Description
TORQ Energy Organic is made from an ingredient called maltodextrin, often referred to as a glucose polymer. The molecular profile of a glucose polymer optimizes the long-term energy-providing properties of complex carbohydrates, with low osmolality in the gut and without the need to consume bulky starchy foods.
TORQ Energy Organic can simply be mixed with water (1 scoop per 250ml) to create an organic unflavored energy drink and this is incredibly popular with people who don't like strong flavors but realize they need to hydrate themselves during exercise and to provide fuel.
Besides functioning as a tasteless energy drink, this product has many more uses. Torq Energy Organic, often referred to as 'the invisible calorie' by our customers and performance coaches, is the ideal product for increasing carbohydrate intake at times when the body is under high exercise stress or you need a carb load to peak for an event. Sometimes (training camps or stage races for example) it is simply impossible to consume the amount of carbohydrate calories needed and TORQ Energy Organic makes this challenge so much easier. This can be achieved in several ways:
*Make a rich energy drink: Because TORQ Energy Organic is practically tasteless, it is possible to mix a highly concentrated energy drink and, if desired, add a little juice concentrate (pumpkin) to flavor it. TORQ Energy has the density of sugar, but doesn't come close to the sweetness or osmolality in the gut, making high concentrations of carbohydrates easy to handle.
*Add to tea, coffee or soup: Again, the tasteless nature of TORQ Energy Organic provides a very high degree of versatility. Significant amounts of powder can be added to tea, coffee and soups with a barely recognizable effect on the taste. With soups, TORQ Energy Organic can actually increase the flavor and add extra thickness/body.
*Add to sauces, porridge or custard: At TORQ we call it 'Bionic Custard' because regular custard is quite high in carbs anyway, but add a few scoops of TORQ Energy Organic to your serving and it will taste even better and improve texture. Similarly, this powder can be added to savory sauces that you would normally have with rice or pasta, where the product really lives up to its 'invisible calorie' reputation.
*Add to any sweet or savory recipe: Whether you're making pies, flapjacks or pancakes, there's always room to squeeze in some extra energy. Just add some TORQ Energy Organic to the recipe - no need to change it and with a little practice you can fine-tune the right amount.
*Sprinkle on everything: Whether it's your cereal or a curry, the limit is in your imagination!
Use of the product
*All sachets come with a scoop.
1 level scoop of TORQ Energy Organic contains 15 grams of powder, which corresponds to 60 kCals of carbohydrates.
If you are making a tasteless energy drink, add 1 level scoop of TORQ Energy Organic per 250 ml of water. For a 500ml bottle it would be 2 scoops and for a 750ml bottle it would be 3 and so on. This creates an isotonic mix, but you can experiment with stronger mixes in cooler weather when hydration isn't as important. If desired, add some fruit juice concentrate (pumpkin) to flavor your drink. Always add powder to water and never add water to powder. Half fill the bottle with water, add the powder, shake well while having an air space, then top up with water and shake again. TORQ Energy Organic is now ready to drink.
If you are using TORQ Energy Organic as an invisible calorie to increase the carbohydrate content of drinks/foods, we will let you experiment, but for best results, remember to add the powder to water if you are making a strong energy drink. With hot drinks and other heated recipes, it will blend easily when stirred.
*TORQ Energy Drinks are VEGAN
