So with other powder mixes there's a very distinctive taste. It's kinda hard to describe it almost like a gritty overly sweet unpleasant taste. However the gaterade hydration booster has none of that at all. It's got a perfect amount of flavor it's not to little and not to much. It's perfect for anyone looking to replenish their bodies of the vitamin and nutrients it needs for whatever reason. I'd highly recommend if your looking for the perfect drink to get your bodys hydration up back to par.
