  Could I use splenda or stevia in place of sugar? is there any value to using real sugar other than taste? - 8/20/14

  I thought this was very good. I found it very refreshing after my power walks on hot humid days and it tasted great... very grape-y! - 7/8/14

  Read the related article. This is meant to be a sports drink for athletes who need it (as an alternative to Powerade or Gatorade). http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/nutrit

  Why cool aid? I would not use sugar either. I would use regular grape juice and maybe add a non-calorie sweetner. - 6/22/19

  There is enough sugar in the grape juice. I would add stevia instead and also add some BCAAs to enhance this. - 12/22/17

  This is not intended to be a low calorie beverage. It is intended to be a healthier alternative to a sports drink like Gatorade. In that regard, it works, and looks like it is cheaper and probaqbly tastes better, too! - 3/10/17
