Save money and avoid artificial ingredients by making your own homemade natural sports drink recipe with electrolytes. Endless options to make a flavor you love!
Ingredients
- 1 quart liquid such as green tea herbal teas, coconut water, or plain water
- ⅛ -1/4 tsp Himalayan salt
- 1 tsp calcium magnesium powder
- ¼ cup or more 100% juice optional
- 1-2 TBSP sweetener such as honey or stevia optional. I suggest brewing stevia leaf into the base liquid for the most natural option
Instructions
- Brew tea if using, or slightly warm base liquid.
- Add sea salt and calcium magnesium and mix.
- If using, add juice and sweetener and mix or shake well.
- Cool and store in refrigerator until ready to use.
- Will last up to four days in refrigerator, but I prefer to make as needed.
Notes
My normal recipe includes 1 quart of tea (brewed with red raspberry leaf, alfalfa, nettle and Stevia), ¼ tsp sea salt, 1 tsp calcium magnesium powder, and ¼ cup grape or apple juice. Can make half a batch or less if needed.
When I’m not at home to make this, I carry pre-made electrolyte packets. I like the brand LMNT (the citrus sea salt tastes amazing!).
