A few weeks ago I recieved a parcel of the latest flavour from Lucozade’s Lite range; Cherry.

“Ideal for people wanting to enjoy the lighter side of sport, Lucozade Sport Lite Cherry is the perfect companion for when you’re being active. Whether you love to run, enjoy  a gym class or swim, Lucozade Sport Lite Cherry will help keep you hydrated through your exercise.”

I should probably point out at this point that I am not a sporty person. Not right now, I was once upon a time, and once again hope to be, but right now the most energetic I get is walking around the City Centre on a shopping marathon.
Despite that, I was swayed by the blurb, specifically the “Containing vitamins B3 and B6 to help maintain energy and vitality and Vitamins B5 and B12 to help reduce tiredness and fatigue Lucozade Sport Lite has 70% less sugars than regular sports drinks delivering thirst quenching results in only 50 calories!” part. I don’t think sports drink have to be for sporty types,
Sometimes I could do with a boost of energy within the working day and I don’t always get a chance to make a cup of coffee, or sit and eat a decent snack so I hoped that Lucozade would provide a sort of “make do and mend” approach for those busier days.


And did it?
Well,
it’s hard to say. I’m not usually a big water drinker so it could have just been that I was better hydrated all round, but I did feel refreshed and more alert.


Bonus is it tastes better than water too! I love me some Cherry flavoured things and this tasted far less artificial than sports drinks of the past.


It’s not something I would drink on a daily basis, but if I know I have a busy day, or do ever get back to the gym then this would be my drink of choice.

Lucozade Sport Lite Cherry is available in 500ml singles and 4 x 500ml Multipacks.
