I finally caved and got some prewrap for my feet.
Whilst at the store I saw that they had these:
So I picked one up to try tonight...YUK! It tasted like I was sucking the inside out of a raspberry filled doughnut, without the tasty doughnut part. The texture grossed me out the most, very wet and goopy. Booger-like. The package said to drink water after eating (slurping?) this, and I thought: 'Why not just skip the gel and drink some gangsta'aid?' Its the SAME THING.'
I also got one of these to try tomorrow:

Which is basically the same thing only in gummy form. Perhaps it will be less gross? *Fingers crossed*
On a happier note here are some recipes y'all have been asking for:
GANGSTA-AID
2 packets unsweetened Kool-Aid (flavor is up to you, I like grape)
7 tablespoons sugar (use regular table sugar, not sugar in the raw, it doesn't dissolve well)
1 tablespoon Sea salt (Use sea salt if you have it, it has potassium in it which helps you muscles recover, if you don't have any, just use kosher salt)
Mix, store in a labeled container, add a few tablespoons to your workout water and there you go!
I keep trying to double this recipe and freeze half, but they barely make it a day in my house.
Note: this is a GREAT way to use up little bits of dried fruit or nuts you have lying around the house, don't be shy about adding or subtracting things!
