Home Made Isotonic Drinks
How many of you make your own Isotonic drinks during the hot weather, or do you just go and use the likes of Isostar, Powerbar etc?
For the ones who make there own, what do you use? Some sugar and pinch of salt? or just some sugar? |

Re: Home Made Isotonic Drinks
1st Post so here goes
 Here's a few links with excellent home made food/drink recipe's I've found on the net. HOMEMADE SNACK RECIPES AND IDEAS @ cptips.com Homemade Power Bars and Sports Drinks @ blutech.com IMO if your not riding more than a few hours I would say just normal bottled water would suffice |

We have had a lot of success with diluting fruit juice, however, here in Australia we have a brand of apple juice which naturally contains 13% sugar and we dilute this 50/50 with water to give us a 6.5% sugar concentration. We haven't actually tried adding salt to the juice but I guess if you have a fruit juice which is 6-8% sugar or can be diluted to that level, you could try adding salt and see how it tastes. |
