Ahhh, summer is finally here! To soccer players, that means tournaments, camps, and preseason days are upon us. Which means it is ultra important to hydrate and fuel your bodies to not just survive, but thrive in the summer heat.

SkratchLabs is our go-to for providing top-notch hydration and energy products. They make sports nutrition designed to help you perform better without offending your gut or your taste buds. They use real food, starting from scratch! They have an impressive range of options that cater to the specific needs of athletes, particularly college and high school players gearing up for the summer season.

You may be familiar with some of the hydration products we highlighted last year, but did you know that SkratchLabs also has awesome snacks to fuel your bodies right?? They’re pretty tasty too!

Here’s the full rundown on how Skratch can help you stay both hydrated AND fueled as you train and compete this summer.

Hydration

SkratchLabs offers a number of hydration options to choose from based on your needs and preferences. The classic Hydration Sport Mix will help you rehydrate and replenish what is lost in sweat. This is great to grab during practices or games, especially when the summer heat is ramping up.

Their Recovery Mix is for when you’ve given 110% – great for two-a-day sessions during preseason or after an intense game. It has a 4:1 carb to protein ratio, which helps promote muscle recovery to refuel and rebuild. They also have a Clear Hydration Mix for those who don’t like flavored drinks (especially on a hot day). With just a subtle hint of real lemons or oranges, this mix will keep you hydrated and your taste buds and stomach happy.

Crispy Rice Cakes

Yes, you can treat yourself and fuel your body at the same time, thanks to SkratchLabs’ Crispy Rice Cakes. These cakes pack a punch, with 180-190 calories and over 30g of carbs, offering ample fuel for most athletes for over an hour. These delectable treats are perfect for consuming immediately before or during a lift or practice session.

The source of this energy is primarily complex carbohydrates found in rice. What sets them apart is their ability to digest slowly, providing a steady release of energy and maintaining stable blood sugar levels. Skratch Labs Sport Crispy Rice Cakes come in three mouthwatering flavors: Salted Maple & Mallow, Chocolate & Mallow, and Strawberry & Mallow. With their high carbohydrate content, each cake provides enough fuel to power most players for an additional 45-60 minutes.

Energy Chews

Another perfect snack option is the SkratchLabs Energy Chews– vegan energy chews specially formulated with a specific ratio of glucose and fructose. These chews are flavored only with real fruit, and they steer clear of coloring agents, flavoring agents, and waxes commonly found in similar products. They are the ideal on-the-go solution when time and resources are limited, and you need a quick burst of energy. Think half-time snack, or in between practice and lift sessions. These Energy Chews serve as an easy and efficient source of carbohydrates to help maintain blood sugar levels and enhance performance.

As you prepare for the upcoming soccer season, make sure to consider SkratchLabs as your trusted partner for hydration, fueling, and overall athletic performance. Their Crispy Rice Cakes and Energy Chews offer delicious and effective ways to sustain your energy levels while ensuring optimal hydration. Give yourself the advantage of SkratchLabs products and experience the difference they can make in your preseason training. Stay hydrated, stay fueled, and dominate the field with SkratchLabs!
