Looking for a ‘sport drink’ that isn’t filled with refined sugar, sodium and artificial flavours & colours?  Here is one great solution: Brendan Brazier‘s recipe for ‘Classic lemon lime sport drink’

You may be familiar with Brendan’s ‘vega‘ line of all-natural sport performance products. He has also written a couple of great books on sport nutrition; namely The Thrive Diet and Thrive Fitness

Being a professional Ironman triathlete and a two-time Canadian 50km Ultra Marathon Champion, I think he knows a thing or two about sports nutrition!
