Thanks for helping out in a bind. And so much better than store bought! Hi Peggy! Thank you so much for coming back to let me know! That makes my day to hear! Hope you all are on the mend today! And we also did dry brushing and simple detox baths. At one […]. Thanks for joining us […]. Is the lemon juice from concentrate in a bottle effective at all for this type of use? Does that make sense?
Then I dumped in a small amount of sea salt and some cane sugar then shook it like crazy. The only additions that could have improved this? That said, I think the combination of our formulas would be far more replenishing than anything commonly available in the market or at a medical center.
Similar to my quick, shake up homemade electrolyte drink, these popsicles can help keep kids hydrated and balanced while ill and not eating […]. Would taking this during excercise not upset your tummy with the vitamin c effect in lemon. Hi Stitch! We made a drink almost just like this when I was in labor.
This looks yummy! Much better than Gatorade. My little 3 year old had a tummy bug last week and she loved this. Thank you!! She kept asking for her special lemonade. When needed, give them a homemade electrolyte drink or even a popsicle to replace vital […].
How much and how often should I drink this? Can you use table or kosher salt? Also if the little one throws this up is it worth it to keep trying? You could do a tiny sip of this if they are thirsty. Thanks for this.. I just made this a half hour ago, and I already feel better. I used what I had on hand which was water, lime juice, Himalayan sea salt and some apple cider vinegar.
This is a great recipe but i was still having hydration issyso a friend mentioned adding a Tablespoon of a healthy Gelatin to it and wowee that made all the difference. My body actually holds and absorbes it so im not instantly eliminating after ive drank it. My question is: is honey essential to get the full electrolyte effect? What is honeys role in achieving this electrolyte status? Thanks i know this is an old thread, i hope you are still servicing this. Hi Carrie! The Raw Honey has enzymes that are helpful to the gut, but it also makes the drink more palatable for little ones.
The sea salt is going to help with the electrolytes. Hi Shamelle! You can drink it hot or cold! Is the honey a necessary ingredient for replenishing electrolytes or is it more for taste? There is a purpose for the raw honey in some quick burning energy fuel for sick kids or athletes. Raw honey also has healing enzymes and an abundance of minerals good for all bodies. Loved this recipe and a much better alternative to pedialyte for my LO whose had a tummy bug.
I added fresh orange, along with the lemon and it was a success! Is the honey necessary or is it only added for flavor? I have a difficult time with sugars of any sort. The raw honey is good electrolyte replenishment as well, but you certainly could leave it out and just rely on the sea salt for electrolytes. In the case of a sick child or athletes the quick carbs of the honey are helpful as well. If anyone is concerned with tooth enamel erosion use a straw.
So happy I found this post. I was getting a bit tired of paying way too much for powdered commercial electrolytes. Thank you so much, Renee, for this. Out of lemons, but used a lime instead. This tasted better than I expected! Just the right amount of salty and sweetness from the honey. I found this recipe and it tasted really good. Thanks Feeling better already!!

Try this Homemade Electrolyte Drink. Prep Time 5 mins. Total Time 5 mins. Course: Drinks. Cuisine: American.
Keyword: homemade energy drink, homemade sports drink. Servings: 2 servings. Here's what goes into most sports drinks, and how to adapt these ingredients for a low-carb diet.
Of course, a major ingredient in sports drinks is water. After all, the goal is to hydrate you. Sports drinks have quite a lot of sugar, but interestingly they have only about half the sugar of most other commercial beverages.
One ounce bottle of Gatorade has about 34 grams of sugar, while a ounce soda has about 69 grams of sugar. Sports drinks have less sugar to prevent athletes from gastrointestinal cramping during exercise. But although Gatorade contains less sugar than soda, depending on your goals, it may not be the best choice for you. The issue of nutritional needs during exercise for people who are restricting carbohydrates has not been extensively studied.
We do know that when people cut carbs, their bodies do change from using primarily carbohydrate for energy to using fat for energy, although it can take two to three weeks for the body to make this change this is called keto-adaptation. We know that native populations such as the Inuit, who traditionally ate a very low-carbohydrate diet, were and are able to maintain vigorous endurance exercise for long periods without apparent ill effect. However, cutting carbohydrates too drastically and quickly can lead to uncomfortable symptoms the " keto flu ".
Depending on the type of exercise you do, a lower-carbohydrate diet may or may not be beneficial. In most cases, it is unlikely that you would need extra carbohydrate during a moderate exercise session. However, for longer, more vigorous workouts such as a run that lasts more than an hour , you may need to replace carbohydrates during training. In addition, what you eat before and after you exercise can also affect your performance. If you are looking to achieve specific fitness goals, working with a registered dietitian would be helpful.
