Gatorade Alternatives
After my lousy 17-mile training run, I conceded that maybe I need a little more than water to keep me going. But I can’t bring myself to drink Gatorade. Don’t know why. Maybe it’s the color.
So I started looking around for an alternative, something that offered replenishment, something that’s flavor wouldn’t make me gag.
Online, I found a recipe for a homemade sports drink–basically water with a splash of orange juice, a spoon of sugar and a pinch of salt. It was drinkable if not wildly delicious.
Then I found two more options at a grocery store–coconut water and a natural sports drink. I gave them a try this morning, after a run.
