Natural Alternative to Gatorade

When the temps start to rise, I get pretty thirsty. Here in Utah it's dry, it's hot and my skin and gut need more water! When I drink water, I want to get the most out of it  - meaning I want to make sure I'm getting hydrated by adding electrolytes. I came up with a little recipe for a naturally hydrating beverage I want to share with you. Follow the recipe below (or improvise your own version and let me know if it's a tasty one!) and see if you get a bit more out of your water...

Naturopathic Electrolyte Drink ("NED")
Enjoy NED on a warm day especially after sweating, before or during a workout or whenever you're thirsty. 

Ingredients

• 24 oz Filtered Water

• Electrolyte Drops (I like Concentrace from Trace Minerals)

• Liquid Stevia Drops

• 2 TBS Lemon or Lime Juice

Instructions
It's easy! I use a big mason jar to make my drink. Add in the filtered water, electrolyte drops (I use 2 droppers full- about 20 drops), stevia drops (about 20 drops, or to taste), lemon or lime juice. 

Sometimes I add ice, sometimes I add sparkling water... experiment and see what you come up with!
