my drink of choice

I told you guys I would be back, but this time with some slightly more exciting info!

Ok, so I know there are tons of you runners, bikers, mountian climbers, ice dancers, ect. out there and one of your main concerns is probably hydration right?  I know for me personally I'm pretty particular to what I'm able to stomach before, during and after a workout.  I know a lot of you also have a preference on what you like the best, and what you hate, I know I do (I'm looking at you sugary Poweraide!).  I've tried a lot of things, and up until a year ago, would just choose plain water over other sports drinks.  Most of them are just too sweet and sugary for me, and left me craving plain water just to wash it down.  But about a year ago I discovered my perfect drink!

Enter in Skratch Labs. I disovered it when I was needing something besides water for after my workouts, and a friend of ours who owned the local bike shop had Skratch for sale.  I tried a few packets out and instantly fell in love.  It wasnt sugary-syrupy like other sports drinks, it was nice and light, almost like just a flavored water.  But you guys, the flavors of these are awesome, it tastes like ACTUAL fruit, and not something artificial.  Thats probably because there isnt anything fake in these.  Thats why I love 'em. They have ingredients I can pronounce, use only real fruit and has less calories and more electrolytes.

Now this isnt some sponsored plug for these guys, and I would rave about them anyway, but as luck would have it, last December I saw a Tweet go out from Skratch that they were looking for "Taste Agents" to represent their brand.  I thought "Hey, I love this stuff, and it cant hurt to apply", so I did.  I knew they were going to choose towards the end of January, and when I got home from my run on Saturday I had a sweet email waiting for me - I was picked to be an official Taste Agent for 2014!  I am totally surprised because I never win anything, but totally honored to help represent them.

Full disclosure though, I am NOT getting paid to write any of this, the links I provide are NOT affiliate links so I am not earning compensation from you clicking them, and I do not recieve anything from having any readers purchase their stuff.  I do however recieve select discounted items and if I ever recieve anything for free or to review I will make sure to disclose that on here.

That being said, its also Skratch Labs 2nd birthday and they are having a massive sale on their website.  So if you wanted to try their stuff, now's a good time to buy.

So there you have it, I'm super psyched and am happy to help spread the good word!
