Powerade Play Review

Now that Hunter is at that age where he is always playing sports, sports drinks have become a big thing here in my house. He drinks them constantly, even if he’s not playing a sport. So when I was given the opportunity to try out Powerade Play, a new sports drink geared specifically to kids I jumped on it. Usually I water down his sports drinks in an effort to keep his sugar intake down, but its important he stay hydrated while playing all his sports so I don’t mind him drinking them a lot.

Powerade Play is the first sports drink geared towards elementary aged kids. Its formulated with less sugar, more vitamins and the same great taste as regular Powerade. Another great benefit that captured my attention is that it has Powerade’s Ion4 advanced electrolyte system which helps replenish four electrolytes lost in sweat: sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium. It’s important to keep our kids in a healthy condition especially when they are active. They are available in six packs of 12 oz bottles and come in four flavors which are fruit punch (delicious), mixed berry, orange and grape. This is set to hit the shelves in just a couple weeks in perfect time for spring sports.

I know I’ll most likely be stocking up on this drink for when he’s playing baseball and football this year. When I asked Hunter what he thought of the drink he said, “I love them.” I tried them as well and thought they tasted exactly like the regular ones. I honestly couldn’t even tell you how quickly they were gone. Personally, I am really excited that Powerade came out with a drink for kids because now I don’t have to water it down or feel guilty about letting him drink them constantly.  This is a product I would highly recommend for all your little athletes.
