What are the best sports drinks for CrossFit athletes in 2026?
CrossFit athletes need sports drinks that deliver 500–700 mg sodium per serving, 10–15 g fast-acting carbs, and meaningful potassium to offset the sweat loss and glycogen depletion from high-intensity, multi-modal WODs. Top picks include Fast Pickle for pre-WOD sodium loading, LMNT for clean electrolyte repletion, and Gatorade Endurance for intra-WOD fuel.
