- Skratch Labs Hydration Drink Mix, Electrolytes, Variety Pack, 20 Pack | Sports nutrition with real fruit & clean ingredients, electrolytes for fast hydration & endurance, non-GMO, vegan, kosher

We've tried several brands of hydration products and these are our favorite. We're not athletes and we don't hike or climb rocks. We just live at sea level and visit our kids in Colorado a couple times a year. Early on, we learned to hydrate as much as possible to avoid feeling sick from the altitude, and hydration products like this make a huge difference in how we feel. Here's why we like this brand the best: The packets are easy to carry in a pocket or small purse. I used to be a Gatorade or Pedialyte drinker when I needed electrolytes but those are too bulky for traveling, especially when flying. No stevia. Many brands use stevia to sweeten their products but stevia upsets my stomach. It also has a weird aftertaste in my opinion. (Sorry Liquid IV.) This one is sweetened with sugar. No bitterness. Some brands have a bitter aftertaste. (I really wanted to like you, Tailwind.) Mixes completely in a bottle of water. No chunks or grit at the bottom of the bottle. It's invisible. Natural flavors. The orange tastes like an orange. The lemon lime tastes like lemons and limes. We were lucky enough to visit the Skratch Labs Cafe in downtown Boulder, CO where they have premixed hydration water on tap (!! I know.) and our first reaction to trying it was "Wow. I didn't know hydration products could taste so good." If you're trying to drink a lot more water than you're used to, either to just build a better water drinking habit or because you need to replace electrolytes as you rehydrate, try this one. Makes the water go down easier and helps your body use the water more effectively while tasting fantastic.

Tastes great and I love that it has real sugar (not too much though) and not artificial sugars. Blends fast in water, doesn’t upset stomach, and the different flavors are great. Good value compared to other products that don’t taste as good.

These taste great and I love that they don’t have artificial sweetener. I hate the aftertaste of artificial sweetener, and carbs give you energy when you’re sweating and working or playing hard! I really enjoy the flavor variety and how natural these taste. They dissolve well and are not gritty. Big fan!

Delicious. Kids live for soccer water bottle. Way healthier than Gatorade.

After doing some research online about different hydration drinks I really liked the all natural approach of the Skratch brand. I've definitely noticed the difference in how thirsty / drained I was after a long bike ride after switching from standard Gatorade, so that's a huge plus. Taking one star off because the different flavors have almost no taste, I would basically label it a hint of a flavor vs having an actual taste. Think adding a thin slice of lemon, lime, or orange to a tall glass of water level of flavor. Also, more of a personal issue, the resulting mixture is clear. So, if you mix a bottle and come back to it later, you have to take a sip to remember what flavor it is. Assuming this is part of the all natural philosophy, and fine with that, just, there has to be a natural color additive of some sort that could be used.

Flavors are light and refreshing

Cane sugar, natural, and great flavors. It’s a win. Brought on our vacation and will continue to do so. I researched and compared the liquid IV and similar companies. I wanted cane sugar and most natural mix. Super happy with it. Even the kids loved it and ask for it. 5/5 ⭐️

This was recommended to me by a friend, and I found it much easier to drink than other hydration mixes. It doesn’t have that weird aftertaste a lot of them do. The flavor is slightly sweet, but not overly sweet, which I really appreciated. I was pregnant at the time and kept this with me for days when I felt dehydrated, and it honestly saved me every time. I usually prefer pre-mixed drinks over powders, but I liked that this mix lets you sample a variety of flavors. On days when I couldn’t eat much, this gave me a little boost of energy, which helped. Just to be clear, it does not provide pain relief. Overall, it is worth the money. Easy to drink, effective for hydration, and great to have on hand, especially during pregnancy or on low energy days.
