Finally a sports drink that moms and anyone concerned with health can feel good about buying. Sportastic is a new, OC-based sports drink that’s all about great taste and allegiance to health. Compared to popular sports drinks, Sportastic is a winner: a 12 ounce bottle contains only 4 grams of sugar, 15 calories, and 4 carbohydrates, with electrolytes and vitamins. One of the most well-known sports drinks contains 90 calories and 22 grams of both sugar and carbohydrates in the same sized 12-ounce serving.
Sportastic was even approved by Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) as a “diabetes friendly” product. It’s significant in the lives of people who suffer from this debilitating disease. The drinks have a sweet, refreshing taste and come in a variety of flavors, including fruit punch, blue chill, and orange. The bottles come in a unique round shape with a stackable base and many sports designs. The fun and colorful bottles can also be packaged for private label, sports teams or special events. Sportastic is available at Costco throughout OC and LA. For the nearest one to you, look here.
