It’s really easy to make your own energy drink, and you’ll undoubtedly find that it tastes better than the store-bought alternatives. In addition, the homemade version is all-natural (… no artificial flavors, colorings and preservatives) and a lot cheaper!

Here are the ingredients to mix together:

3 cups unsweetened cranberry juice (100 percent juice)
5 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons maple syrup

Optional: 1 star anise. If using this optional ingredient, leave to infuse for one hour then strain.

After mixing all ingredients: refrigerate.

This all-natural homemade energy drink provides a great tasting mix of carbohydrates to fuel your muscles. It also contains electrolytes (sodium and potassium) to help replace what your body loses through sweat.

maud — Wed, 12 Sep 2018 00:43:13 +0000

Annie obviously spent a lot of time fine-tuning this tasty recipe that uses both coconut water and coconut oil for the nutty, sweet flavor. Dates pack the blended drink with fiber and plenty of natural sugar.

Ingredients:

400 ml mineral water or young coconut water (this one is the ideal but unfortunately not widely available)

½ tsp extra virgin coconut oil

1½ tsp fresh lime juice

1 tsp fresh lemon juice

2 medjool dates (stones removed)

1½ tsp agave nectar

pinch of sea salt

Bonus tip: Put the left-over lime peels in the fridge as a deodorant!

When Do You NEED ELECTROLYTES? Here’s the Answer (and My Reco!)

maud — Mon, 10 Sep 2018 23:46:55 +0000

You’ve undoubtedly heard that you need to replenish your electrolytes, especially after a workout. But what are electrolytes, why do we need them and what’s the best way to maintain them in our body?

What are Electrolytes?

There are tons of electrolytes out there, but in our bodies they are basically calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium chloride, hydrogen phosphate (a mineral) and hydrogen carbonate (a salt).

Why do we need Electrolytes?

Electrolytes are vital for survival. Not only could we not function if we didn’t have them, if we dilute them too much, it can lead to death by “water poisoning.” They regulate our nerve and muscle function, our hydration, the pH of our blood, rebuilding damaged tissue, and determining blood pressure. One example of their job would be in order for a muscle to contract-from your heart to the tiniest toe muscle- it needs the electrolytes calcium, sodium, and potassium.
Too little and muscles become weak, too much and they over contract.

Easy ELECTROLYTE ENERGY DRINK to Make at Home in Your Kitchen

maud — Mon, 10 Sep 2018 19:48:28 +0000

This is easy … just toss everything into a food blender and blend until the honey is dissolved. No blender? No worry … just squeeze and mix all the ingredients together by hand.

Then treat yourself to a tall glass of the results, add a few ice cubes, and enjoy.

If you’re lazy, however, and buy your Gatorade, PowerAde or electrolyte pumped-up sports drinks at the store to maintain your body’s balance of electrolytes during and after periods of heavy exercise, you may want to note the following:

When you look closer, you’re really just paying an outrageous price for glorified, brightly colored, sugar water. An overload of processed and refined sweetener (in the case of sports drinks, high-fructose corn syrup) is never a good thing. And while artificial flavors and colors don’t technically do much to your health, a part of me just shies away from the idea of ingesting things that are “fake.”

We’ve been led to believe by certain companies that we need an extra-special drink to recover from some sweat.

So what’s the bottom line about buying sports drinks and energy drinks?

Conclusion:

Make your own sports drink! It’s easy, quick, and naturally refreshing.

You will need…

-1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lime juice
-1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
-1½ to 2 cups fresh water, depending on how strong you want the flavor
-1/8 teaspoon of sea salt
-2 tablespoons natural sugar or honey, to taste

Enjoy!

Healthy Organic Sports Drink Recipe (Video)

maud — Sat, 07 Apr 2018 20:52:07 +0000

If your body is accustomed to healthy, organic food, then most regular sports drinks will likely be a shock to your system. It’s much better to make your own by combining organic coconut water with organic lemons and oranges for a sports drink with no added chemicals.

One danger typically hiding in normal sports drinks is a large amount of sugar that overwhelms the pancreas and inhibits the production of the insulin needed to transport blood sugar into the body where it is used to give you energy. When the pancreas is overworked from too much sugar, type-2 diabetes may occur.

Alternatively, when unhealthy sweeteners such as aspartame and sucralose are used in the place of sugar, this can lead to damaging your intestines and a variety of serious illnesses.

The solution is a healthy, homemade sports drink with naturally sweet coconut water, lemon juice, orange juice and optional stevia to sweeten even more.
