I really like this mix! I like it bc it doesn’t overpower you with fake flavor. It’s subtle. Yes it is tricky at first to mix. I put it in a shaker bottle and mix it up the night before my long runs. But… NO intestinal issues and it keeps you hydrated and fueled. I mixed a double batch to use in my hydration pack and I was good for my 17 mile run. I also added an electrolyte pack and more water 10miles in and the flavors mixed well. Very happy with it and will use during my next marathon

This is my 2nd bag of the high carb magical mix. Keeps me is great form and properly fueled on my long rides. This is great for making your own Gell power without the sticky mess.

I really didn't like the flavor of this. It tastes like water soluble packing peanuts blended with raspberry scented candle wax. I am hoping the flavor grows on me or I can figure out how to add some other ingredients to it to make it more palatable. To be fair, this is my first time using cluster dextrin, so this may actually be good compared with other brands. I have had similar issues with flavoring on other Skratch products. It is very hit or miss. Like their gummies? Fresh, bright fruit flavor. Their electrolyte drinks? Tastes like dawn flavored dish water.

Super carbs made me feel less fatigued on long runs. Easy to drink, dissolves in water, tastes good with no stomach ache or issues. Love it!

Thanks to an amazing newsletter from Skratch, I was inspired to add something new to my pre-run meal. Super High-Carb Sport Drink Mix + applesauce It gets paired with my microwavable mini-pancakes and peanut butter combo. It adds a great new texture as well as provides extra substance to my pre-workout meal. I am a plant-based amateur althete with a super sensitive gut. So finding proper fuel is critical, especially for long runs. In addition to making sure my stomach can tolerate the meal, it's also important that the components can be purchased globally or are able to be packed in a carry-on suitcase. This simple, two ingredient recipe has been an amazing staple. I personally enjoy the raspberry flavor with an unsweetened applesauce. I have been using this combo for over 2 years and have really appreciated the consistency and results.

This is my only one drink and DIY gel that I use for gravel cycling

Highly branched cyclic dextrin is a game changer and best fuel for endurance athletes available.

I usually go with Tailwind, but most races here use Scratch at aids so I tried it out. The flavor isn’t bad, but I could see me getting turned off by it over time. Maybe not so much fully from flavor but also mouth feel. It’s got a slight viscosity to it. But my biggest gripe is the efforts to get it to mix without clumping. If I’m on the move and refill with a single serve packet and a soft flask of water, it just won’t mix up and will clog your straw. Not for me but thank you.

Tried the super high carb for my two biggest gravel events of the year. What a game changer! Personal best times at both events and I didn't feel wiped out for days after.

This is my absolute favorite high carb drink. The taste is very mild, hardly sweet at all, which is really important for me being able to take down over long efforts. Most high carb mixes border on cloying, by mile 15 I just don't want anymore. This is an even close. If you mix it the night before and put it in the fridge it gets so smooth that you can barely taste it, it's basically just water. Which is amazing! I think this mixes the absolute easiest way to get in the carbs and calories. I just wish it were a little bit cheaper.

Work wells if directions are followed. I love it & it helped me with my carb intake! My stomach is thanking me.

Sometimes it's hard for me to consume solid calories during hard, long efforts, and this mix is the perfect solution. I like the lemon-lime flavor - it's not too sweet like some other brands I've tried.

no flavor, weird texture, and no scoop included in bag

I was having a lot of issues with my digestive system with long runs. Adding this to my water really helped calm my stomach and give me fuel to complete my longer runs. Thanks!!

I am using this to make more of a gel option. The flavor is good and goes down easy. The texture ends up being nice and I can customize as I need.

I was on Jury duty. No time to ride for 4 days. Friday and Saturday opened up. I rode 29 hilly miles in a loop from home on Friday. I left early on Saturday and headed north toward Canada. I rode up near the border then went East. I rode to Everson and had some food and then headed up the mountain toward beautiful Silver Lake. This road was too narrow so I turned around and went west through Lynden and on to Birch Bay on the Salish Sea. I only stopped when necessary and went up over a 7 mile hill toward home. One last big climb and home. 72 miles with 2,311 feet of elev gain. Windy going home. I used a Nalgene of the 2 packets of High Carb mix. Supplemented with coffee, eggs and toast, and a bag of fresh thick potato slices. It was a tiring ride and I was able to keep pedaling at a good even average speed throughout. This was a successful ride. I like this product and it is now a part of my training. Thanks for this power house.

Title kind of says it all, with a couple caveats: it’s not really at all sweet, and the flavour is also subtle. Mix it a while before riding as it takes a while to dissolve (but it’s worth it). I often mix it with another sweeter flavour of Skratch hydration too. This alone has kept me from bonking on countless rides.

Honestly it's exactly as advertised. A good clean carb source. Super soluble and gut friendly. Only note, if you're mixing on the road (I've carried 100g of carb mix in a 1l bottle) do it 1/2 at a time (add 1/2 the water, shake well, then add the other 1/2 and shake). Otherwise I might take a sec to mix on its own. No biggie. Wish it was a lil cheaper, but it's a great product and affordable relative to other options. Definitely recommend.
