I'm new to cycling (started March of this year) but I've been some pretty long rides and had my first century in August (doing my second this coming January). During that time span, I've tried various different sports drinks ranging from powdered Gatorade, SIX Nutrition Hydra, E-Fuel to Citomax. Gatorade was too sweet, Hydra was good but had that weird after taste (like you get from diet coke) and E-Fuel and Citomax also had an aftertaste. So I decided to try this drink and got the Summer Citrus. This drink taste awesome, it's sweet but has the citrus twist that offsets it. I also don't cramp with this drink likely because of the Whey Protein. If you're a beginner biker, this should be the drink to try.

I'm trying to improve my cycling and nutrition is hugely important. Before, during and after exercise all needs to be considered, sometimes with different products. I tried a starter kit from a different company with three different powders, but didn't like the taste, or the fact that the powders all contained aspartame.I then ordered 1.6kg of Energy Source 4:1 in summer fruits. Unlike many sports drinks it contains protein, which means it can be used as a recovery drink as well as during exercise. It also contains electrolytes to replace any lost in sweat. The taste is good, a bit like a raspberry flavoured ice lolly, but the biggest difference is that it goes down very well,

I have been using SIS and fancied a switch for this year after trying a sample. I used it on a ride on Sunday which I rode also last week. Ride prep was the same but the difference was I used High5 4:1. 60 miles later and at the end of the ride I still had a good set of legs on me on the last hill home plus clamed a KOM and PB! A fantastic ride and some may say a lot of veribles, but I am very happy. It can also be used in recovery which I found is a lot softer on the guts than most other products. A great product. Fast delivery and a competive price. 1x happy rider. :)

One of the few powders that I could drink 6 bottles of during a really long day. The carb / protein mix is designed for intense repetitive training or touring. I find it really useful on rides over 4 hours as it seems to prolong the time before I feel like I am running on empty. For shorter rides I use a bottle of the high 5 carb energy source and then have this in my second bottle. 3 scoops per 750ml bottle. Unlike mojito, this is actually drinkable without any sickness feeling or dodgy tummy!I have a 600km, 4 day ride coming up and it will be essential!

This is a good tasting, effective recovery and training drink. I'm a middle distance runner so get through 250 ml during my run and up to 500 ml after. Unlike the sachets you can get you can more easily measure out smaller portions of the powder for a more dilute drink or a lower volume for (e.g.) a 250 ml running belt bottle.These huge bulk bottles are generally better value than a box of sachets although it does take up a lot of room! And if, like I, are confused by the lack of scoop in the bottle, it's there somewhere. It's a bit like a lucky dip.

Absolutely no idea about the sporty nature of this. I live with a VERY aggressive form of Multiple Sclerosis and have had to live with stroke-like attacks for around 5 years. The glucose helps my brain regain contr of my body within around 5 minutes. Before this, my attacks lasted for around 3 hours at a time.By the way. When Neurology tell you this is "your journey", what they really mean is they havent got a clue...so "give everything a go...what's the worst that could happen?"...

This product is great it doesn`t taste sweet like most leading brand energy drinks. After a little bit of research I believe that High 5 4:1 is the only product on the market that contains carbohydrate, protein, and eloctrolytes. These ingredients were essential to help me train for an Ironman. Before taking the product I always felt tired and lacked the strength to go into my next training session fully recovered. This product has helped me to train harder, and recover quicker!!!

I’m training for a HM and was finding I was totally wiped out after a long run. I ordered this hoping it would help me recover. I’ve just been out on my longest run and was in a complete exhausted state after. After having a drink if this I actually feel pretty much fine! I’m amazed! I’m going to use it during a long run too now. Going to buy some of their gels too as seem to get on with all the HIGH5 products I’ve tried. Mix with a whisk in a jug to avoid lumps ??

The market place has a wide variety of similar products for cyclists. Over the years I have tried most brands all with some degree of success.Summer Fruits however, is without a doubt the " best " of them all. Easy to mix, tastes very nice, quenches thirst and rehydrates gives that much needed boost after many kilometres of cycling and, the price ( I believe ) is very reasonable too!Highly recommended.

I was using this for several years prior to a break in sport due to serious injury. I am now back in full training and this product is as good as it was before. Great for both during and after training as a recovery drink due to the Whey protien contained in it.Great price from Amazon - seller was quick to turn my order around.

I used High 5 4:1 as part of my London Marathon fuelling strategy after a recommendation from a multi marathoner and it works. Delivering more fuel than a standard energy drink it helped during the long training runs and during the taper phase. Tastes okay and doesn't upset the stomach. Recommended.

I have used a number of sports drinks in preference to just water over the years but consistently use this on training rides and sportives. It's got a great taste, exceptionally easy on the stomach and massively aids recovery post ride. Not the cheapest out there but this is well worth every penny.

I love all the High5 products I've tried. I use this when I get in from a long run. I found it really hard to find a 4:1 carb to protein drink for after my runs so I was really excited about this stuff. I'd recommend this as a post workout drink to all runners. It has electrolytes too!

Great stuff, not too sweet or acidic like some and suits me, unlike the sis stuff that makes me want to hurl on a long run. The protein is nice too for recovery, it even mixes with milk for a shake but that's supposed to slow absorption.The tub is huge though so be warned.

Always use this stuff on big rides. It's great balance of glucose and proteins. Meaning I can ride harder longer and get less tired. I love this stuff. As big guy I tend to get hungry if I don't eat. This stuff means I can go longer between food intervals
