Description
Electrolyte drink mixes are great for after a hard, sweating workout, or for those with POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome). But those packets can be super expensive; it's significantly easier to make them yourself.
Thankfully, LMNT, one of the leading electrolyte drink companies, makes that dead simple to do by providing their base recipe right on their website. Instead of paying $1.50 per serving, you can pay just $0.05!
Just add a scoop to a large glass of water, add a flavoring and a sweetener, and enjoy your sodium, potassium and magnesium!
