It&#8217;s arguably the most served beverage at sporting events, but many parents are not fans of it. The traditional G Series is often thought to be high in sugar, and in answer to this, Gatorade created a lower sugar version, called G2. This beverage wasn&#8217;t a perfect fit for many families, however, in that it&#8217;s sweetened with <strong><a title=\"sucralose\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/03\/satisfy-a-sweet-craving-on-a-diet\/\">sucralose<\/a><\/strong>. Many families desire natural foods and beverages and Gatorade has created a new line of performance beverages to please the most discerning of athletes.<\/p>\n<p>Called G Series Natural, the beverage is part of the Perform level, designed to be enjoyed while exercising. G Series Natural replenishes lost fluids and <strong><a title=\"electrolytes\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/05\/when-and-what-to-eat-before-exercise\/\">electrolytes<\/a><\/strong> exactly the  same as traditional Gatorade. Containing only sea salt, natural flavors and natural sweeteners, this beverage meets the needs of athletes who don&#8217;t want <strong><a title=\"artificial colors and dyes \" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/04\/natural-alternatives-to-potentially-dangerous-artificial-food-dyes\/\">artificial colors<\/a><\/strong> or sweeteners. G Series Natural is sweetened with sucrose and dextrose and has 50 calories per serving. For a lower calorie, yet still natural choice, G2 Natural is sweetened with <strong><a title=\"Stevia: A Sweet Sugar Substitute\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/04\/stevia-a-sweet-sugar-substitute\/\">Stevia<\/a><\/strong>, and has 20 calories per serving. Each bottle contains 2 servings. (Always read the label!)<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>When I tried these beverages, I was pleasantly surprised. The flavors are light and leave no after taste. They were refreshing and I could see myself enjoying them after a strenuous workout.<\/p>\n<p>Gatorade Naturals are only offered at Whole Foods in select cities in berry and orange flavors.<\/p>\n<p><em>While Gatorade provided Carmen with product for review, this review  remains her own opinion and has not been influenced in any way.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gatorade is a well known beverage, served at sports events everywhere, from preschool sports games to professional events.
