Absolutely loving the Hydroboost carb+! Keeping me fuelled for all my sessions especially the engine pieces!
Product details
Carb+ is a drink mix for long or early training sessions. You mix one scoop with water and sip it as you train. Each scoop gives you carbs for energy and electrolytes to replace what you sweat out.
What this does for you
Keep your energy up to the end of the session.
Long or hard training uses up the carbs your muscles store for energy. Carb+ tops them up while you train, so you still have energy for the back end of your session.
You could eat more beforehand, but a big meal before an early session is hard to fit in, and solid food sits heavy once you start moving. A drink is easier. Mix a scoop before you start and keep sipping.
Gels and lollies give you carbs on their own. Carb+ puts 21g of carbs in your water bottle with electrolytes, so one drink covers both, with just 1.8g of sugar.
“When do I drink it?”
Start sipping just before you train and keep going through the session. It suits long or hard sessions, and early ones when a big meal beforehand is hard to fit in.
“How is it different from Hydroboost?”
Hydroboost is our hydration drink. Both have electrolytes and the amino acids BCAAs and EAAs. Hydroboost adds coconut water and suits during and after training. Carb+ adds 21g of carbs a serve, for energy before and during training.
“Do I need both?”
No. Pick Carb+ when you want energy from carbs, like on long or early sessions. Pick Hydroboost when you mainly want to rehydrate, during and after training.
“How does the $20 saving work?”
Buy any two tubs from our Hydroboost range and save $20: two Carb+, two Hydroboost or one of each, in any flavours. For two of the same Carb+ flavour, choose 2 tubs above. The $20 comes off in your cart automatically, so there is no code to type. It applies once an order, and extra tubs are full price.

Why a CrossFit coach drinks her carbs
“Because I train early in the morning, getting a big amount of food/carbs in beforehand just doesn’t work for me, so I spread my fuel across the session instead.”
“For long, high-intensity sessions, I’ve learnt that fueling during training matters just as much as what I eat beforehand, especially when I’m asking my body to lift heavy, move fast and keep performing for a few hours.”
Isabella Vallejo, CrossFit coach and athlete
