This post about natural sports drinks is sponsored by Sverve and Bodyarmor. We have a rule in our house that you have to be active for at least 1 hour in sports before we will let you drink a sports drinks. If you look at some of the labels you can not pronounce some of the ingredients. (obviously this does not hold true with a sick child) . Now there is all this hype about coconut water, but to be honest I can’t drink very much of that. What are the choices for when you really do need the supplements of a sports drink when water is not enough. Trust me, my hands start shaking in tennis after 45 minutes of a match or intense practice.
Our family was thrileed when we were introduced to BodyArmour SuperDrinks. Not only do they come in 6 delicious all-natural flavors, but they have all the benefits of a sports drink but is a healthier alternative to traditional sports drinks. It is high in Vitamins, especially the B vitamins, low in sodium, and sweetened with Pure Cane Sugar.
As far as electrolyte, it has more than the leading sports drink. It contains 10% coconut water, no caffeine, no artificial colors or preservatives, Gluten free drink . The second ingredient is pure cane sugar and each bottle is 2 servings or 140 calories for an entire bottle. I will have to check other drinks to see how they compare.
While water is still our number one choice for both our kids and adults during sports we won’t think too hard before reaching for one of these BodyArmour Super Drinks. They were not too sweet and do not leave any sort of after taste.
What are your thoughts on Natural Sports Drinks?
These sound like they are better than other brands. I will make sure I check them out.
These sound great. I like healthy sports drinks.
Love having the more natural option!
All natural is definitely a plus in my book! I usually don’t even buy sports drinks because I don’t like the ingredients. Good to know, as I’m training for a half marathon and need to stay hydrated!
Where was this product when I was guzzling Powerade during soccer games years ago?!
I’ll have to look out for these! We’re doing tons of hiking with scouts coming up.
I am not familiar with sports drinks, but this seems like a good one.
I’ll haev to try these out!
These sound like something my husband would drink! He’s really into sports drinks, I’ll have to ask him if he’s tried them!
Thanks for sharing this. My daughter will be starting basketball soon and we’ll be needing lots of these!
I have never heard of these… I drink sports drinks often, as does Hubby, so we will have to check these out
Good to know these are natural. I’m going to have to check them out next time I’m the grocery store.
Sports drinks are so great for those high-exertion activities (hiking, biking, and all those other outdoor activities)! This one looks like a great option. Thanks for sharing!
My daughter drinks a lot of sports drinks because it’s hard for her to stay hydrated. This sounds like a great option for her.
These sound great! Very refreshing especially in our Florida heat!
I swear by Gatorade – especially when I have a migraine or after an intense workout – but I have often wondered about natural products. I need to look into these. It’s the first I’m hearing about them. – Katy
I would love to see more natural sport drinks on the market than all these packed full of sugars and false claims. I’ll have to keep my eye out for these as I’m sure my football player would love to try them.
This is exactly what we need for Basketball! The boys get all kinds of hot, sweaty and THIRSTY!
These would be great for the boys sports. We always prefer them to drink water but during the games they like something with a little more edge.
My husband loves sports drinks. I need to tell him about these.
