Keto Gatorade, aka "Snake Juice" - Get Your Electrolytes this Summer!

[@CandysCritters]

I’ve been using a commercial product, but my budget is urging me to try this, so THANKS! for sharing.

[@royalredus]

Same here!

[@RRW_HomeGrown.Keto.Cookin]

Me, three!!🥤

[@NavyWife]

I have been drinking Snake Juice for 4 years and it has helped me to drop an maintain a 140 pound weight loss.

I made it & its horrible. Sticking to LMNT

[@royalredus]

@@ShalomShalom-d5c LOL well there goes that idea. Thank you for letting me know!

[@MyFatAdaptedLife]

Can't get any simpler (and more cost effective) than that. Thank you, Steve.

[@cynthiahicks1909]

Hi Steve- I've been making this recipe for Keto-Aid for quite a while- a little bit different from your recipe. I use 6 cups of filtered water, 2 T of ACV, 2 T of magnesium powder (I use Natural Calm) 1/2 t of no salt, 1/4 t. of pink salt, 1/4 cup of sweetener- (I use Swerve powdered sugar) and 2 juiced lemons. Shake really good in your jug and drink. I seems to work really well and has eliminated my leg cramps. Thanks for all you do.

[@cyranobuckminster1970]

So I made this (actually still waiting for my lemon and lime powder) with 1/2 tsp allulose (Lakanto allulose/monk fruit powder) and it's good. It got me thinking, though . . . I've been (separately) making switchel (apple cider vinegar, ginger and honey), cold-brewed green tea and coffee (all in two quart mason jars). I think I'm going to try adding all the ingredients for this and the switchel (subbing honey for allulose) to my green tea and/or coffee. If nothing else, it would cut down on the number of half-gallon mason jars in our fridge (which my wife would greatly appreciate). So, the snake juice recipe above minus the water, plus: 4 TBSP ACV 1 TBSP Ginger 2 quarts cold-brewed green tea (or coffee) (for those of you who aren't strict Keto, add 2-4 TBSP of raw, unfiltered honey - the health benefits of honey outweigh the carb-count, IMHO and my fasting glucose is 80-90 with two to four tablespoons per day. Also - WARNING - apple cider vinegar, ginger, allulose and Epsom salts aid digestion and gut health, but consuming large quantities throughout the day can lead to gastrointestinal discomfort of the explosive variety. Moderation in all things). I'll let you know how it turns out.

[@SeriousKeto]

That sounds yummy. I look forward to hearing your results, so please share. 🙂👍

[@cyranobuckminster1970]

@@SeriousKeto It works! My True Lemon and Lime came in the interim and I added them along with Snake Juice and Switchel ingredients to my cold-brewed green tea. Still has the saltiness, but the tea (and lemon/lime) completely masks the ACV smell and taste. Very refreshing! Two (three) birds with one stone, so to speak. Speaking of stones, a caveat to this would be the diuretic effect of the caffeine in the tea (depending on how long/strong you brew it) might be detrimental if you flush out too much liquid leaving the salt from the snake juice in your system (kidneys) perhaps? Your thoughts?

[@SeriousKeto]

@@cyranobuckminster1970 I'm not qualified to answer that question. I'm glad the recipe experiment worked out.

[@-.Steven]

Ok Steve, only you and I can see this post, no one else. When you put your container in the fridge my ingredient policeman sirens went off (especially that miracle whip, Ugh! 🤢) but then I realized you are the only Keto person in your home, so I breathed a sigh of relief. My wife works in a doctor's office, big pharma doctor's office, and the doctor I occasionally see in that office said to my wife, something close to, "Oh sure, you'll lose weight on Keto, but once you stop, you'll gain it all back." And my wife has said that to me several times, and it just dawned on me how asinine that thinking is! It's like saying, OK, if you eat healthy and lose weight, then go back to eating cake and ice cream you'll just gain all that weight back. I guess I'd never considered how stupid (to me) that thinking is! I've heard other sensible doctor's (mostly chiropractors I think) say that you don't want to get healthy so you can go right back to what made you sick / fat in the first place. But that's the thinking of this doctor I know personally. 🤯 🙄 Thanks for letting me rant.

[@SeriousKeto]

That's a common refrain amongst the anti-keto people. But the same could be said of any dietary lifestyle and it seems rather self-evident - if you go back to eating like crap, you're going to gain weight and have health issues. You could say the same thing about exercise. You could say the same thing about playing guitar or any skill. "When you quit practicing, you're going to quit being good at it."

[@-.Steven]

@SeriousKeto Haha! So True!

Thanks for the bulk formula. This can be a new addition to the pantry

[@brendashope1558]

I always appreciate a budget friendly alternative. Thank you so much!

[@prbnstn7538]

Nice and simple. I have been making 2qts of electrolyte drink with an electrolyte powder. This looks like it could save some money. Thanks.

[@charlesj.7978]

Thank you Steve, this is just what I needed. I've been using a premade keto friendly electrolyte replacement for years, but at 50 bucks a month, it adds up. With this recipe, I can make a ton for the same price!!! You're the best 🎉

[@SeriousKeto]

$50 should pretty much buy you a lifetime supply of this. If you're making it in bulk, I do recommend desiccant packets, especially if you're using True Lemon or True Lime powder. The will keep it from clumping. I use these: amzn.to/3RVMe27

[@charlesj.7978]

Thank you for the breakdown on making this in bulk and using the food processor.Ive got to do this! I have recently purchased all those True Citrus Packet flavors in bulk and enjoying them.

Thanks, Steve! This is so much better than buying electrolyte powder.

[@joannarippon3910]

Last week I saw you mentioned Snake Juice on a Live. I got all the ingredients and made a batch. I’m tweeking the flavoring to see what I like. Thank you so much for the bulk recipe as this is what I’ll be doing!! Saves so much time! BTW I made only 24 hours on my Fast. That makes 6 this month!! (I IF daily now for over 4 years)

[@reikiwithcary2682]

Thanks Steve- a concoction like this actually saved my life about 36 years ago or so... good to see it's still a valued tool in wellness. Enjoy the rest of the fast! And see you next time

[@carollizc]

What a great recipe, especially for when it gets really hot in summer. The entire family could use it then, not just the ones doing keto, and it would save a lot of money.

[@donnajacques3781]

THANK YOU, Steve!!!! I just threw out a bunch of LMNT. I didn’t realize how it was affecting my diabetes. And THANK YOU so much for your transformation series. Just caught it this morning for the first time and you’ve inspired me to get back on the wagon. Weight loss is so very difficult for me and I think I was just going about it wrong, not getting to the root of it.

[@SeriousKeto]

I’m glad I could be helpful. 🙂

[@daveshupak9840]

Steve, thanks for sharing an easy, affordable way to make electrolyte drinks. Your Pink Floyd shirt was an extra bonus! The Colorado Floyd tribute band concerts that I love to attend are a unique, psychedelic, no drugs required experience.

Cole Robinson is the pioneer of the Snake Diet. He wrote the book on it.

[@SeriousKeto]

Good info. Thanks.

[@billiehunt948]

Before KETO my favorite beverage was strawberry lemonade - I use lemon juice and strawberry LookAid powder. When I made this recipe I used lemonade and looked on the KoolAid package and used some of that "powder". It sure helped the taste.

[@SeriousKeto]

Sounds great!

[@ginacurry4878]

I LOVE this!! I also love that you did it in bulk! Thank you!❤😊

[@nosretep1960]

I use saltpeter now, potassium nitrate, instead of potassium citrate. Test at high level nitric oxide. The extra wood is annoying, but since nitric oxide is by far the #1 risk factor for heart attack, I tolerate it. @5g potassium/d so I can crank the sodium chloride 7.5+ and maintain homeostasis.

[@OTatime]

Thank you for sharing this recipe. I have a simple formula for an electrolyte drink that has been approved by my doctor AND is right for me. I use a quarter teaspoon of Morton’s Lite Salt in 12 ounces of water with an added zero calorie flavoring. I already take magnesium supplements twice daily (magnesium L-threonate, magnesium glycinate) so I’m not looking for that in my electrolyte drink. Some people panic about potassium in lite salt, but potassium is an electrolyte and found in commercial electrolyte beverages. Most people don't get enough potassium in their diets. A quarter-teaspoon serving of one potassium chloride salt substitute contains about 800 milligrams (mg) of potassium, or about one-sixth of the daily recommended intake for potassium, which is 4,700 mg. This beverage is my only daily use of lite salt…or any salt for that matter. Obviously, you should do as I did: Check with your physician and have your levels checked via a blood panel as often as recommended. What I am doing is right for me…perhaps not right for others.

[@SeriousKeto]

Potassium is hard to get in your diet - especially if you're doing keto. If you look at the actual percentages in most potassium supplements, it's usually around 2% of the recommended amount per capsule/tablet.

[@OTatime]

@@SeriousKeto Indeed. My blood potassium levels average 5.2 on a reference range of 3.5-8.1 (mEq/L).

[@gigivarnum]

You can also add any keto-friendly liquid water enhancement drops if you want a different flavor besides lemon-lime (which I have a mental block about because that's what my mother gave us as sick kids LOL)

[@happyferret7450]

Oh - love the simplicity and the $$ savings!

[@starfire8221]

Saving this one. Currently taking electrolytes from Keto Chow. But it’s good to know I can do them myself. Happy fasting. Thanks

[@yvonne11972]

Thank you so much, this comes in handy for my fast right now and it tastes pretty good even without sweetener. I made 1 liter bottle to try with one pack of tru lime and I'll try it with my soda stream next :)

I had received my order of SALTT couple days ago and love it. I like to make Sole water to help with sodium. I like your recipe due to all the electrolytes are represented. Thank you

Morning Steve, does it matter much of Magnesium used? Other recipes seen making LMNT copy with magnesium malate.

Awesome! I've gotta try this. I didn't know I could do lemon or lime juice without breaking a fast. I've been doing a 5 day water fast during the week and eating Keto on weekends the last month. While I'm water fasting I'm doing Ultima electrolyte powder, but need to supplement that with 1/2 Tsp of Himalayan and 1/4 tsp No Salt. So the Ultima is really just expensive flavoring. Also taking the magnesium in pill form currently. I'm saving a bunch on food costs right now obviously. This will save a ton on buying drink powder and it's got everything. Thanks for the tip

[@Leonardokite]
