Because of the fact that supplements are costly and sometimes a lot of people have trouble digesting them or maybe they want to refuel them self with natural option, a bunch of people is experimenting and doing their own energy drinks, gels, granola bars, and rice bars you name it (and yes, I am doing all of them). This time I would like to share with you some recipes that I have tried to fuel my rides and long runs which are low cost, naturals and easy to made.
Electrolyte Replacement Drink or Sports Drink
The 4 ingredients for an electrolyte replacement drink are quite simple:
- Water,
- Carbs,
- Salt, and
- Fruit juice for flavour
One that I have been using goes like this...
Ingredients:
- 200 ml of unsweetened orange juice (or any citric juice you prefer or have)
- 4 teaspoons of organic coconut sugar
- 2 Pinch of Himalayan salt or table salt ( don't be too fancy with that, if you don't have the Himalayan salt use table salt we just need any source of sodium)
- 550 ml of water.
Preparation:
