You don’t need fancy bottled drinks like BodyArmor and Gatorade to replace electrolytes. You also don’t need some tricky formula made in a lab. All you need are simple real food sources of a few key minerals like sodium, chloride, potassium and magnesium.

Here are 4 ways to replenish your electrolytes naturally and give your body some serious nutrition at the same time:

🍏 Juice with Celery + Apple + Lemon – The celery is a natural source of sodium, potassium, magnesium, chloride, and phosphorus. Apple provides additional potassium. Lemon is the highest electrolyte containing citrus fruit.

🍋 Stir Sea Salt + Baking Soda + Lemon Juice + Maple Syrup into 8 ounces of Water – This is a great natural remedy for serious endurance athletes.

🥥 Shake Raw Coconut Water + Chia Seeds – Raw coconut water has a ton of electrolytes and potassium. Chia seeds have the ability to keep you from getting dehydrated because they can hold 9 times their weight in water!

🥬 Blend Frozen Banana + Almond Milk + Kale – The banana provides a good source of potassium and magnesium which help regulate your fluid stores. Almonds are extremely rich in magnesium and potassium. Kale is a superfood and another excellent source of magnesium and calcium.

Know anyone buying BodyArmor, Gatorade, or Powerade? I’m sure you do! Please share this with them!
