Looking to save a little money? It's possible to make your own sports drink at home. Sports drinks are made to provide fluid, carbohydrate, and electrolytes during long duration, high-intensity exercise - but you don't have to buy it in the store! Here is a recipe for a sports drink that you can make at home. The recipe is from Nancy Clark, MS, RD, CSSD - a well respected sports dietitian in the Boston area. Enjoy!
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup hot water
1/4 cup orange juice (not concentrate) plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 1/2 cups cold water
1. In the bottom of a pitcher, dissolve the sugar and salt in the hot water.
2. Add the juice and the remaining water; chill.
