Homemade Gatorade to Rival the Artificial Stuff

homemade Gatorade homemade Gatorade

My kids play a lot of sports and so they’ve been exposed to every brightly colored sports drink on the market.  This DIY version — homemade Gatorade — has nothing artificial and satisfies all their replenishment requirements.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 ½  cups coconut water
  • juice of 1 orange (about ½ – ¾ cup)
  • juice of 1-2 limes (about ¼ -½ cup)
  • ½  tsp sea salt
  • 2-3 drops trace mineral drops
  • 1 TBSP honey
  • ½  cup juice

DIRECTIONS
1. Put coconut water in a mason jar or glass container. Add citrus juice, sea salt, trace mineral drops and honey. Shake very well to dissolve honey.
2. Add juice and shake. I like to keep the base in the fridge and add juice to individual servings.
