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?
