Coconut Water Sports Drink

Sip every 15-20 min

A natural sports drink built on a coconut water base, with added sea salt, lime, and honey to balance the carb-electrolyte ratio for endurance running. Coconut water alone is too low-sodium and too high-potassium to act as a true sports drink; this version corrects that.

Ingredients

Drink

350 ml unsweetened coconut water
150 ml cold water
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
1/4 tsp fine sea salt
Notes

Sip every 15-20 minutes during runs over 60 minutes. The coconut water base delivers natural potassium and a hint of magnesium, while the added sea salt brings sodium up to the sports-drink range. Lime and honey balance the slightly sweet taste of plain coconut water. Best made fresh, store in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
