We all need more of these electrolytes. I never really thought of myself as being “dehydrated” – mostly because you’d usually see me with a jug of water. After having Chet in 2020 and breastfeeding, I found myself constantly thirsty.
When you hear electrolytes you probably think of Gatorade… at least I used to when I would hear that term. However, Gatorade may have some good stuff in it, but any good is very offset with the sugar it contains. If you grab a gatorade zero and google the ingredients – it’ll make you cringe. When you switch to LMNT, you’re getting minimal ingredients that are actually good for you. I’ve have alot of people cringe at the salt of these. But, you have to remember that the sodium in these drinks isn’t table salt. The LMNT drinks will hydrate you at a cellular level… you can read more about it here.
One day at work, these little packets showed up. Now – I start my day with 32 ounces of water and a packet of LMNT. I really think being truly hydrated has gave me more energy and improved my skin too!
Typically, I’ll have 1-2 of these a day. Chet gets some of my “mom juice” too – an active toddler needs to stay hydrated!
These are a bit on the Salty side of tasting, but I mix mine with 32 ounces of water so its delicious! You can add more water for a less salty taste, or less water for a stronger flavor. I love the citrus flavor in the morning and any of the others in the afternoon!
Charlee doesn’t love the salty taste, so for a highschool athlete she prefers the Ultima drink mix. You can find this in Walmart. I’ve also had her start using Trace Minerals to add minerals back into her water since we have reverse osmosis water. {Why do we do that? — thats a post for another day}
I prefer these options over most others because of the low/zero sugar.
I tried the Redmonds Electrolyte mix, but I didn’t feel it dissolved as well and I didn’t care for the taste as much as the LMNT.
You can grab some LMNT drink mixes here to try!
