Homemade Electrolyte Drink with Coconut Water
This homemade electrolyte drink is easy to make, low sugar, and dye-free.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 3 cups unflavored coconut water
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- ⅛ teaspoon Redmond's real salt or similar/himalayan salt
- 1 lime, juiced (optional)
- 1 can/bottle sparkling mineral water (optional)
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the coconut water, ginger, honey, salt, and lime juice (if using). Blend till combined - about 1 minute.
- Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer to strain out the ginger pieces, into a larger storage container. Pour over ice and top off with about 2 oz of sparkling water (or however much you prefer).
Notes
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 7 days, or freeze into electrolyte popsicles.
- Lime juice should be omitted if sensitive to citrus/on HYH. Or you can add lemon and lime juice for a lemon lime flavor. It works all ways! You could even just add a slice of lime and squeeze it into the drink versus using the juice.
- For high nausea days, I find adding lime, serving over ice, and adding sparkling water hits the spot. It also makes a great mocktail. Using sparkling mineral water will increase the electrolyte content.
- If you want to serve this as a sports drink, you can omit the sparkling water and add it over ice.
