Skratch Labs Everyday Hydration Mix Review

I was excited to try the Skratch Labs Everyday Hydration Drink Mix. As it gets hotter in the Mojave Desert, I’m always looking for ways to stay hydrated during the day. Unlike higher calorie and sugared drinks, you don’t necessarily need that all day everyday. I’ve used various Skrach products including:

Whew, actually I really have tried a lot. I digress. Unlike other Skratch products, the Skratch Labs Everyday Hydration is designed to be used every day. It has lower sugar and lower calories, so you don’t have to worry about the sugar.

About Skratch Labs:

According to the website: “Skratch Labs makes sports nutrition designed to help you perform better without offending your gut or your taste buds because they use real food, starting from scratch.”

Skratch Labs began in professional cycling. While working as a sports scientist and coach, Dr. Allen Lim started to make his training food and sports drinks from scratch. He was tired of the artificial ingredients that made many cyclists sick to their stomachs.

His first creation was the “secret drink mix.” He also began diluting sports drinks to lower the sugar concentration while adding extra salt and electrolytes. His “secret drink mix” used a recipe with less sugar, more sodium, and no artificial sweeteners, flavors, or colors. It even used real fruit!

As word got out about the “secret drink mix,” it was clear that there was a demand for it. To meet the demand, Dr. Allen Lim put together a team and created the company Skratch Labs.

What Makes Skratch Everyday Hydration Different?

Skratch Labs Everyday Hydration Drink Mix sets itself apart by offering a ‘lightweight’ hydration option with zero added sugars. It actually utilizes just a squeeze of real fruit for flavor. Each serving delivers a balanced electrolyte profile, including 400mg of sodium. This drink mix is free from artificial sweeteners, dyes, or flavors, ensuring no gastrointestinal distress thanks to its low osmolarity. It’s perfectly suited for a wide range of dietary needs, being gluten-free, vegan, and non-GMO.

My Experience with the Skratch Labs Everyday Hydration:

Like I mentioned, I was excited to get a hydration mix back into the routine during the day. Even though it’s just July, we had 90+ degrees over the weekend. So it’s time for more electrolytes. The Skratch Labs Everyday Hydration comes in a pouch with a little scoop to mix. It’s not as practical, but you can purchase them individually served as well.

I tried both flavors, the lemon+lime and tangerine+orange. Both are not as traditionally sweet as you find in many other drink mixes, and that is because Skratch Labs Everyday Hydration doesn’t use artificial flavors. I liked them both but tended to gravitate towards the orange just because I typically like orange. I definitely feel better when drinking either, especially as it gets warmer. So in short, I’m a huge fan. It isn’t overly sweet but keeps you hydrated. What more do you need?

Cost:

The Everyday Hydration Drink Mix is available in various sizes:

Single Serving: $1.65
Box of 15: $22.95
30 Serving Bag: $27.95

Flavors available include Lemon + Lime and Tangerine + Orange.

It’s right about average for the cost of specialized hydration products. Obviously the more you purchase the cheaper it is, and the box of 30 is under $30.

Skratch Labs Everyday Hydration Conclusion:

I appreciate that the Skratch Labs Everyday Hydration supports hydration without adding unnecessary sugars or calories, making it ideal for anyone from professional athletes to casual gym-goers. It’s not going to be the best option for runs or workouts because you definitely want something with more electrolytes and possibly more sugar. I am a fan and will continue using it during the day.
