I Was Skeptical About The Liquid I.V. Electrolyte Sachets — Now I Carry Them Everywhere
They taste amazing, mix like a dream, and keep me hydrated during workouts and on extra-hot days. After years of taking workout classes, sweating through gym sessions, and stationary biking at home, I've realized how big a role hydration plays in my performance. Since I can't chug litres of water while working out, at least without making myself feel queasy, I've relied on electrolytes to help see me through. The downside? They're usually packed with sugar and unnecessary additives. When I heard about Liquid I.V. Electrolyte Drink Mixes and took a dip into its reviews, I must admit, I was influenced. Amazon If you've never dabbled in the world of electrolyte drink mixes, you're in for a treat. Liquid I.V. functions like Gatorade or Powerade, but with much less sugar—a standard bottle of Gatorade has 36 grams of sugar, whereas one sachet of Liquid I.V. has 11 grams. It enhances hydration through five essential vitamins and nutrients, and the blends are scientifically formulated to restore your electrolyte balance, helping you stay hydrated through training, sweating, hot weather, and travelling. Let's get into the details. Each sachet of Liquid I.V. Electrolyte Drink Mix is 50 calories, containing 13 grams of carbohydrates, 11 grams of sugar, and 500 milligrams of sodium. They also include vitamins B3, B5, B6, and vitamin C. All blends skip GMOs, artificial colours, and artificial flavours, too. There are currently five flavours available, most inspired by fruits. The brand sometimes introduces limited-edition seasonal flavours, like the Firecracker mix for summer. If you're curious, here's what we're currently working with: Firecracker Lemon Lime Passion Fruit Strawberry Tropical Punch Now, just to warn you, these mixes pack a punch in the flavour department. I'm not a huge fan of the strawberry flavour, but I'm a hater of artificial strawberry, so that should come as no surprise. Firecracker, Tropical Punch, and Passionfruit are definitely the winners in my book. Tropical Punch has notes of tangerine nectar, pineapple and cherry flavours, while Firecracker tastes like the classic tri-tone popsicle, with notes of lemon lime, cherry, and raspberry. As I mentioned, the flavours are quite strong, so if you're looking to just get a hint of flavour, you'll want to add more water to offset the taste. The recommended ratio is one sachet of Liquid I.V. per 500 millilitres of water, but the ratio really is up to you. In terms of texture, these mixes get a 10/10. They blend like a dream, with no clumping or graininess left behind after a quick shake (I usually dump them in my Owala water bottle). What reviewers are saying about the Liquid I.V. Electrolyte Drink Mixes: While packaging isn't my first priority when it comes to choosing an electrolyte powder, I appreciate that these come in individually portioned packs instead of a scoopable tub. This means you can just grab and go, and bring extra for when you need them (this is especially great for travelling). Each bag comes with 18 sachets, so it'll last you a while. I do wish the sachets were recyclable because they do lead to excess in all, the Liquid I.V. Electrolyte Drink Mixes are a simple way to boost hydration when exercising or during the hottest months of the year, when you're sweating more than usual. They mix easily, leaving no clumps or graininess behind, and the flavours, at least in my opinion, are delicious. The electrolyte drink mixes from Liquid I.V. are climbing up the bestseller charts, and reviewers are loving them. They have an impressive rating of 4.3 stars, and people are overwhelmingly impressed by the taste and their boosted hydration. They also love that they come in pre-portioned packs, making them easy to throw in their bags and go. Some find the flavours too strong and others don't like the added sugar, but most agree that they're delicious and easy to work into any routine.

Bombshell theory emerges about Caitlin Clark's future that would cripple the WNBA
Caitlin Clark has been tipped to leave the WNBA behind and start her own basketball league as her popularity continues to soar beyond anything seen before. The Indiana Fever star's biographer, Christine Brennan, put forth a wild theory this week about Clark's future in the league, on the day that she was named a captain in the All-Star Game. The former Iowa sensation has driven massive ratings to the league and helped shatter attendance records as she's become the biggest name in women's hoops. And while Clark is currently starring for the Fever, Brennan thinks she could someday start her own league. 'Nike loves her. She's got Wilson, obviously. She's got Gatorade,' Brennan said. 'Even though the salary's $76,000 for a rookie - it's more this year now - she's making $28 million from Nike alone, according to the Wall Street Journal. So she's at $40 million, whatever,' Brennan said on ESPN LA when asked about the prospect. 'OK, fine, she's doing great. And if Nike said, "We're going to make the Nike-Clark league," it would obviously take a few years to get the arenas and whatever. 'But you know the TV contract. I mean, it's Caitlin. Again, the TV viewership, it's Caitlin Clark. It's not Angel [Reese] and Caitlin. It's Caitlin. It's Caitlin Clark only.' 'And I think Angel's a great rebounder and excellent at what she does, but she doesn't move the needle on TV ratings,' she continued, as she promoted 'On Her Game: Caitlin Clark and the Revolution in Women's Sports.' 'It's Caitlin. And they could do it. I think they could absolutely put it together in a couple of years. And I'll stay on that because I agree with you. It's fascinating and it's doable because of the void in the vacuum of leadership the WNBA continues to exhibit.' In no small part due to Clark's effect on the league, the WNBA secured a new 11-year media rights deal with Disney, Amazon Prime Video NBCUniversal worth a reported $2.2billion, which is set to begin in 2026. Additionally, the players' union announced last fall that players were opting out of the current collective bargaining agreement, which is set to expire this coming October. There has already been a prominent breakaway women's league since Clark joined the WNBA, as the 3-on-3 Unrivaled launched last winter. And while the league heavily recruited Clark, she ultimately declined to participate as she recharged her batteries following an extremely hectic year. While Clark has at times been at her best during her sophomore campaign, her numbers have dipped across the board and she's appeared in just nine of the Fever's 16 contests due to injury. She returned from a five-game absence from a quad injury earlier this month, but only played another five games before being ruled out again with a groin issue. Clark has missed the last two games for the Fever, with her status uncertain for the matchup against the Lynx on Tuesday night. The guard's points per game have dropped from 19.2 in her rookie year to 18.2 this season, while her three-point percentage has so far gone from 34.4 percent to 29.5 percent. Nonetheless, she was announced by the WNBA as an All-Star Game captain on Sunday after she and Napheesa Collier received the most votes. Clark and Lynx star Collier will have the opportunity to draft from a pool of the other WNBA All-Stars to create two teams ahead of the festivities next month. The WNBA All-Star Game will take place on July 19 at Clark's home stadium, Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
