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.
Not a doctor or a medical practitioner, but I’m not in favour of sports-drink from Prime, Gatorade and G-Fuel, owing to their unhealthy amount of sugar and caffeine, and would prefer the ORS electrolyte.
Tender coconut is pretty good, but you can also try overnight-soaked basil seed with raisins. Add sugar as per your serving, but raisins will provide you with sweetness anyway.
Another good recommendation is pomegranate juice or banana smoothie. You can also not go wrong with custard-apple milk shake, but it might be a little tiring to de-seed them.
Sneaky caffeine content pisses me off. Bought a big thing of BCAAs at the store and didn’t realize until trying some it’s got caffeine in it.
I struggle with anxiety and caffeine is something I need to precisely control in order to keep from freezing up at work.
