Homemade Accelerade
Yeah it rhymes.
I took some orange gatorade and some cheap orange-flavored whey protein (just a small amount) and mixed it and it seems to perform just as well on rides. Warning: it tastes the same, which I think is absolutely horrible. Just thought id share. Real accelerade is pretty expensive.
That is all.

Doesn't Accelerade also have an acid buffer? Like sodium bicarb or potassium citrate?

How about:
2 parts Gatorade
1 part ground up cooked hamburger meat
1 part ground up chalk
This would probably taste better too.

Gatorade has HFCS. 
I thought for sure I read somewhere that soy protein is best used during exercise and whey protein after exercise. If so, why is Accelerade using whey?

You forgot to filter it through a dirty pair socks to make sure it has the correct flavor.

Any one know the difference between Accelerade advanced and the original Accelerade? Are they phasing the old one out?

Does it also smell like a dead rat if it sits around for a couple days? Also, try adding Elmers glue to duplicate the absolute stickiness...
