What do you do when you need a sports drink, but all the well-known options have allergens you are allergic to? I have found it is almost impossible to find a sports drink similar to Gatorade or Powerade that does not have high fructose corn syrup, modified food starch (corn), or maltodextrin (corn) until now. Recently, on a trip to Southern California, I found a sports drink called Body Armor while playing 18 holes at Trump National Golf Club in Los Angeles. I checked the ingredients assuming it would have the usual corn ingredients and to my surprise, it did not. What it did have, coconut water, pure cane sugar, vitamins, and electrolytes, are great things to hydrate during any sport activity. Body Armor has no caffeine, no preservatives, gluten free, and nut free. Its tag line is "Upgrade Your Sports Drink," and I agree! Coconut water is great for hydration on a hot day or a long workout. It is offered in six different flavors: Fruit Punch, Tropical Punch, Strawberry Banana, Mixed Berry, Orange Mango, and Grape. Each flavor is smooth and not thick like Gatorade and Powerade where they have gotten syrupy over the years.
Several professional athletes are endorsing the product and are investors. Kobe Bryant, Andrew Luck, Mike Trout, Kevin Love, among others believe in Body Armor and putting the best products in their bodies for performance.
My only issue with this delicious sports drink is its availability. I easily found it at convenience stores in the Los Angeles area, along with Trump National, however, I have not located it on the East Coast yet. It is available online.
