With the summer heat ramping up this week, we want to take this opportunity to introduce a few of our recently added retail products to help you stay hydrated.
We have a high bar for retail products, which is why we haven’t carried many in the past. However, we understand the need for quick and healthy options to get you through your hottest and sweatiest days at Aevitas!
From the outset, our goal has been clear: to offer a range of quality options that aren’t full of garbage or packed with tons of sugar and fake sweeteners. The folks at Saratoga Eagle helped us select a group of drinks that we believe will meet the range of needs of our members.
Additionally, all of the products we stock span the sweet/salty spectrum to allow you to choose what your palate is craving the most after a hard workout.
Check out the product descriptions below and why we are choosing to stock them. Then take the opportunity to try them, and take advantage of our summer promo (learn more below!)
Fuel & Drink Options Now at Aevitas
Barcode – Coconut Electrolyte Water – $3.00
This brand-new product offers 12 vitamins, minerals, and adaptogens. Barcode comes in several flavors for you to choose from (Karen’s favorite is the Lemon Lime, but the Fruit Punch seems to be the most popular overall) This is the sweetest option on our menu but still not as sweet as conventional sports drinks, with the hydrating benefits of coconut water.
Liquid Death (Plain, Carbonated, Flavored) – $3.00
Quench your thirst with Liquid Death’s innovative lineup, featuring plain, carbonated, and flavored options that deliver pure hydration with a rebellious twist. The flavored seltzer has just 4 grams of added sugar in the entire 17-ounce can, which is an excellent option if you want a less sweet drink than Barcode. This is our lightly sweetened option for those trying to minimize added sugar and sweeteners. The plain (white can) and carbonated (black can) are both unsweetened options.
Rain Water – $2.00
Embrace sustainability with Rain Water’s ethically sourced and eco-friendly hydration solutions. This is another unsweetened option but with enhanced convenience and utility. The screw-on cap is also great if you want to mix in your favorite pre/post-workout powder or need some added electrolytes from LMNT or similar supplements. This brings us to…
LMNT Electrolyte Powder – $1.50
For the salty bunch that sweats a ton and might not like sweetened or plain options, we have LMNT electrolyte powder. Power up your hydration routine with LMNT’s electrolyte powder, crafted for optimal replenishment with no sugar or artificial ingredients. LMNT is actually more salty than sweet which is why we love it!
Fuel For Fire (multiple flavors) – $3.00
We will continue to carry our favorite pre/post-workout option, Fuel For Fire. We believe it is an excellent option for pre- and post-workout nutrition. The carb/protein balance paired with the pureed texture makes Fuel for Fire a great option for a wide variety of fitness goals.
Wait, What About Energy Drinks?!
To be perfectly honest, we don’t recommend them. Energy drinks are often highly sweetened and extremely caffeinated. We could probably sell a ton of them, in fact, most gyms do.
We choose not to because they potentially do more harm than good by disrupting your sleep patterns and affecting your body’s ability to regulate natural cravings. They also tend to be packed with far too many ingredients than we are comfortable consuming. And if we won’t put them into our bodies, we aren’t going to encourage others to!
OK, Got It. Did You Say There Was A Summer Promo?
Yes! We are so excited for you to try these options that we are running a summer promo through August! From now until then, receive a FREE LMNT packet when you purchase two or more drinks (or Fuel for Fire)! Limit 1 per day, please 🙂
We hope these new options make it easier for more of our members to stay hydrated, especially as the temps climb in the next few months. If you do try these products, please let us know what you think, good or bad!
