I always think about making my own gatorade when my kid wakes up puking in the middle of night. No time, so I reach for the gatorade. Although, sugar is part of an electrolyte drink, there are smarter options rather than using high fructose corn syrup and color dyes. I finally started making my own electrolyte drinks when I had a little downtime. I am preparing some today for my son. He is having an adenoidectomy tomorrow so I want to make sure ,if all he can swallow is liquid, that it is really able to rehydrate him. I make 2 kinds. A lemon lime one and a berry one. Both are tasty. But, don't be expecting a gatorade taste. With 2 tbsp. of honey, these are not very sweet. They are best served cold. I suppose you could pour these into popscile molds and make ice pops as well.
Lemon Lime Drink
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 cups water
1/8 tsp. himilayan sea salt
2 tbsp. honey
Blend in blender and store in large canning jars
Berry Drink
2 cups coconut water
2 cups water
1 cup crushed ice
1 cup fresh or frozen berries (any type)
1/8 tsp. sea salt
2 tbsp. honey
Blend in blender and store in large canning jars
