    This DIY recipe for lemon lime homemade sports drink is a healthy way to replenish electrolytes. This drink is made with natural ingredients and no added sugar. In this recipe I tell you how to make a sugar free sports drink with coconut water.

    I haven't found a sports drink in the store that doesn't have dyes or ingredients I don't consume. So, I decided to make my own. It's really easy! In this version I use lemon lime, but you could use any juice you have at home.

    It's so key for our bodies to drink more than just water. We need to replace the electrolytes we use up sweating during exercise or while we are sick. I blend this drink up in my blender and serve it over ice. If I have some leftover I store it in the refrigerator in a sealed jar.

    How do I make my own gatorade?

    It's so easy and you can control the ingredients! I like to start with a coconut water and regular water base. Then add in juices. In this recipe I use orange, lemon and lime juices. You could change that up to use what you have on hand. Then I use honey to sweeten slightly and some sea salt.

    If you have been used to drinking regular gatorade this recipe may not have enough honey for you. You may want to start with a little more honey and then lessen that a little each time you make this recipe until your taste buds get used to drinking something a little less sweet.

    How long will homemade sports drink last?

    If you have leftover lemon lime homemade sports drink you will want to store it in your refrigerator. It will last in your refrigerator for up to a week. This recipe doesn't make a large batch, so you shouldn't have any trouble using it up in that time frame.
