I usually use Gatorade, but 4 servings only brings my carb count to 28Grams. Arizona Ice Tea has like 14G of Carbs and its in a 5 serving bottle. Thats like having 70Grams of carbs but is this considered a Fast Digesting or Slow Digesting Carb? I did a google search but I didnt receive much valuable information using it...

funny, their website doesn't seen to show the ingredients. look on the side of your can/jar and read the ingredients. My bet is that you will see a fast digesting, empty calorie, High GI carb source such as maltodextrin or dextrose

Just repped both yall. I found the ingredients in one version of the Arizona Ice Tea, but I have to check mine at home. They all problably have Maltodextrin and I'll be using this for post workout along with protein drinks. Thanks

Thank everyone. I think more people will should start using Arizona Ice Tea because supermarkets have them on sale alot. .88 cents for a 5 serving bottle is great
