Do-it-yourself Cherry Limeade Gatorade is a incredible option to exchange electrolytes and it’s freed from any preservatives or meals dyes.

Sadly, most gatorade drinks include elements equivalent to sugar, dextrose (often created from GMO corn), synthetic flavors and meals dyes. That doesn’t sound like the easiest way to nourish the physique after a tough exercise.
After I was considering of discovering a pure gatorade alternative, I known as my brother, Erik Korem, who’s a director for the NY Jets and he stated this the proper substitute. On this recipe, we’re utilizing simply pure fruit juice, sea salt, uncooked honey and filtered water!
The Celtic sea salt goes to supply over 80 totally different minerals which is a good way to exchange electrolytes.
This recipe is in a focus type, so you may hold a batch of it within the fridge after which add 1-2 teaspoons to eight ounces of water. You’ll be able to add additional lime if you happen to’d wish to bump up the flavour!
