Homemade Sports Drink

June 24, 2010 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy 7 Comments

1 packet any flavor unsweetened Kool-aid or similar other brand for making 2 quarts
8 tablespoons of sugar or 10 packets of sweetener for sugar free
3/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon salt substitute (that contains potassium chloride)
2 quarts water

Place everything in a pitcher and mix well.

I used to make this all the time when the kids were in karate. So much cheaper than store bought sports drinks, and you can make them in the kids favorite flavors.

With it being so hot out, it’s important to keep the kids hydrated, especially if they are participating in sports. And you know they’ll drink it, if they pick the flavor

    My DH is a marathon runner and could totally use this recipe!

    Where do you find the salt substitute? Could you just use more regular salt instead?

    You can find the salt substitute in the store, right next to the regular salt. No, you can't use more salt. The salt substitute is what puts the potassium in the drink. Potassium is important in a sports drink, so make sure you read the label to get the salt substitute that has potassium chloride.
    Hope that helps!

    My DD likes to drink Daddy's "running juice" too when they pretend she is running a marathon. She runs around our house… Too funny!!!

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
