@cookinglikekate Hot take: your neon sports drink is mid. This pitcher is cheaper, lower sugar, and heavier on electrolytes. Customize the flavor, keep the minerals. #Electrolytes #GymTok #drinkrecipies #CoconutWater #workoutrecovery ♬ original sound - 𝙇𝙭𝙪𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙯 🫶🏻

Notes

Dissolve the salt in a small warm splash of coconut water first for even flavor.
For everyday use add 1½ tsp fine sea salt; for heavy sweat days use 2 tsp.
Add citrus, mint, or ginger to individual cups only so the pitcher stays fresh longer.
