What You Should Know

You'd spot this 20 fl oz fruit punch sports drink in the beverage aisle or the refrigerated drinks section — a grab-and-go bottle for after a workout, a game, or a long drive. It feels bright and nostalgic (think childhood sports drinks) and convenient, but the ingredient list—cane sugar, natural flavors, electrolyte salts, gums and emulsifiers—shows it’s been industrially formulated for a smooth, stable texture and long shelf life, classic of ultra-processed beverages.

Common Questions about Fruit Punch Sports Drink, 20 FZ

Ah, the age-old question! This Fruit Punch Sports Drink has 130 calories and 31 grams of sugar per bottle, which means it’s definitely on the sweeter side. While it can provide a quick energy boost post-workout, it’s best enjoyed in moderation, especially if you’re watching your sugar intake. So, it’s healthy for hydration during sports, but maybe not your go-to for everyday sipping!
