Making my own preworkout - best flavorings for taste?!

[AlohaSayonara]

Hi. I'm making my own pre-workout (mostly for me & friends, may eventually try to market it to others) and I'm pretty much set on ingredients, just wondering what flavorings to add for taste. Ideally natural ones. Open to any ideas. Thanks for your time.

you can buy fruit powders if you want natural but it will mean a few added calories depending on how much you use

It's nearly impossible to mask the ingredients and make it palate friendly when making a homemade PWO powder

Thanks, I bought some pineapple powder on Amazon and maybe will add some monkfruit extract (erythritol) also

So how do supplement companies do it? Some of them taste pretty damn good.

artificial sweeteners are like 10-50 times sweeter than sugar

You can't have a good preworkout that tastes amazing.

Lab flavoring vs Home is night and day.

Fugi has a point, they spend a LOT of money on r &d to be able to and market to consumers.

if it tastes good you'll look forward to your next serving

if it tastes like crap you probably wont stick with it or gift a tub to a friend

i bought an assortment of stick packets (welch's, wylers, true, etc) and found the only ones good at masking the taste were my least favorite which would be anything citrus.

BCAAs are a chore to flavor, but when they're done right its all smiles
