Biosteel Taste Taste

In episode 64, Denise leads the pirates in another taste test! This time we sampled Biosteel Sports Drinks

About Biosteel 

Biosteel is a clean, sugar-free sports drink loaded with electrolytes. It's clean, no added sugar, and sustainably packaged!

According to the Biosteel website, it is the "most purchased product in North American pro sports." It's the official Sports Drink of the U.S. Soccer Federation, USA Hockey, and the Professional Women's Hockey Players Association. Pro-athletes like Patrick Mahomes (Kansas City Chiefs) and Jalen Ramsey (Los Angeles Rams) endorse the product. 

About Electrolytes

Electrolytes  like Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Magnesium and Calcium play an important role in our bodies. They help to balance fluid levels, maintain blood pressure, and support the function of our nerves, muscles, and organs. 

According to eatingwell.com, most of us don't need to to supplement our electrolytes on a regular basis IF we are eating healthy foods and drinking enough water (Tip: Look for clear/pale yellow urine). However, there are times when a Biosteel Sports Drink could be in order! Here are a few examples: 

  • When you are in extreme heat 
  • After an intense workout
  • When you are sick (vomiting/diarrhea)
  • When you need a hangover remedy 
The Verdict

We sampled three flavors: mixed berry, rainbow twist, and white freeze. Overall, the mixed berry was the pirate fave, and we plan to add it to our grocery shopping lists! We also found a new goal... Getting our Pirate Podcast logo listed on the Biosteel Athletes & Partners page! (@Biosteel... How do you feel about being our first podcast sponsor??)

The 2022 Life List

It's tradition! On the first episode of every year, we create our PIRATE LIFE LIST - A list of adventures we will commit to taking in the coming year.

According to Chris Guillebeau, "A good life list is an anchor. It grounds you in your purpose, gives you hopes and dreams for the future, and helps you understand more about yourself." Our annual life list definitely keeps us dreaming, laughing, and stepping outside our comfort zones! 

Chris G. says creating a life lift helps us to, "identify the activities that help us to be more alive." They need to be specific and measurable. But it's important to have fun in the process - dream BIG!

Here are a few a questions to consider as you begin to draft your list:
  • What do I dream of learning?
  • What do I dream of doing?
  • What do I dream of creating?
  • Where do I dream of going?
  • Who do I dream of meeting?
  • What financial goals do I dream of reaching?
  • What career milestones do I dream of achieving?
Still need inspiration? Check out these life lists from Mighty Girl and Bucket List Journey/Annette White.


Here's our list for 2022:
