LUNA SPORT ELECTROLYTE SPLASH
CLICK HERE TO SKIP TO THE LONG-TERM REPORT TESTER INFORMATION
I have been hiking and backpacking since the spring of 2000 throughout Michigan and Indiana, covering several hundred miles, always with a dog by my side. Beau, my second trail dog, has been happily carrying a pack since 2002. My style of backpacking is moving from overnights to long distance hiking, including multi-day trips. Even though I have Beau with me, I'm usually the solo human on the trek, so I like to go as light as possible while still being comfortable. I document our adventures and misadventures on my website, www.uberpest.com.
INITIAL REPORT
PRODUCT INFORMATION & SPECIFICATIONS
Manufacturer: Clif Bar & Co INITIAL IMPRESSIONS
The Luna Sport Electrolyte Splash comes in small papery packets. The material is shiny on the edges and has nutritional information on the back. The literature enclosed with the Splash states "Luna Sport Electrolyte Splash is the first women's organic sports drink. [it has] just the right amount of carbs to fuel a woman's workout and keep her hydrated during activity." It adds there are "only 80 calories per 16 ounce serving." The Splash is labeled USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) 80% Organic, and KSA (Kosher Supervision of America) kosher. TRYING IT OUT As there is a small supply of the product I am only commenting on the instructions and packaging in my initial report, and will comment on taste in the field report phase of this test. TESTING STRATEGY
Unlike most of my test plans, my little buddy will not be helping me with this one. I will be eating the product as I would any sport supplement (sports drink, energy bar, protein bar, trail mix). For me this means pretty much just following the label. I'll report back on how this helps me maintain my energy during a hike, if indeed it does help. SUMMARY
I look forward to testing the Luna Sport Electrolyte Splash. Please check back in approximately 3 months for my Field Report. LONG-TERM TEST LOCATIONS AND CONDITIONS
After my initial report I received a larger supply of Luna Sport Electrolyte Splash to test. I received an additional 4 packets of each flavor giving me a grand total of 12 packets to test (6 of each flavor). PERFORMANCE IN THE FIELD
While hiking I carried the Luna Sport Electrolyte Splash in my lumbar pack or in the top pocket of my day pack. While biking I carried them in my jacket pocket. I consumed the Sport Electrolyte Splash in addition to the Luna Sport Moons and Recovery Smoothie. CONTINUED USE I will likely use this product again in the future because, despite the tough packaging, it is a useful way to get electrolytes and sugars while out on the trail or when working out. SUMMARY
The Luna Sport Electrolyte Splash is a tasty way to help rehydrate while exercising. Read more gear reviews by Amanda Tikkanen Reviews > Food > Energy Bars and Drinks > Luna Sports Electrolyte Splash > Test Report by Amanda Tikkanen |
