Venture Pal High Sodium Sugar-Free Electrolyte Powder Packets - Hydration Packets with Sodium, Potassium & Magnesium | Zero Calories | Vegan, Keto, and Paleo Friendly | 16 Sticks

I'm a huge fan of these! The flavors are really nice, and it's very affordable. They mix in very well and taste like the LMNT packets. They are salty, but that doesn't bother me and I like that they don't have tons of sugar.

These are pretty good and affordable compared to other electrolytes packs. They are fairly salty like LMNT packrts, and they dissolve well. I got the multi-flavor pack. The flavors are pretty artificial tasting, in that they taste like common candies that are flavored like "Peach", "Watermelon" etc. That could be a positive to some because its almost like drinking a candy flavored drink (especially peach and watermelon flavors). Berry was my favorite and the lemon lime was the worst flavor to me. Its too artificial and feels on the line of "kitchen cleaner" tasting. I would order just the berry flavor packs if I ordered again. The packs are a little hard to open by hand so be prepared to use scissors to open it.

On paper, these seem like a good value replacement for LMNT. To be clear, I was not using LMNT before due to both cost and trying to avoid artificial sweeteners, so I can’t provide a taste or effects comparison. I had been buying liquid IV for years, the one with actual sugar, but was always curious about the very different electrolyte profile in LMNT, so figured this was a cheap way to try it out. These packets dissolve easily and do not taste salty to me as others have complained about. It’s mostly just the artificial sweetener and flavors I taste. I’ve gone through about half the box now, so have consumed enough to notice a pattern in how my body responds. Unfortunately, I think the stevia in these disagrees with me. I find myself crashing hard energy-wise after drinking these, even only half a packet. It may be that I actually have to have a high carb food with one of these to counteract that effect - apparently stevia can cause an insulin response in some people and these do taste much sweeter than anything I eat regularly. I am going to give that a whirl, but won’t be buying these again as I often am not looking to eat a meal or snack when just needing an electrolyte boost. Back to liquid IV for me.

These electrolyte packets were a lifesaver on our Yosemite trip! They mixed easily, tasted great, and helped keep our family hydrated during long days of hiking and exploring. I noticed a big difference in energy and recovery, especially after being out in the sun all day. The variety pack was nice because everyone found a flavor they liked. Great value for the price and definitely something we’ll bring on future outdoor adventures. Highly recommend! 🌲💧🥾

I usually drink the LMNT watermelon but thought I'd try and find something not as expensive. This is a good value for 16 packs for $10 but not quite the taste of the LMNT. Salt is there at 1000mg and the watermelon is "close" and for the value I may keep a box around. The berry and lemon / lime are so-so with the lime being a little overwhelming. Not a big peach fan but did like it as a change of pace but wouldn't drink it during a work out. All in all, it's a good value and the taste is ok and you may find it suits your taste buds better than mine.
