What’s Greater Than This?

by Jenny Muslin – August 24, 2010

With all the sports drinks on the market, what’s a healthy, Cheeky girl to choose?

So many people are drinking coconut water for its high potassium and hydrating qualities, but coconut water alone does not give you enough electrolytes and hydration. I recently spoke to Mark and Jon Sider, Chicago brothers who have created an incredible sports drink called Greater > Than.

Mark and Jon were fed up with all the sugary, artificial, chemically formulated drinks on the market so they decided to actually do something about it. The result is Greater > Than, a drink that is completely all natural. It’s sweetened with stevia and beet sugar as opposed to tons of additives. Powered by coconut water, G>T also includes ingredients to help you hydrate and perform your best while working out. I’ve even heard a few people tell me that the electrolytes in G > T make it a perfect hangover cure.

Mark and Jon worked with top nutritionists and sports scientists to create this low calorie drink, but they didn’t want to skimp on taste. G > T comes in three yummy flavors: lemon lime, tropical and orange. I love the lemon lime, which tastes like a fruity Sprite.  G > T recently launched in Chicago and will soon expand to other states. You can also purchase product on the G > T website.

So, what’s behind the name Greater > Than? Mark and Jon believe that you should never settle for less and that includes what you put in your body.  Be greater than in all that you do!

G > T averages around $2.50 a bottle and is available at: East Bank Club, Olivia’s Market, Goddess & Grocer, Lincoln Park Market, Freshii, Alberto’s Running Right, Sunset Foods and EFT Sports Performance.  Drink up!
