Keeping Hydrated

Many of our kids are going back to school, and when we get busy, we tend to forget to take care of our needs and sometimes even important needs of the kids – like staying hydrated.

Recipe 1:

Orange Citrus Electrolyte Sport Drink

1/3 c. granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. boiling water
1/2 c. fresh orange juice, pulp free
1/3 c. fresh lemon juice
7 cups cold water

1. In a glass pitcher, combine sugar and salt.
2. Pour in boiling water and stir to dissolve sugar and salt.
3. Add orange juice, lemon juice, and cold water – stir & mix.

Stir before serving. Stores up to a week.

Recipe 1, Ver. 2:

Lime Citrus Electrolyte Sport Drink

To make the above recipe a lime version, omit the orange juice and increase the lemon juice by 2 tbsp. add 3 tbsp fresh lime juice.

Recipe 2:

Kool-Aid Electrolyte Drink

2 quarts water
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
7 Tablespoons sugar
1 packet Sugar-Free Kool-Aid
1/2 teaspoon salt substitute (or just plain salt)

Mix all ingredients together and serve.
*My own note.. you may want to put your ingredients into a 2 quart pitcher, and then add cold water.. that way it will all fit into the pitcher – since most pitchers are about 2 quarts in size.

Keep Healthy!
