I’m not eating and I need to keep my electrolytes up. I’ve been trying different drinks and there pretty much all awful. The best I’ve had so far is pineapple coconut water. The worst is Powerade Zero fruit punch.

It seems like whatever stuff they put in there in these drinks is the problem because many of them have this horrible bitter taste they try to hide with flavoring.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

And yes, I know Brawndo has electrolytes. Very droll.

    Yup. If chicken stock or beef stock is palatable to you it is an excellent electrolyte source.

        If you read my other reply and nolijil’s follow up you can add potassium and magnesium to chicken broth without affecting the flavor at all and it will be nearly a complete electrolyte source. If you can take a couple of Tums a day for calcium as well you will have all of the primary electrolytes covered.

        Look into Better than Bullion soup base. It’s rather better tasting than the cubes, and you can get it in all kinds of flavors like roasted garlic, mushroom, shrimp, lobster, etc, in addition to their classic beef, chicken, and vegetable bases.

        Amazon and Costco both carry them. The soup aisle at your local grocery might also have a selection.
