Make your own energy drink

After a workout we can lose a lot of electrolytes from our bodies, these are the salts and minerals are body uses for electrical impulses. We lose electrolytes through sweat which can leave us feeling tired and dehydrated. Below is a homemade drink you can make to give you the boost you need.  



Ingredients

-1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
-1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
-1½ to 2 cups of fresh water
-1/8 teaspoon of sea salt
-2 tablespoons natural sugar or honey, to taste

Instructions

Throw everything into a blender and blend until the honey has dissolved, if you do not have a blender you can blend it by hand. As a serving option I recommend you poor your mixture into a glass of ice. 

Give it a go and see how you get on!
