Mocktails, say Hello to BCAA’s.
Introducing the fruity and fizzy Watermelon Amino Fizz. This sweet and sparkling drink puts a fun spin on a traditional cocktail – minus the alcohol. The foundation of this recipe combines Beyond Raw® Precision BCAA Watermelon with three types of water – flat, sparkling, and coconut water. This water trio isn’t just for taste, it’s for the benefits. Coconut water is a natural source of electrolytes to help replenish what you lose in sweat, the sparkling water adds fizz for a bit of bubbly, and the flat water is just flat out hydrating!
Beyond Raw Precision BCAA provides just 25 calories and a whopping 10g of BCAAs in every 2-scoop serving, including 5g of leucine to fuel skeletal muscles. It also provides BetaPower®, a type of betaine that has been clinically studied and shown to enhance athletic performance. Betaine supports improvements in power (or the ability to exert as much force in the shortest amount of time).
If you really want to push your performance in the gym, the recipe has an optional ingredient: Creatine monohydrate! Add this to the shaker if you’re looking for help with muscle protein synthesis and ATP production, the energy you need for fast and intense exercise.
With the high dose of BCAAs blended with electrolytes and creatine, this mocktail is truly a powerhouse for post-exercise recovery.
