G2 (I thought it was a TV station too!)

In the back of my head I remembered reading a few months ago that a new lower calorie version of Gatorade would be available soon, but until seeing some ads on TV recently, had completely forgotten about it.

Here is what Money magazine had to say about it back in September:

"G2, a low-calorie electrolyte beverage with 25 calories per eight-ounce serving, is designed to keep athletes hydrated when they're not training or competing, the company said."

One of the complaints I've seen about sports drinks before is the sometimes high calorie content that comes along with all that stuff you need to replenish yourself after a long workout, running a 5K, playing a game of flag football, or working construction in high heat. It appears that G2 provides that without all those extra calories. Sounds good to me!

Gatorade has a web site introducing the new drink here: Introducing G2
