Drinks & drink mixes: your questions answered

How do I use electrolyte drink mixes?
Most come as single-serve sticks or tubs to stir into water. Follow the pack for how much water to use, as the taste and strength change with dilution. Check the sodium and sugar content per serving on the label, which varies widely between brands. Zero-sugar mixes, like LMNT's, tend to taste noticeably salty. Shake or stir well, and serve chilled if you prefer.
What should I check on caffeinated drink mixes?
Check the caffeine per serving on the label and count it alongside any coffee, tea or other caffeinated drinks you have that day. High-caffeine products, such as some G FUEL mixes, usually carry warnings that they aren't recommended for children or during pregnancy or breastfeeding, so read the label carefully. Stick to the serving size, and avoid them late in the day if caffeine affects your sleep.
How do I store drink mixes once opened?
Reseal tubs and pouches tightly after each use and keep them in a cool, dry cupboard, as moisture can make powder clump. Use a dry scoop or spoon. Single-serve sticks, such as Liquid I.V.'s, are handy for bags and travel. Once opened, ready-to-drink bottles and juices should be kept in the fridge and used within the time shown on the label.
