Homemade Gatorade For my POTS Gang
I made myself a homemade electrolyte drink using a 2qt dollar tree pitcher, Kool-Aid, powdered sugar, lemon juice, salt, and vibes it's what I had in the house.
Flavor or miss the flavor gets watered down after adding water to fill it to the top so you can use it another Kool-Aid packet if you want. hydration hit. after a draining doctor appointment for my husband, I’m still standing — and not crispy-dry for once. it’s doing so good on my body, especially with POTS/dysautonomia stuff.
no fancy Liquid IV. just broke bitch science & survival. if you’re disabled, low energy, or can’t afford fancy hydration stuff this works. ✌🏾🥤
🌈 Recipe (2 quart pitcher):
1 packet unsweetened Kool-Aid
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp table salt
2 tbsp lemon juice
8 cups water
(optional: 1/4 tsp baking soda)
I also suggest using a coffee mug to warm up the water and dissolve your salt and sugar. chill. sip slow.
flavor can be boosted w/ extra Kool-Aid or lemon juice if watering it down.
Stay hydrated, especially if life’s got you by the throat lately. you deserve care even if it’s neon purple.
