Sicknesses are going around and it’s more important than ever to stay hydrated. As someone who has been avoiding processed sugars for a long time now (they trigger migraines amongst other things for me), it’s shocking to me that doctors are actually recommending sports drinks like Gatorade that are literally filled with processed sugar, dyes, and “natural flavors” amongst other things. They may have electrolytes and supposedly be helpful for hydration but those processed sugars and additives have other negative effects on the body and how you mentally feel - so I’ve come up with a simple, cheap, and healthy homemade alternative to make at home when you’re sick or need a boost after strenuous physical activity! This is perfect for anyone on any diet as it is clean, raw vegan, with minimal ingredients- but it sure does the job in hydrating and making you feel better!
Homemade electrolyte drink
Ingredients:
Filtered Water
1 lemon
1 lime
Pinch of salt
Teaspoon of agave or maple syrup
Directions:
Simply fill up a glass or jar with clean filtered water. Add the juice of one lemon, and one lime**. Add a teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of your choice of natural sweetener. Stir and enjoy!
**Alternatively, you can use the juice of any fresh fruits and veggies, but citrus is easily accessible and very simple to juice without a juicer or fancy equipment - just cut and squeeze it!
