Diy Electrolyte Sports Drink

Sea salt is full of electrolytes and minerals. Plus it “plays an important role of balancing the stress hormones during exercise. Salt reduces adrenaline levels and supports overall metabolic health.” (source)

Trace mineral drops add to the electrolyte content of the drink. Due to soil depletion many of us do not get enough trace minerals in our diet, so I supplement with this regularly.

Freshly pressed juices such as lemon, lime, and orange contain vitamins, enzymes and easily digestible sugars that help maintain energy during a workout, then help speed recovery afterwards.

subheading: Orange Twist Sports Drink:

3 to 4 cups water (depending on the concentration you prefer)

¾ cup freshly squeezed orange juice (about 2 to 3 oranges)

¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

¼ teaspoon celtic sea salt or real salt

2 tablespoons raw honey or maple syrup (or more to taste)

a few drops of Concentrace minerals drops (optional)

subheading: Coconut & Lime Sports Drink:

3 cups coconut water

1 cup water (or more, based on how strong you prefer the flavor to be)

½ cup freshly squeezed lime juice (lemon is delicious too!)

¼ teaspoon celtic sea salt or real salt

2 tablespoons raw honey or maple syrup (or more to taste)

a few drops of Concentrace minerals drops (optional)

subheading: Herbal Cooler:

4 cups herbal tea (Citrus flavored teas taste best in my opinion. I use the tablespoons of the “Kool Aid” alternative from this post)

2 to 4 tablespoons raw honey or maple syrup

¼ teaspoon celtic sea salt or real salt

a few drops of Concentrace minerals drops (optional)

subheading: Lemon Sports Drink:

4 cups filtered water

½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

¼ teaspoon celtic sea salt or real salt

¼ cup raw honey (or more to taste)

a few drops of Concentrace minerals drops (optional)

subheading: Instructions:

Mix all ingredients together and store in fridge. I’ve found that when I make batches with honey - which is naturally antimicrobial - and store in the coldest part of the fridge it lasts for at least a week.
