Recommendation
Powerade Berry Blast is a great option if you’re looking for a beverage that helps replenish electrolytes and provide hydration, especially if you’re engaging in physical activity or need a quick energy boost. The added sodium and potassium can help replace electrolytes lost through sweat, making it more suitable for athletes or those in need of hydration after exercise.
However, it’s important to note that Powerade contains 34 grams of sugar per 20 oz serving, which is primarily from high fructose corn syrup and dextrose. This makes it a sugary beverage, so it may not be the best choice if you’re trying to limit your sugar intake.
If you’re simply looking for a refreshing, flavored drink to complement your meal, it pairs well with hearty dishes like Orange Chicken, Kung Pao Chicken, or Beijing Beef, as the sweet, berry flavor contrasts nicely with savory and spicy foods.
If you’re watching your sugar intake or trying to avoid sugary drinks, you may want to opt for Coke Zero or another lower-sugar beverage instead.
Please Note: Prices may vary by location, size, and local pricing policies. Generally, you can expect it for a standard size. For the most accurate pricing, it’s best to check the Panda Express Mobile App or visit a local store.
