My Flight Pack by ERW is a powdered drink mix system that's been developed to combat the effects of travel fatigue, which can leave travelers feeling off their game for days. The products are available in three different kinds of easy-to-use, single-serve sachets in Mango and Citrus, Black Tea and Lemon and Spiced Chai flavors, each with a different functional benefit.
While one drink is designed to be refreshing, another is relaxing and the third provides a boost of energy. Some of the key ingredients in the products are ultra-concentrated freeze-dried fruit powders and adaptogenic herbs.
The innovative drink mix system was developed in part by a Danish chef with experience cooking for professional athletes.
