Who else makes homemade knock-offs?
The Power Gels, etc are way way too expensive. I have come up with a recipe that matches the contents and tastes pretty good as well.
Power Juice! 600 grams dextrose, 1 gram caffeine 1 gram sodium 1 gram potassium 3 cups dextrose ($5 for 5 lbs at a Brewing Supply shop) 1 cups lemonade mix (The dry stuff with regular sugar) 5 nodoz (200 mg caffine tablets) 1 tsp lite salt (50% potassium, 50% Sodium) 5 magnesium / calcium tablets (Help prevent cramps) Water 12 oz (Water goes in first!!!) Crush magnesium tablets, lite salt and nodoz in a mortar with a pestle Put water in the blender Add the dextrose and the lemonade mix Add the powder of the tablets Blend in blender Fills 6 hammer gel bottles ~ 400 calories each This is the equal of about 24 power gels! I'm still playing with the ratio of dextrose to lemonade. This is todays mix. Tomorrow I may try only 1/2 cup lemonade for flavor and 3 1/2 dextrose. What have you made?

James,
I buy the powder version of gatorade at the store, mix it at half strength and enjoy. Good call on making the stuff you are making at home. Saves a lot of money and well worth looking into! Joe

Someday when you're feeling devious, compare the nutrition label on a power bar and a bit o' honey candy bar...
