I tossed a packet of the Pomegranate Berry flavor Cytomax Sports Performance Drink mix into a handheld water bottle for my long run last weekend. Overall I was pretty disappointed in it.
For one, the flavor wasn’t that great. It had that “whew protein” milky-malty taste. I could deal with that, but being in a handheld, it’s constantly being shaken with the obvious movement of my arms. This caused the drink of get very frothy which made the consistency worse to drink. I had some left over post-run and let it settle first and not drinking it in its full frothiness made it much more standable. Since I imagine this would react the same way jostling about in a bottle-belt, perhaps it would be more ideal in a bicycle bottle or just as a recovery beverage (anything to keep it from being pure foam).
Sure, it contains ingredients that would be good for you during endurance activity, but there are much better tasting products out there in my opinion.
