leeway: I use apple juice, or any fruit juice available. Orange spice tea is delicious, gives it some kick. I generally adjust for taste, but you don't want to load up too much sugar to spike your insulin levels.

Inexpensive alternative to sports drinks for casual workout days.

I call this Carbo Load. It is a fluid replacement product.
