* 2x Scoops Gatorade powder (normal dilution)
** An alternative is to use 1 scoop of Gatorade and the equal weight of Maltodextrose (AKA Maltodextrin), which is more easily absorbed and much cheaper. I get mine at http://store.honeyvillegrain.com/maltodextrin50lb.aspx for less than $1 per pound.

* Optional - 1x Tablespoons BCAA Powder (5g)* Optional - 1x Teaspoon Glutamine Powder (5g)
