This electrolyte drink mix delivers a targeted mineral profile—520mg potassium, 140mg calcium, and 50mg magnesium per serving—using bioavailable forms like magnesium glycinate and mineral sea salt. DIY is worthwhile because the raw mineral ingredients are inexpensive in bulk and the recipe avoids any proprietary markup, cutting cost by roughly 87% per serving.
Based on: Electrolyte Drink Mix (likely LMNT or similar hydration product)
Why This Recipe is Seed Oil Free
Commercial Electrolyte Drink Mix (likely LMNT or similar hydration product) often contains inflammatory seed oils like canola, soybean, or sunflower oil. This homemade version replaces them with healthier fats like butter, ghee, coconut oil, or avocado oil — giving you the same great taste without the processed oils.
Step 1. Weigh each ingredient using a digital kitchen scale set to grams. Precision matters for electrolyte dosing—do not estimate volumes for mineral powders.
Step 2. Combine all eight dry ingredients in a clean, completely dry mixing bowl.
Step 3. Whisk vigorously for 60–90 seconds to ensure the heavier mineral powders are evenly distributed throughout the lighter citrus and sugar powders.
Step 4. Transfer the blended mix into an airtight glass jar (a wide-mouth mason jar works perfectly). Label with the date and serving size (1 level tsp).
Step 5. To serve: add 1 level teaspoon (~5g) to 12–16 oz of cold or room-temperature water. Stir briskly or shake in a sealed bottle until fully dissolved (about 15 seconds).
Step 6. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Drop in a food-grade silica gel packet to prevent clumping. Shelf-stable for 6+ months.
Step 7. Optional flavor boost: squeeze in a wedge of fresh lime or orange, or add a few drops of liquid stevia if you prefer more sweetness.
