Electrolyte Recipes
This is your friendly reminder to stay hydrated this summer – and don’t forget the electrolytes!
Whether you’re recovering from a workout, lounging by the pool, or enjoying a summer BBQ, it’s the perfect time to get creative with your hydration with these fun, delicious recipes. From mocktails to cocktails, smoothies and popsicles, you’ll find something to hydrate and satisfy your summertime cravings.
For these recipes, we used Gnarly Hydrate flavors – Orange Pineapple, Raspberry, and Ruby Red Grapefruit – because they’re packed with electrolytes and B vitamins. You can purchase all three flavors in a 40-serving bag here.
If you opt for the hydration sticks, 1 stick is equal to 1 scoop in all of the recipes below.
