Instructions

1
Using a digital scale, measure 75g of sodium chloride (salt), 11.5g of potassium chloride, and 11.7g of magnesium malate into a large jar.
2
Seal the jar and shake well to thoroughly combine the powders. This is your bulk electrolyte mix.
3
For optional flavoring, place freeze-dried strawberries into a blender and blend until a fine powder is formed. Store this powder in a separate container.
4
To prepare a single serving, add 3.3 grams of the electrolyte mix to a glass.
5
Add your desired amount of the blended strawberry powder for flavor.
6
Fill the glass with coconut water or regular water.
7
Stir well until all the powders are dissolved, then serve.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Use a food processor or blender to grind freeze-dried strawberries into a fine powder for even distribution throughout the mix.
Weigh ingredients on a digital scale for accuracy—proper electrolyte ratios are essential for hydration effectiveness.
Mix the electrolyte powder thoroughly with flavoring powder to ensure consistent taste in each serving.
Taste-test your mix diluted in water before scaling up to verify electrolyte concentration and strawberry intensity.

Substitutions

Freeze-dried strawberries → other freeze-dried berries or fruit powder (raspberry, blueberry, or watermelon for different flavor profiles)
Coconut water → mineral water or filtered water (coconut water adds potassium and trace minerals; water works for a simpler version)
Magnesium malate → magnesium citrate (similar bioavailability; adjust quantity slightly as citrate is less dense)

Storage & make-ahead

Store the dry electrolyte mix in an airtight container away from moisture for up to 6 months; mix fresh with water or coconut water as needed.
