Two Minnesota dads {Jesse and John} were frustrated by the empty calories and “junk” being consumed by their children and marketed as “sports drinks.” They tried to push water as the best form of hydration, but realized that most athletes want and believe they need more. Convinced there had to be a better way, they decided to create an alternative sports drink that would actually hydrate and nourish athletes.
Jesse and John worked with a team of food scientists, doctors, coaches, athletes, and trainers to achieve their mission “to create a natural sports drink that is better for your health, better for your performance, and better tasting.” They developed ASPIRE natural sports drinks, in five great flavors {cherry-berry, lemon-lime, grape, blue raspberry, and orange}. More than great tasting, ASPIRE beverages contain the ingredients that parents can feel good about giving their children.
ASPIRE beverages are free from artificial flavors, colors, and preservatives. ASPIRE is sweetened with natural low-carbohydrate and low sugar sweeteners that have a negligible effect on blood glucose. ASPIRE beverages contain core electrolytes that keep fluids balanced and body functions strong and stable. ASPIRE contains high-quality antioxidants to support the strength and stamina of athletes. ASPIRE contains 100% of daily recommended allowances of B vitamins to support fitness and improve cholesterol levels. ASPIRE also contains beneficial minerals including calcium for strong healthy bones, and zinc to support growth, healing, and a strong immune system.
