Homemade Gatorade
When you sweat, you lose electrolytes, which are critical to your muscle function and overall hydration levels. Electrolytes also help your body regulate chemical reactions and conduct electrical charges, which is how your muscles contract, so ensuring proper electrolyte levels is essential to your performance on the trail, court, track, or wherever you find yourself sweating this summer!
Popular sports drinks like Gatorade, replenish electrolytes in the form of salt, but also are packed with unhealthy sugars in an attempt to provide readily available glucose energy.
Instead, try our homemade Gatorade (we’ve dubbed it “Electrolade”), which is made with naturally occurring honey sugars as well as pure sea salt or Himalayan salt.
INGREDIENTS
- 4 cups water
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 3 Tbs raw honey
- 1/4 tsp pink Himalayan salt, or pure sea salt
PREPARATION
- Pour into blender, pulse to combine, and chill in fridge for 2 hours or more.
- Enjoy after sweaty summer hikes and workouts!
