I tried the packet today and upon the initial taste of this particular powder once dissolved in the water, it did give a sweetness to it however it did not have an aftertaste which I thoroughly appreciate. When it's listed as a zero sugar product, it's often given with some artificial flavoring or sweetness that it could deter you from drinking the product. However I found that this powdered form when dissolved in the bottle did not have that aftertaste and it was so refreshing. It actually tasted like a real lemon lime Gatorade drink like the clear version of what's advertised on Gatorade which I greatly appreciate.
The packaging is very small so it's very convenient to take with you when you are going to the gym to conduct your workouts after as well as before. I work out from home 5:00 to 6 days a week and this is very convenient for someone who is trying to stay hydrated throughout my work day as well as after a hard workout to wear it's just light and refreshing and keeps me hydrated throughout the day.
