My Favorite Electrolyte Packets

I have been working on nutrition and wellness for a while now, trying to focus on cleaner choices without all the chemicals and additives. One thing I was trying to find was a cleaner option for electrolytes. I’ve always tried to drink a lot of water everyday, often buying a gallon jug to carry with me all day to ensure I get my water in. While this can be a great practice, I started to feel more water logged than hydrated, and felt like my body needed more, especially after a good workout.

A friend of mine recommended LMNT electrolyte packets, and specifically the watermelon flavor. I immediately got online to find them and give them a try. I ordered mine here.

I drink the raw unflavored because it’s approved while on my health protocol.

These packets are packed full of great sodium, potassium and magnesium and they have so many flavors to choose from too. The best part? The flavored packets are sweetened with Stevia instead of processed sugars. I placed an order and gave them a try as soon as they got to my house.

I was so impressed with how much better I felt! I felt my energy was more consistent and I wasn’t feeling like I was still thirsty after drinking a gallon of water. Lol I shared with my husband too and he’s been hooked ever since. He is a general contractor and often works outside in the Summer sun. He would often come home feeling drained and totally dehydrated, even though he had water with him all day. These packets have become a staple in our pantry!

Another added bonus is how well they help to alleviate a headache. I went off caffeine for 30 days at the start of my health protocol and was sure I would get headaches for at least 3 days. I was so surprised to find that I didn’t get a headache at all the entire time. My health coach explained how the electrolytes help to open up your body’s detox pathways as well and the positive effect it has on your health.

Another win was at the soccer fields last week. My 7 yr old had played her game, and then we hung around after playing around with her cousins. It had been a hot evening and she played hard. She came to me in tears saying that her head hurt. I encouraged her to drink some electrolyte water that I had made with an LMNT electrolyte packet and a water bottle. She drank some reluctantly and then laid down for maybe 3 minutes. After that, she jumped up and went right back to playing with her cousins saying that her head felt totally better! I was shocked but not surprised as she was very upset before drinking the electrolyte water I gave her.

I can’t say enough good things about this product! I am not a Doctor or health care professional, and this is not healthcare advice. I’m simply sharing my experience and our wins. If you’d like to read more about the science of it all, you can visit LMNT’s website and read all about it. Here is an article explaining the ratios.

My family has loved it! I’m glad to have found something that is clean and healthy for our family.

You can purchase a box of them here. We’ve enjoyed the watermelon salt flavor, as well as many others.

Best of luck!
