One of the downsides to a ketogenic lifestyle is the electrolyte imbalance that is created when you body washes all of your potassium, magnesium and sodium away when it eliminates the excess water in your body.

When you first start your new keto diet and eliminate carbohydrates, your body is not very happy. It reacts in every negative way that it can to convince you to grab a doughnut or pint of ice cream, when in reality all your body needs is lots of water and to replenish the electrolytes that are rapidly disappearing into the sewer system!

What is Keto Flu?

Keto flu is a combination of symptoms that you may experience when your body goes through carbohydrate/sugar withdrawal.

  • Fatigue
  • Headaches
  • Nausea
  • Constipation
  • Brain fog
  • Moodiness

Sugar is just as addictive as any hardcore drug, and when you remove it from your diet your body reacts in much the same way as it does when you remove heroin or cocaine.

Eating nutrient dense foods, and increasing your water and electrolytes with this Keto Electrolyte Drink will help your lessen the effects of that nasty keto flu.

Keto Electrolyte Drink is light, refreshing and extremely helpful to ward off the harsh effects of keto flu.

Ingredients used is this homemade Keto Electrolyte Drink:

  • The juice of 1/2 of a lemon or lime
  • Bragg raw, unfiltered organic Apple Cider Vinegar
  • NoSalt (sometimes called NuSalt or LiteSalt)
  • Unprocessed sea salt (I used Himalayan Pink)
  • Pure Liquid Stevia
  • LorAnn Oils super strength, 100% pure flavor oil (I used Orange)
  • Sparkling mineral water (I used S. Pellegrino Essenza – Dark Morello Cherry and Pomegranate)
  • A quart-sized Mason Jar
  • Silicone or Metal straw – essential oils will dissolve plastic

How to make Keto Electrolyte Drink with apple cider vinegar:

Add the lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, No-Salt, sea salt and stevia to the mason jar.

Lemon juice, stevia, apple cider vinegar and salt at the bottom of a quart jar.

Fill the jar with sparkling mineral water, I used 2 1/2 cans.

Add the essential oil and stir to combine.

Top off your Keto Electrolyte Drink with sparkling mineral water.

The oil will remain on top, just keep stirring with your straw to combine as you drink. This drink is best served cold. Chill your mineral water or add ice cubes before serving.

Recipe Tips & Tricks

  • I have not tried this yet, but I am sure that LaCroix carbonated water would also work and they have more flavors available.
  • Add more or less stevia based on your own preferences. I added 14 drops!
  • The essential oil helps to cut down the smell and taste of the vinegar. Regular extract is not as strong and contains alcohol, so stick with your favorite flavor of oil.
  • This recipe has been adapted from Dr. Berry’s Ketoade recipe on YouTube.

More delicious recipes that use essential oils:

  • Orange Chocolate Fat Bombs
  • Mint Chocolate Fat Bombs

Note:

You will also need to increase your Magnesium intake, especially if you are starting out deficient like I was. I did not include magnesium in this drink, I prefer to take Magnesium tablets throughout the day. (5 mg per pound of body weight)

Enjoy!!
