The Creatine + Electrolytes Line Expands with a Lemonade Collection

— August 25, 2026 — Lifestyle
Create is expanding its 'Creatine + Electrolytes Mix' line with the introduction of 'The Lemonade Collection,' featuring 'Strawberry,' 'Raspberry,' 'Peach,' and 'Classic Lemonade' flavors. Designed to combine supplementation with familiar fruit-forward flavors, "each single-serve stick contains 5g of creatine, 800mg of electrolytes, and 1,000mg of taurine."

As a result, the mixes bring multiple functional ingredients together in a convenient powdered format intended to support active lifestyles. In addition to expanding the range with lemonade-inspired varieties, the collection complements Create’s existing 'Passionfruit,' 'Watermelon,' and 'Lemon Lime' options. Furthermore, the single-serve format offers a portable approach to incorporating creatine and electrolytes into daily routines.

The Lemonade Collection will be available directly through Create and on Amazon, with consumers able to select between 15-count and 30-count pouches. Overall, the launch broadens the brand’s functional beverage portfolio through flavor variety and convenient formats.
