Ok… so none of them are quite as catchy as Gatorade… that may be true, but I’m convinced mine’s better (humble, huh?!)
You only need 3 things:
- Water (full water bottle=3 cups = 20 oz.)
- Tang (2 Tablespoons)
- Morton Light Salt (1/4-1/2 teaspoon)
I’m using the tang that has 1/2 the sugar.
The nutritional info (for one water bottle, using 1/2 teaspoon lite salt) works out to:
- 96 calories
- 21.6Sugars
- 24% (EACH!) Vitamin A, Calcium, Riboflaven, Vitamin B6, Vitamin E, Niacin
- 240% Vitamin C
- 24% Sodium
- 20% Potassium
Gatorade (and other “ade”s) seem to have more carbs (easily remedied by using regular Tang instead of the 1/2 sugar), NO vitamins, more sodium and less potassium. I like having less sodium and more potassium - I get plenty of sodium in my diet and potassium, I’m told, helps prevent cramps and provide a little “pick-me-up.”
NOTE: Make sure you use Morton LITE salt… regular salt has more sodium and almost NO potassium.
Grace and Peace,
