Readers, I'll be taking (another!) break from writing for the next few weeks to work on other projects. In the meantime, enjoy this updated post from CK's archives.
***********************
Today I want to share an easy and laughably cheap sports drink recipe borrow and modified from the famous 1980's era fitness book Eat to Win. This recipe has served us very well here at Casual Kitchen: it's healthy, contains no HFCS (quite unlike almost all sports drinks), and it replenishes you during and after even the most grueling hot-weather workouts.
You can make this recipe up in seconds for mere pennies, or you can pay as much as $1.50 to $2.50 for a quart-sized plastic jug of heavily advertised, HFCS-laden Gatorade or Powerade. You're welcome.
Quickfix
Combine:
8 ounces orange juice
24 ounces cold water
1/2 teaspoon salt
Shake well and drink during or after workouts.

How to Make Your Own Inexpensive Sports Drink
I'd be remiss, after all of my diet and athletic training essays, if I didn't share this easy and inexpensive sports drink recipe from my Eat to Win guru, Robert Haas.
This recipe has served us very well over the years, even after the most grueling hot-weather workouts.

Quickfix
Modified slightly from Robert Haas' Eat To Win.
Combine:
8 ounces orange juice
8 ounces cold water
1/2 teaspoon salt
Stir well and drink.
***************************
Compared to Gatorade or Powerade at $2.00 to $2.50 for a 32-ounce bottle, this recipe is just as healthy at a fraction of the cost. Enjoy!
