“I recently was sent a supply of the Performance Enhancing Hornet Juice Training and Competition Formula, courtesy of Hornet Juice (follow Hornet Juice on Facebook and Twitter). Simple to use, just mixed one of the 15g packet of the Hornet Juice powder with 250 ml / 8.5 fl.oz of water, juice, or favorite electrolyte/sports drink. Instructions are to drink the mixed Hornet Juice anywhere between 0 and 45 minutes before the start of training or competition.”

First impressions are that this is a somewhat chalky drink and it doesn’t have a sugary, artificial flavor (which was great for me). Now I’m a texture guy, so didn’t mind the chalky feel, but some might find it odd and be turned off. I hope they don’t, because this product really works! It’s not a wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am kind of obvious thing, like a sugar or caffeine rush. In fact,  I couldn’t even FEEL that I  had ingested any sort of supplement. However, I definitely felt stronger and felt better, even towards the tail end of the training. I used it for long rides, intervals, tempo runs, and each and every time I didn’t feel tired and always wanted to extend my workout(now that’s powerful!).
