I’m not eating and I need to keep my electrolytes up. I’ve been trying different drinks and there pretty much all awful. The best I’ve had so far is pineapple coconut water. The worst is Powerade Zero fruit punch.

It seems like whatever stuff they put in there in these drinks is the problem because many of them have this horrible bitter taste they try to hide with flavoring.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

And yes, I know Brawndo has electrolytes. Very droll.

      Yes. Usually one gram of salt per cube.

      If you want to add potassium to that you’re welcome to as well, the bullion flavor will mask the potassium and salt flavors

      Yup. If chicken stock or beef stock is palatable to you it is an excellent electrolyte source.

          If you read my other reply and nolijil’s follow up you can add potassium and magnesium to chicken broth without affecting the flavor at all and it will be nearly a complete electrolyte source. If you can take a couple of Tums a day for calcium as well you will have all of the primary electrolytes covered.
