@thruhikers: Part II: It looks good, but will it taste good? #homemade #electrolytes #gatorade

Kenny Krieg3 :

I have dysautomonia so I’ve had my fair share of electrolytes. I find the most cost effective is maple syrup, lime juice, and pink salt. Maybe that could be a new flavor to try making a powder out of!

ohwellwhatevernevermind :

"earthy" is never a good flavor😅

manderss :

i hate when people give advice on shit no one asked but instead of mortons salt id use a salt without its minerals stripped.. like a celtic sea salt... 🤷‍♀️

Patrick :

The colors are so vibrant when rehydrated. Super cool.

Kristin :

why did you use table salt and not sea salt?

SassAFrassie :

You couldn't duplicate glacier cherry?

🇨🇦🍉🏳️‍⚧️Cornus🏳️‍⚧️🍉🇨🇦 :

earthy and grassy is not what I imagine when I think Gatorade but as long as y'all enjoyed it! 😂

Nalgene :

Shake it up!

Midnight_231 :

“Earthy” and “floral” are not the same. How do you feel about the flavors after more than that initial sip because I’m excited for this venture!

Amanda Gardner :

how well did it dissolve. was it gritty

BattlefieldBriefs :

Heck yeah!

Sndnfndkaxkfq :

For homemade ones a little extra sugar is good helps the body process the electrolytes. You can buy other things like magnesium citrate etc to get better working ones

MapleTech246 :

If you don't normally eat cactus leaf, it's one of those things you add to your diet slowly! For those of us in the culinary desert who might not know better. 😜🤷‍♀️(My daughter's Dad learned that one the hard way...)

𝓢𝓷𝓸𝔀𝓢𝓷𝓸𝓼𝓱𝓐𝓚 :

Nice! I bet they’d both be great after store-bought powders

Em Green :

I do potassium power magnesium citrate and Celtics sea salt then mix with whatever I want

Exoterika :

How much “sediment” is left at the bottom 😝

griefgoblin :

Agua de nopal!

Leslie OESobsessed :

The banana didn’t overpower everything?

Buildswithbigmike :

You two should try smoothies or a yogurt parfait i always wanted a freeze dryer I’d make all kinds of stuff 😂 especially for backpacking yesterday I made a 15 bean soup with collard greens and smoked turkey leg and bacon I’d love to eat it on trail but idk how well I can dehydrate it

🏳️‍🌈🤟 ColoradoLis 🕉️🩵 :

so cool that you both tasted way different things!

Meg :

What about Celtic grey sea salt?

Alinaaaaaa :

Check out @Taste Salud ! Lots of flavor variety, no weird junk in it, and really effective. I like their energy ones instead of a canned drink. They travel really really well too
