Powdered Drink Mix

[garbanz]

Looking for a powdered drink mix to supply both Calcium and Vitamin C on a thru. Something low on sugar and sodium and not real heavy on other vitamins and minerals. Just want the Calcium and Vitamin C. Vitamin C's not stable to heat so the drink mix would be for cold drinks or added to cold breakfast cereal. Any ideas?

Tang is my favorite. Plenty of what you're looking for. Developed by NASA for astronauts.

Not exactly what you looked for but, for your consideration anyhow. I was concerned about protein along with several trace minerals as my meds have the effect of flushing out some of my essential electrolites. I chose GNC amplified muscle meal. A pouch throughout the day yeilds, among other things. 55% calcium, 25% vita C, 25% magnesium, 30% sodium and best of all 50gm of protein. and only 5 gm of sugar. mixed it in water to drink, in with the oatmeal, and yes I made some chocolate flavored mashed potatoes to finish up the pouch at the end of the day. There are certainly other powders to mix. I'm open to suggestions as this is kind of heavy.

Tang orange flavored sugarless is close to what Im looking for. Its 100% RDA Vitamin C, no sugar, low salt, and doesnt contain alot of other stuff Im not looking for. However its only 2% RDA Calcium. If there's nothing else I could use it for the Vitamin C and powdered milk for the Calcium. Just thought maybe I could find one thing that has both. Maybe its better I dont since Calcium is heat stable and could be added to hot stuff.

I don't like flavored drink mix, so I just take an S!Cap pill from Succeed.

Emergen-C Lite has the Vitamin C mix Im looking for without the sugar. Anybody use Breakfast Essentails for the Calcium?
