic and delicious way to stay hydrated, without consuming a lot of calories. Powerade Zero has many great tasting flavors and comes in a variety of sizes. I prefer to purchase the 32 ounce bottles, as one can last a day or two. Also, a Coca Cola brand, Powerade Zero has My Coke Rewards codes on each of their caps, which helps you earn points for great prizes! I drink Powerade Zero throughout the day, especially at night when I wake up thirsty from the dry air of the heat system. Also, Powerade Zero is a great drink to keep handy at the gym and also in the car. I always keep a bottle of Powerade Zero close by at all times, as I never know when I will need a little rehydration in my life! Powerade Zero is one of my favorite beverages and is my drink of choice when walking into a convenient store! I would choose Powerade Zero over soda or water any day, because of the great flavor, zero calories, and brand!

PowerAde drinks are great. They come in several flavors and are reasonably priced. They are part of the coca cola points program and eligible for free coupons. What I like is that the major retailers all sell them at a reasonable price compared to other bottled water products. It helps that they have them in zero calorie flavors, too!

Powerade has been trusted over many years to provide you with essential hydration, vitamins, and minerals needed to empower you to do your best in any activity. From sports to exercise to housework, people everywhere incorporate Powerade into their daily lives. And why wouldn't they? It's better for you than many other drinks, and delicious as well!

The reason I first tried Powerade zero sports drinks is because of the fact that each one has zero calories. I'm currently on a healthy diet and workout routine. I do love food though (haha) so I welcome any way to cut a few extra calories. I was pleasantly surprised at the taste. I drink Powerade zero twice a day. Once with a meal and once after my workout. I like it best after my workout because it quenches my thirst and replenishes any minerals I may have lost during my workout, I would recommend if you are looking for a sports drink, a zero calorie drink, or just a drink that tastes good.
