What is an electrolyte drink?

Electrolyte drinks help replenish your body’s stores of essential minerals that can become depleted during exercise, training, or dehydration. Store-bought sports drinks are a typical example of an electrolyte beverage but often contain additives and refined sugars that are not Keto compliant. Our Low-Carb electrolyte drink is prepared from a coconut water base, naturally rich in electrolytes. We have combined this with a twist of lime, maple-flavored syrup and a pinch of sea salt. The lime provides a great source of magnesium and potassium as well as a zesty twist. Salt is also added as an additional source of electrolytes.

Who needs electrolytes?

Electrolytes are crucial to the healthy function of the human body. They are responsible for a wide range of processes in the body including proper functioning of the heart, digestive system, and nervous system amongst others. A normal healthy and balanced diet will provide a wide range of crucial minerals for the body. However, if you partake in regular exercise and gym sessions you will likely need to replace electrolytes lost from physical activity. Our Low-Carb electrolyte drink is the perfect solution if you are low-carb and want to avoid synthetic store-bought sports drinks.

Can you use different syrups?

Yes, any sugar-free syrup will work as long as the sweetener is Keto-friendly. This recipe uses maple-flavored syrup, but vanilla, caramel, hazelnut, and amaretto are all delicious substitutes to try.

What type of salt can you use for this drink?

It is important to use high-quality sea salt or pink Himalayan salt and not standard table salt.
