Sport Electrolyte Drink Mix
DIY recovery drink mix
Ingredients:
- 3⁄4 tsp morton® lite salt
- 1 pkt unsweetened drink mix
- 10 Tbsp sugar or sugar substitute of choice
Instructions:
Mix the powders together.
Add to 2 Liters of cold water (a hydration bladder worth).
Notes:
Stats for an 8 oz serving: 14.2 grams carbohydrate, 53 calories, 103 mg Sodium, 121 mg Potassium.
You’ll notice that the amount of potassium is quite a bit higher than Gatorade®, but the rest is pretty close. If you wanted to reduce the potassium, another option would be to use ½ tsp. each of regular salt and the Morton® Lite Salt. This would change it to: 104mg sodium, 40mg potassium. If you use sugar substitutes, the calories will be much lower. If drinking out of a hydration bladder sugar can cause growth in the tubing in hot weather, consider using Stevia or similar to avoid this.
