As former high school superstar athletes, we take our health very seriously (almost as seriously as Ellen’s cheerleading glamour shot)…

…meaning we’re conscious of not only what we put in our bodies, but making sure we stay in shape as well.

We love nothing more than a good sweat sesh, and if you’re like us, sometimes water just doesn’t cut it after you’ve busted your butt in a 6am Orange Theory class. However, I always hesitate to reach for that Gatorade because of all the sugar, artificial colors, etc., it contains. No one wants to undo 55 minutes of pure torture by unnecessicarily ingesting upwards of 14 grams of sugar, so we developed our own Whole 30 approved, all natural electrolyte sports drink, similar to this Don’t Mess with Mama recipe.

This recipe can’t get any easier, and you’ll immediately wonder why you ever purchased those sugary sports drinks in the first place. Lemons help promote hydration, and oranges are not only full of vitamin C, but reduce inflammation and help lower your blood pressure. The Himalayan salt is key to helping your body replenish the sodium lost during your workout and increasing the electrolytes in your blood.

We also recommend storing in an air-tight container – I personally am a huge fan of these Weck jars – and consuming in less than a week for freshness.

If you try our All-Natural Electrolyte Sports Drink, we’d LOVE to see your photos! Tag us on instagram @fridgetofork, and be sure to let us know how it turned out in the comments below.
