Ingredients

▢ 150 ml orange juice (5 fl. oz)

Instructions

Ideally the orange juice is a brand that’s freshly squeezed and not from concentrate.
Top up the rest of the glass with coconut water and then use a straw or a spoon to give it a good stir.
Sip and enjoy!

Notes

Orange Juice

Orange juice provides a dose of Vitamin C and natural sugars, which help your body recover after strenuous activity.

Try and use a good quality brand of orange juice that contains 100% pure or freshly squeezed orange juice, with no added sugars.

Coconut Water

Coconut water helps to replenish fluids and minerals lost when we sweat. It contains potassium, magnesium, calcium and sodium.

Salt

When we sweat we lose sodium from our bodies. Adding a pinch of good quality salt to your electrolyte drink helps to replenish some of the sodium we have lost.

Avoid using table salt if possible, as this would have been heavily processed and striped of its natural minerals.

Use a good quality Celtic sea salt or Pink Himalayan instead, as they will contain higher levels of minerals due to a minimal amount of processing.
