Tried and tested: Powerbar shots and sports drink in a short test - Powerbar power gummies and sports cocktail in a practical test

Something different: the Powergel shots are gummy sweets with carbohydrates - each shot contains around five grams of carbohydrates and around 23 kilocalories. The orange-flavoured soft gums have a pleasantly fruity taste, and those who suck them get more out of them. The bag of nine sweets costs 1.50 euros.

If you are working on losing weight, "5Electrolytes" could be the right sports drink for you. The effervescent tablets are practically calorie-free, but contain a useful mineral mix. One tablet turns 0.5 or 0.75 litres of water into a quietly fizzy sports drink at the start; the blackcurrant and lemon plus caffeine variants we tried have a pleasantly fruity and slightly sweet taste. The price for a tube of ten tablets: 4.95 euros.
