Review: Power Ice

Yesterday after work I headed out with the Athens Running Company for one of their (back-to-) regular Thursday evening group runs. They did these for a while, then stopped, but now they're back! I've been struggling with motivation towards the end of this Run Streak, so I figured a group run was a great opportunity to ensure I went more than a mile on a hot, hot evening, and to avoid the treadmill at the same time. Success.

However, running at 6:30 in the afternoon also has its challenges - namely, that little thing called summer. You know, 90+ degrees and 90+% humidity. Gross. Count me out, mkay?

Maybe I should have stuck with the treadmill. Lucky for me, I got some frozen treats to make this heat-ridden time of year a little more bearable. We all know I'll run for anything frozen - popsicles, ice cream, ice-pops, daiquiris... you name it, I'm game.

Yes, that includes running to Baskin Robbins.

At any rate, my super awesome new friends at Power Ice sent me some samples to try a few weeks ago - I was super excited to finally try them because they've been taunting me in my freezer. I got to try two sweet flavors - Lime Kicker and Orange Blast. I've never been a fan of anything artificially orange, so I'll say that first as a disclaimer.

But these things were tasty! They recommend eating one 15-20 minutes before your activity and as soon after as possible to aid in cool down. I ate one on the way to meeting up for the run, and one as soon as I got home... 

So why is frozen so good for you? Does this mean I get to go eat ice cream before and after I run? Well I can't afford such things but I would love to inhale a BR double-scoop cone every day. Since I can't, I'll stick with these for now.

And best yet, these guys have only 30 calories a pop, aren't laced with caffeine and are gluten-free and kosher. Sounds like a good deal to me.

And now... lucky for you, they've let me decide to do what I want with my awesome stash of Power Ice. While I'd love to hoard them for myself, I decided to split each pack and send you your own 6-pack (three of each flavor) to try for yourself!
