Introduction:

If you’ve ever hit that midday slump or felt drained after a sweaty workout, your body might be begging for more than just water—it’s craving electrolytes.

Say hello to the Strawberry Salt Elixir Sipper, a deliciously hydrating drink made with real fruit, mineral-rich salt, and natural sources of potassium and magnesium to help you replenish, rehydrate, and feel energized—without artificial flavors, dyes, or added sugars.

This vibrant, mineral-packed sipper is perfect for hot days, hormone support, or as a gentle way to restore balance during times of fatigue or stress.

💧 Why This Elixir Works

Unlike store-bought sports drinks loaded with additives and sugar, this homemade electrolyte drink supports your body with:

Strawberries – Rich in vitamin C and antioxidants
Coconut water – Nature’s electrolyte superstar with potassium and magnesium
Lime juice – Adds a refreshing zing and helps support digestion
Sea salt – Provides trace minerals like sodium and chloride for cellular hydration
Cream of tartar (optional) – A hidden source of potassium, especially helpful for muscle function and energy
Honey (optional) – A gentle blood sugar stabilizer and natural sweetener

½ cup blended strawberries (about 4–5 medium strawberries)
¼ cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)

Optional: 1 tsp cream of tartar (for added potassium)
Optional: ½–1 tsp raw honey, to taste
Ice + filtered water, to dilute to your preference

Instructions:

In a blender, combine the strawberries and lime juice until smooth.
Pour the mixture into a mason jar or glass.
Add coconut water, salt, optional cream of tartar, and honey if using.
Stir or shake well until everything is fully combined.

Sip slowly and enjoy the refreshing boost!

When to Drink Your Elixir

After a workout or sauna session
First thing in the morning to replenish overnight electrolyte loss
During your luteal phase (for hormone balance)
On hot days when hydration is key
When you’re feeling tired, bloated, or lightheaded

Pro Tips:

Use frozen strawberries for an extra chilly, slushy texture.
Make a double batch and store in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Swap lime for lemon if preferred, or mix both!

Hydration isn’t just about drinking more water—it’s about absorbing it. This Strawberry Salt Elixir Sipper delivers everything your body needs to feel refreshed, recharged, and ready to take on the day.
