Drinks, Feel Good Food

All Natural Homemade Sports Drink

Most sports drinks are filled with sugar, food coloring and artificial chemicals, but It’s easy to make your own natural replenishing sports drink instead. Coconut water is high in potassium and electrolytes and super hydrating. Citrus is energizing and high in vitamin C. Chia seeds give you a little dose of healthy protein and fat and are high in antioxidants. Sea salt replenishes sodium lost through sweating and ginger is a natural anti-inflammatory. So just say no to drinking anything fluorescent-Your body will thank you!
