GUElectrolyte drink recipe⬇️
Skip the blue 1, artificial flavors, and mystery ingredients. You don’t need that to support your body’s hydration.
You need simple ingredients to make a real electrolyte drink. Water, citrus, baking soda, salt, and honey! That’s it.
Seriously, go read the ingredients on these “hydration” drinks…it’s scary. And to think, these drinks are handed out like candy at kids’ sports games to keep them hydrated during exercise 😵
Wild how they have trained us hydration comes from a plastic bottle or a mystery bottle on the shelf.
NOPE! Here is a simple recipe I make, especially iced in the summers…SO GOOD!
3 cups water
1 orange, juiced
1 lemon, juiced (you can do either or like 2 oranges or 2 lemons or mix and match. I even do limes a lot)
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons honey
Combine and shake! I always sprinkle more salt in as it cuts through the bitterness of the citrus, but test this and adjust to your taste! It tastes like an orange popsicle to me. So good when you are wanting a refreshing drink and water is not cutting it!
The citrus adds potassium and minerals that help support hydration and electrolyte balance. Baking soda can help detox while supporting fluid balance. Sea salt replaces sodium and trace minerals that are lost through sweat and helps your body hold onto water properly. And raw honey adds a small amount of natural glucose that helps your intestines absorb the electrolytes more efficiently.
Let me know what you think!
