Green tea in a sports drink? It makes more sense than you might think.🍵

We blend real matcha powder into our Sports Drink Mix to reduce the sweetness and create a more neutral taste. It still contains the same stomach-settling ginger as our Original Ginger flavour, giving you all the Active Root benefits in a lighter-tasting drink.🫚

Same Active Root ginger. Same dependable fuel. Less sweetness in your bottle.🦊

Would you give Green Tea a go?

What goes in your bottle or flask should depend on the session.

For shorter, easier training, hydration may be the main priority. Once the duration or intensity increases, adding carbohydrate can help support the effort.

That’s the key difference between Electrolite and Sports Drink Mix.

Swipe through to see which one we’d choose for an easy gym session, a 90-minute run and a long ride.

Carbs for the miles. Caffeine for the extra push.⚡

When the miles start adding up, having something extra in your fuelling plan can make all the difference. Our Citrus Energy Gel is made for those tougher moments when you want to find another gear and keep pushing.
