Ingredients in Electrolyte Ginger Lemonade

I don’t know how to prepare you for how mightily delicious this drink is! The first taste I had of it, I was like: “Perfection!”

It’s not too sweet, and the spiciness and lemon are just-right. While many lemonades don’t satisfy, so we just keep drinking down glasses of them, this one really hits the spot. Each sip answers the deep thirsty need.

Even a couple sips of these simple ingredients, combined in the right quantities with one another, will have you feeling pleased as punch!

The five simple ingredients are:

water
lemon juice
honey
ginger root
sea salt, or I recommend either: Potassium Salt or Homemade Electrolyte Powder, for more of the electrolyte minerals we need

Which minerals are the most important in an electrolyte drink

When it comes to electrolytes, the minerals we need most after exercise are: Sodium, Potassium and, to a lesser degree, Magnesium.

Making Electrolyte Ginger Lemonade with sea salt will surely rehydrate you and leave you feeling better, if not awesome!

But do choose either the Potassium Salt or Homemade Electrolyte Powder if the electrolyte aspect of this recipe is extra important to you, to more fully replenish lost minerals.

How to make Electrolyte Ginger Lemonade

Here’s how to make Electrolyte Ginger Lemonade:

Stir or whisk together all ingredients, in large pitcher or mason jar with lid, until honey and sea salt are fully dissolved.
Chill if desired. Optionally serve over ice. (I actually love this drink room temperature or cool, but don’t prefer it ice cold for best rehydration … personally!)

Serve!

Why is ginger healthy

Ginger helps with digestion and motility. It helps our bodies to assimilate hydration: our cells to draw in water and minerals.

Mineral-wise, ginger itself contains some potassium, selenium and magnesium — all minerals we need regularly.

Ginger even helps with blood sugar regulation. In one of many studies, ginger improved lipid profiles and benefited glucose control, insulin sensitivity, and blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes.

The spicy nature of ginger also helps us to feel satiated.
