🌺 Homemade Electrolyte Gatorade Mocktail (Better, Cheaper, Cleaner)

🌺 Homemade Electrolyte Gatorade Mocktail (Better, Cheaper, Cleaner)

Tired of overpriced neon-colored drinks with mystery ingredients and sugar crashes? Let’s fix that. Whether you’re recovering from a workout, a sauna sweat session, or a bout of fatigue, this clean homemade electrolyte drink is a powerhouse of hydration and minerals—without the junk.

💪 Why You Should Ditch Gatorade Forever

The original idea behind Gatorade was sound—restore electrolytes lost through sweat. But somewhere along the way, it turned into a chemical cocktail that’s closer to soda than a health drink.

Let’s break down the problems:

❌ What’s wrong with Gatorade?

• High-fructose corn syrup or sugar overload

• Artificial colors (hello, Yellow #5 and Blue #1)

• Fake flavors and preservatives

• Low-quality electrolytes (if any)

• No real hydration support

If you’re someone who cares about your liver, kidneys, blood sugar, gut health, or hormones, Gatorade should be a hard no.

✅ What Makes This Homemade Version Superior?

• Magnesium citrate – Critical for muscle relaxation, energy production, and hydration. Most people are deficient!

• Potassium (via NoSalt or Nu-Salt) – Vital for nerve function and cellular hydration.

• Hibiscus tea – Rich in antioxidants, naturally tangy and refreshing, and supports blood pressure balance.

• Zero sugar – We sweeten this with Bull Supplements pure stevia, third-party tested and free of additives.

• Pinch pink Himalayan salt as needed

• Customizable and cost-effective – Each serving costs pennies and supports real wellness.

🌈 Homemade Electrolyte Gatorade Mocktail Recipe

We usually make a pitcher of cold brew tea and then add the magnesium & potassium per glass as needed.

Ingredients (makes 1 serving):

• 1 cup hibiscus tea (or Tazo Passion Tea for a fruity twist)

• ½ to 1 teaspoon magnesium citrate ( in grocery or pharmacy )

• ¼ teaspoon NoSalt or Nu-Salt (potassium chloride)

• Dash of Bulk Supplements stevia (or to taste) available at Amazon

• 1–2 cups filtered water

• Optional: squeeze of lime or lemon for added flavor and vitamin C

🫗 Instructions:

1. Brew hibiscus tea - we just put a few tea bags in a pitcher add stevia and water and let it brew in the fridge. You can also brew it traditionally , let cool and chill it in the fridge.

2. Stir in magnesium citrate and potassium salt until dissolved.

3. Add a dash of stevia and optional citrus.

4. Serve neat or over ice, sip, and feel the hydration magic begin!

💡 Note: Start with ½ tsp magnesium if you’re new to it—too much can have a laxative effect.

💸 Let’s Talk Cost

A bottle of Gatorade costs $1–$3 depending on the store.

Your homemade version? Less than $0.30 a glass. And it’s real hydration—no insulin spikes, no gut irritants, no artificial garbage.

👨‍⚕️ Who Is This For?

• Intermittent fasters who need clean electrolytes

• Keto and low-carb folks who lose sodium and potassium more rapidly

• Athletes and sauna lovers

• Anyone trying to kick sugar and boost mineral intake naturally

🧬 Real Ingredients. Real Hydration.

Hydration isn’t about chugging water. It’s about balancing electrolytes, mineral absorption, and cellular health. This drink gives your body what it’s really craving—without the poison.

🚫 Let’s Ban Gatorade (and friends)

If it were up to us? We’d label Gatorade and its knockoffs as “hydration theater”—all show, no substance. What your body truly needs is minerals, not sugar water with a dye job.

Let’s be real: You don’t need a corporate drink laced with chemicals when you can whip up something better, cleaner, and smarter in your own kitchen.

🌿 Final Thoughts

This isn’t just a drink—it’s a lifestyle upgrade. Once you feel the difference in your energy, sleep, and recovery, you’ll never go back.
