Hydracy Essential Daily Electrolyte Stick Packs (30 Count) - Lemon Bar

These taste great, I honestly prefer them to any other lemon/lemon-lime flavors I’ve had & I’ve tried several. The flavor is a bit less tart and sweeter (more like a lemon bar filling as they state than a fresh lemon). However, they didn’t dissolve as easily as I like. I felt I had to pour extra slow & stir longer & still got bits in my mouth & had to shake my tumbler. I love that they use clean plant-based ingredients though. These definitely keep me hydrated & are easy to drink. At less than a dollar per packet they are also very reasonably priced especially with such great ingredients & dietary inclusivity.

I’ll start with the taste because that’s always my biggest concern with electrolyte powders. These taste just like sugar-free Country Time lemonade to me — and thankfully, they don’t leave much of that strong “diet” aftertaste. That was a really nice surprise. They’re refreshing and easy to drink.With only 55mg of sodium per serving, these are ideal for daily, light hydration. They’re perfect for someone who wants to avoid high salt intake but still support fluid balance and prevent mild dehydration. I see these more as an everyday hydration boost rather than a heavy-duty recovery drink.That said, I personally wouldn’t rely on these after heavy sweating, intense workouts, or something like a stomach bug. In those situations, I’d want a drink with significantly more sodium for proper replenishment. But for normal daily use? They’re great.At $24.99 for a 30-pack, I think they’re reasonably priced. I’d happily recommend them to anyone looking for a sweet drink alternative to plain water, without all the sugar of regular lemonade, and with a little added hydration support.

Living in Colorado and as a volunteer ranger, I do quite a bit of backpacking, hiking and just being outdoors. I’m always concerned about hydration and drink plenty of water. Electrolytes have generally been ho-hum for me since water works along with the proper foods/nutrition. Nevertheless, electrolytes do have their place, albeit not the panacea and end all for me.I ordered these to give them a tryout. The taste is decent, yet obviously artificial as with so many of these concoctions. As to their efficacy, that is a difficult conclusion to pin down without a serious testing method. Regardless, what’s the harm, I guess you can say. In any event, the taste is palatable, definitely “lemony.” But “bar?” Come on! I compared the ingredients with the brand that my wife uses which is described as “Lemonade.” No “bar.” Not only nearly identical ingredients but taste very similar. Should note, both are sugarless and both use “Organic Stevia Extract.” So, I guess it comes down to price that would differentiate the two, but I’m not going to get into that.Of disappointment in my order was the packaging. First, the “stick” (as the product describes) I pulled out was not sealed properly and I ended up with product spilling out. I understand that can occur but just something to note. Also to note, I pulled out randomly several other “sticks” and found no leakage. Second, the packaging itself, the color scheme. It looks nice, but the difficulty reading the information on the backside is frustrating. Using a darker colored font, instead of white, would make reading all the information, including ingredients, effortless. It looks “pretty,” but as the wording runs into the yellow background the difficulty of reading increases.Bottom line: If you believe in electrolytes or find them helpful to yourself, there is nothing wrong with this product, other than the packaging.

I ordered these Hydracy Sugar Free Electrolytes Powder Packets - Zero Sugar Hydration Drink Mix for 2 main reasons. One, I like to drink water, but I do tend to drink more water when I squeeze a lemon wedge into my water (this is mostly when I eat out). So I thought this would be a good addition to my water at home. Two, even though my husband doesn't like lemon wedges squeezed into his water, he does love anything lemon. He plays a lot of tennis and pickleball and will drink Gatorade and water during his matches. The problem is....he is diabetic and needs to watch his sugar intake. So, I thought this would be the perfect addition to his tennis bag when he needs electrolytes (we are fans of Liquid IVs). After opening the big bag, I grabbed a small packet to open it, but quickly realized it was not sealed correctly in the production and ended up spilling onto my counter. I threw that packet away and grabbed another one (this is why I am giving it 4 stars). After adding it to my 16.9oz cold water bottle, it took a good 2 minutes of shaking for it to fully dissolve. My initial thought was it didn't have the same lemon flavor that I get with a lemon squeeze (wishful thinking). I assume because it is sweetened with something other than sugar, it had an initial taste I wasn't accustomed to. So I drank a little bit more ....and more....and more. It was o-k, but definitely would take me more time to get used to the flavor. It's not horrible, it's just different. Without sharing my opinion, I asked my husband to taste it and give me his thoughts. He said he liked it and said he would definitely use it while he was playing tennis/pickleball. So I think it depends on the person if it's a hit/miss. It's 50/50 in our household....and I haven't given up hope on it yet! I'll try again. It's priced at $24.99 for 30 sticks, so I think it's priced about right.

These electrolytes are really tasty! The sweetener is stevia, which I initially was concerned about but I thought I would give it a shot. Most stevia products I have tried leave me with a bad aftertaste... but these electrolytes don't do that. The flavor is called "lemon bar" and if I had to describe it in words, I would say imagine a lemon cake you get from a coffee shop; imagine the lemon zest flavor of that; take out the cake flavor. That's about what these taste like. I personally like the flavor.As for hydration, I do feel refreshed after drinking these. I've been taking them after workout for recovery, and they seem to speed the recovery process.They mix up nicely without caking or excessive clumping.Pricing seems fair, at $25 for 30 servings.I think these are a good option to try out - they work for me!

I am not one of those straight water drinkers. I need a little flavor and the essential vitamins and electrolytes don’t hurt either. I have tried many different brands and many different flavors. Hydracy ranks pretty high up there.Let’s stay with flavor. My go to flavor is always lemon lime. Tried and true. This flavor is lemon bar. It tastes pretty lemon limey to me. You could tell me it was and I’d believe you. Another must for me is sugar free. Some brands have over 10g of sugar. To me it defeats the purpose. Your body doesn’t need the sugar, it needs the hydration and electrolytes. Hydracy has similar vitamins and electrolytes as other brands, so you’re not missing anything there. Now the biggie…cost. By comparison, Hydracy is cheaper than almost every worthy brand I’ve tried, but it’s not an inferior product. It’s nearly identical to others. So bigly value.Overall, Hydracy is a great product at an excellent price. It’s worth a try. 10/10. I would recommend.

The hydration packets are nice and very mellow tasting. Personally I’m not a fan of stevia or any artificial sweetener, but you don’t taste it too much like other brands. I’m a big fan of Gatorade loose powder just because it’s the smoothest thing I can drink and down. For a hydration drink, compared to other brands this is a lot easier to drink without feeling like you are drinking salt water. My husband has said that it’s pretty good and the flavor is very reminiscent of lemonade. However, he said that even though it’s good, because of its very feminine packaging he couldn’t really see himself opening it up at work. Not sure if he was serious or being a bit of a jerk. I do like that it is made in the US as a plus. I’m not 100% sure on the effects of it being hydration packs but I dig it.

I have a water bottle by Hydracy I love but I had never tried their hydration packets. I've tried a LOT of brands over the years because we do events and Cons where having hydration multipliers is a necessity to stay well hydrated. In general, a lot of them have sugar and if not they have artificial sweeteners that have that terrible too-sweet taste and aftertaste.This is, truly, one of the better 0 sugar hydration packets I've ever had. The flavor is light and pleasantly sweet but not saccharine; I get sort of a "pink lemonade" flavor from it, sort of a soft, less tart lemonade which is why it's called Lemon Bar I guess.It dissolves about as well as any of them; I do have to keep it sort of stirred or sediment settles in the bottom of the glass. If in a jar or bottle it's a non-issue as you can just shake to re-mix. It forms sort of a plain translucent liquid which reassures me it doesn't have any color additives. All in all a great drink mix competitively priced. I would certainly consider re-purchasing!

I LOVE THESE!!!!! I typically can just tolerate hydration packets and I was skeptical of a brand I’ve never heard before. That said…… you gotta buy these. The taste is this perfect light lemon flavor, the ingredients are clean and simple, it dissolves well and quickly, and did I mention it tastes good? I’ve plowed through a decent bit of the package and I have to remind myself not to drink more that one per day. I will absolutely be re ordering when I’m out and trying and other flavors as they become available. The bag seals nicely too to help if any of the packets burst open. The packets are pretty easy to open which is convenient, but I could see how it would be difficult if you were being rough on them or putting them in a sports bag or something. Long story short… THESE ARE SO GOOD! Absolutely worth the price for the size you get!

These hydration packets are a convenient and easy way to stay hydrated throughout the day. The lemon flavor is light and pleasant without being overly sweet, which makes it easy to drink regularly.The powder dissolves quickly, especially when using a milk frother or shaker, leaving no gritty texture behind. It blends smoothly into water for a clean, refreshing drink.It’s also a nice bonus that it’s zero sugar and zero calories, making it a good option for those looking to add electrolytes without extra sweetness.With a generous number of packets included, this is a practical option for daily hydration and offers solid everyday value.

It’s way better than IV and other super salty ones. It tastes like a lemon tums crushed up in your water. I can stomach it, but it’s not exactly “good”.

I’m not kidding when, in my opinion, I say this is one of the best electrolyte powders. I feel qualified to say that because I’ve tried a lot of different brands and flavors, and I’m pretty picky.My favorite so far, and the one I normally use, is Ultima, but I’ve tried a lot to even get there. I’m not a fan of brands like LMNT because they’re way too salty. I’ve also tried ones like SALTT, but it has a weird, sort of slimy feeling on my tongue. I also don’t like any that are sweetened with sugar, for health reasons, but I’m also a Type 1 Diabetic.My husband has been wanting to try some new brands of electrolytes so I thought we’d give this a try.Now we get to the point of this brand and flavor; My husband and I both really love this, and I would be totally honest about that. I don’t care if I was given this for free, I would say if it was disgusting. My husband in particular really likes the taste. It truly tastes like lemonade! Almost like a homemade lemonade with that very slightly sour taste. I don’t particularly like sour but this was just right.I was honestly so delighted that this didn’t have any weird textures too it; None of that weird mouth feel or chalky dust at the bottom. I love Ultima but it does have sediment at the bottom no matter how hard you stir. This fully integrates into the water.Now onto price: Electrolytes tend to be expensive, especially if you buy them in individual packets like this. One packet goes for a quart of water, so if you drink 2-3 of these a day you’ll be through them in 1.5-2 weeks. I haven’t looked to see if they sell this in canisters but electrolytes usually sell cheaper in that form.Overall, I am really impressed by the ingredients and quality of taste and texture and will buy these again. I’m really happy to have found another brand that I actually like.

Great flavor just enough lemon. Love it. Lemon bar is great. Will buy again

This is really good! I’ve tried Liquid IV and I don’t like the taste. I read the label and no wonder - way, way too much sodium for the average person. This has little to no sodium which I really like. The lemon flavor is tasty without being overpowering and really does taste like a lemon bar. It’s zero sugar also which is a big plus - something the other brand isn’t. I’m on a GLP-1 and staying hydrated is very important hence me trying the Liquid IV. I will definitely be purchasing more of this in the future as it has the electrolytes needed but without all the sodium content. Even better is the price point. The other brand is so expensive for how much you get but this package had 30 sticks! Is it still a little pricy? Yes but way better than the other brands. I can’t wait to see what other flavors they release. This one’s a winner for sure!

I picked these up to stay better hydrated during busy workdays and workouts, and they have been a great addition. The lemon flavor is light and refreshing without being overly sweet, which I appreciate since it has zero sugar and zero calories. The individual packets are easy to toss in a bag or keep in the car, making it simple to mix into a water bottle anytime. I like that it includes electrolytes and vitamins, especially on long days or after being out in the heat with the kids. Overall, a convenient and clean way to support daily hydration, great value.
