So I've been a little dehydrated lately, evidenced by my swollen ankles...and although I love Recharge, it's not exactly reasonably priced on Amazon at the moment, nor is it available locally to me (since Kroger quit carrying it). So I got out my old "recipe" and tweaked it further.
1 quart Juicy Juice Kiwi-Strawberry (we had this on hand but any juice would work)
2 quarts water
1/4 tsp real salt
1/4 tsp 100% stevia extract
and, tada! a tasty, hydrating, electrolyte-replacing beverage that is easier to come by, and slightly more effective for this pregnant lady than plain water.
BTW, I did a nutritional analysis on my recipe and compared it to Recharge.
My recipe, per 8oz:
Calories - 40

Potassium - 76.8mg
Carbohydrate - 10g

This recipe sounds great although I will have to skip the stevia part as we do not use that.I think I will make it to have on hand during the birth of our baby due in four weeks.:)I know all about the swollen ankes too.The heat makes it worse.:)
I just realized that I spelled ankles wrong!!Sorry about that.
