Hi Kaelan,  
I know the taste of the powder mix is not great. But it is fast!

There is an easy way to use maltodextrin. Have you ever used GU energy gels? The first ingredient is maltodextrin. They have a wide variety of different flavors. Check them out:

> **[GU Energy | Supplements & Nutrition for Athletes](https://guenergy.com/)**
>
> The Intersection of energy, hydration and recovery. GU has what your body needs to go longer and farther. Shop our Gels, Chews, Drinks, Waffles, Capsules, Gear & More.

They are very fast and not as bad as the powder.

BTW,  
It was decided that you were the winner of this a while ago:

I just sent the gift card to your dad’s email address, so don’t let him get away with it!

Amazon has GU energy gels if you want to try them.
