New TORQ apple crumble energy gel, cookies & cream recovery drink
Tempting new dessert-based flavour apparently took over two years to develop, while cookies & cream recovery drink 'reminiscent of milkshakes and liquidised biscuits'
Ever feel a bit bored by the usual energy gels and drink flavours? TORQ wants to change all that, and has released three new products all at once to convince you: an apple crumble-flavoured energy gel, natural blackcurrant energy drink and a cookies & cream recovery drink.
The new apple crumble gel apparently took over two years to develop, and is functionally identical to other TORQ gels, using 2:1 maltodextrin to fructose ratios to deliver a claimed 90grams of carbohydrate absorption per hour. A box of 20 costs £27.40.
The natural blackcurrant energy drink again uses TORQ’s 2:1 Maltodextrin:Fructose formulation and all-natural flavourings, and is claimed to offer athletes something fruity, yet milder than the citrus alternatives they already produce. A 500g tub costs £13.99.
Finally, the cookies & cream recovery drink is described as similar in flavour to a milkshake that tastes of liquidated biscuits. There ends any similarity to a milkshake though, because it offers a 3:1 carbohydrate to whey protein ratio, along with multiple-transportable carbohydrates (maltodextrin, lactose, galactose and fructose). A 500g tub costs £19.99. More info on all products at www.torqfitness.co.uk.
