​ Make your own sports drink

By - Ted Escobedo 8 months ago

If you are looking for a more natural approach to hydration after a workout, try making your own ‘Gatorade.’ The benefits are just as good (if not better), and you know exactly what’s in it!
Ingredients
8 cups fresh cold water, divided
3 tablespoons honey
½ teaspoon fine Himalayan pink salt
¾ teaspoon calcium magnesium powder (Optional)
1 pinch cayenne pepper
¾ cup freshly squeezed orange juice, strained
2 medium lemons, juiced
2 medium limes, juiced
Directions
• Pour 1 cup of the water into a large pot. Add honey, salt, calcium magnesium powder, and cayenne. Place pot over low heat and whisk until ingredients have dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to return to room temperature.
• Add juices to room temperature mixture in pot. Pour in remaining 7 cups water and whisk until well blended.
