]]> Hydration is one of the hottest topics within the world of fitness and wellness. Everyone from experts to influencers seems to constantly be promoting the importance of drinking enough fluids. While we can’t say we disagree, we also think what we drink is just as important as how much. It’s common knowledge that beverages like soda are not exactly superstars when it comes to our health, but did you know many sports drinks can be just as unhealthy?

Many people choose sports drinks as a source of electrolytes to both rehydrate and replace minerals like sodium that are lost during workouts. The problem is, sports drinks often contain just as much sugar as many popular sodas, along with additives like artificial dyes and brominated vegetable oil, which has been shown to irritate the skin and even cause headaches.

Fortunately, there are other ways to rehydrate and replace what we lose when we sweat. Coconut water is low in sugar, free of artificial dyes, and naturally contains five different types of electrolytes. It’s especially high in potassium which is important for muscle health and preventing cramps.

We love to mix in a little orange or lemon juice and a pinch of sea salt for added flavor and extra sodium. You won’t miss traditional sports drinks at all!

]]> To get the most out of your workout, it’s important to take care of your body and muscles. Sweating can lead to loss of electrolytes and ultimately cause dehydration if we’re not careful, and sometimes water just won’t cut it. Drinks like Gatorade are designed to help replenish the nutrients we lose, but they’re also often filled with chemical dyes and sweeteners, so the benefits they provide also come at a cost. We have a few go-to drinks for after we work out, and these are the ones we find most effective:

Coconut Water

Coconut water is high in minerals like potassium and magnesium, so it’s a great choice if you’re looking to replenish electrolytes. It does contain a bit of natural sugar, but much less than many commercial sports drinks, so you can rehydrate without a crash later on. 

Smoothies

The best part of smoothies is that you can add whatever you like. Fruits and veggies are full of vitamins and minerals and added protein powder can help keep you full for longer. Add a little nut butter to help your body absorb all of the fat-soluble vitamins and you’ve got yourself a highly nutritious drink.
