Today we will learn how to make a refreshing and electrifying drink that will spark our energy and replenish our electrolytes to have the energy to get things done.
This is especially useful for anyone starting a keto lifestyle since it will help with the fatigue that may come with the keto flu which can be felt in the first few days of going low carb.
This is because the hormone insulin is being lowered which will make the body flush out water and also some electrolytes which is why replenishing them is a smart idea to avoid that sluggish feeling. Which will usually go away on it’s on after the first few days.
But why feel sluggish at all if you can simply drink this super-fueled electrolyte drink. Which is also helpful for athletes who lose these key electrolytes by sweating during their training.
They can take it before during or after their workout to keep that energy going.
You will need to order Lite salt which is a mixture of sodium and potassium chloride as well as a magnesium liquid supplement like Natural Calm which you can find a link to at on our recommendation’s page.
once those arrive, here is what you do.
Ingredients (Serves 6 cups)
Lemon Infused Electrolyte Drink
- 5 Cups of Fresh Water
- 1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon of lite Salt (720mg Potassium & 600mg Sodium)
- 1/2 teaspoon of Pink Himalayan Sea Salt (840mg Sodium)
- 2 tablespoons of Natural Calm (1050mg Magnesium)
- 1 teaspoon Powdered Erythritol
Directions
- Get a large jug and add 5 cups of fresh water to it, then squeeze some lemons to get about 1/2 cup worth of fresh lemon juice and add to the water.
- Next, get 1/2 teaspoon of the lite salt to add potassium to the water, then add 1/2 teaspoon of quality salt like pink Himalayan salt to the mix.
- Then, add 2 tablespoons of the liquid magnesium like natural calm, and follow that with 1 teaspoon of powdered erythritol then simply stir until everything has mixed well and enjoy!!
These recipe makes 6 cups so you can split it with your workout partner or save some for later.
This will be a better way of replenishing your electrolytes to recharge your body or avoid that sluggishness that may come with a keto-adaption.
Now if your getting your Potassium and magnesium from another supplement maybe in a capsule form, you can still just make a version of this drink by simply using the quality salt and fresh lemon, water and simply get the other key electrolytes in their capsule versions.
Also, coconut water has shown to be a great natural source of replenishing your electrolytes but it’s usually too high in sugar to fit a low carb lifestyle but another thing to keep in mind if your ever stranded on a deserted island
