... powdered Gatorade?

Wally World doesn't carry it... Nor do any of the local grocery stores (Kroger, Randalls/Safeway, HEB)

Any ideas? health food stores?

Sam's Club, Costco, Publix, Piggly Wiggly . . . lots of places carry powdered Gatorade. Call around. Stores will often order it or stock it if you ask.

Also, stores often stock it in different aisles depending . . . with soft drinks or fruit juices or with powdered chocolate drinks and lemonades. I've only seen it in large grocery stores and chains, rarely in health food stores.

Hi,
Gatorade is the bottom of the sports drink heap. It's like buying
a Chevy Citation. If it's not available, say thank you, and get something better.

I forgot to mention that part . . . Gatorade isn't the best drink. I stick with water or I drink Propel (made by Gatorade) if I have to drink something 'soda-like.'

I get mine at Walmart. Its the only place that has powered Glacier Freeze in a large can. The warehouse clubs only carry Lemon-Lime.

At the risk of being accused of driving A Chevy Citation, I bought some at Randall's 2 days ago. If your store doesn't have it, ask the store manager, they obviously can get it.

I prefer a Rolls Royce myself! lol
If you want something better, I use Lowoz.
It comes in powder packets that you mix with water (filtered preferrably).
This stuff works in minutes and tastes preety good.
For those of you that care what you put into your body, LowOz is the only electrolyte replenishing sports drink in North America that is certified by the International Olympic Committee to be free of AAS.
But, you can't get it in a store. Only through a 1-800 # or online.
If interested, email me.

Adios,
LaChica

I've been wondering when the endurance formula will be available in powder form at Target or Wal-Mart. They sell it on the gatorade website, but i'm not doing that.

Ask the manager at Kroger and they'll start carrying it for you.

Gatorade isn't the best, but it is very cheap (from powder) and for most recreational cyclists it is good enough. Some people cannot digest it full strength, but that applies to all sports drinks. Those people should try other brands and use whatever works best for them.
