I make this daily. Only I also add a couple squirts of Stur (sweetened with stevia) or Mio (sweeteners vary by flavor) to further hide some of the saltiness. I know, that makes me a big baby…
This recipe has been a great help. Especially when fasting. Thanks Brenda.

(Final thoughts/recap as I reach the end) Time To Try An Extended Fast! 21 Days or Bust
@Brenda Do you drink all 5 bottles in one day? I am 5 days into a 21 day fast and trying to play with ratios without making myself sick.
That’s just a photo kiddo, not my daily ration. Lol
I mix them all at once.
2 a day unless fasting, then I do drink 3 or 4.
I happen to have one right now as I go into the gym.
That is what I was curious about. I am almost through day 5 of an extended fast and this morning the leg cramps were knocking at my door. I have been keeping up on the lite salt but have not integrated magnesium citrate. I was don’t want to my pants at work! Thanks much from a fellow (ex)Minnesotan
Ever since my ole pal @Donna told me about Calcium citrate, I have NEVER had another leg cramp.
Calcium. The oft forgotten mineral.
Lack of calcium causes leg cramps more often than anyone realizes.
Poke me later and I’ll send a pic of the brand I use.
Do not buy just any calcium, most do not absorb well. Calcium citrate does.
you really need to down the whole bottle of mag citrate for that to happen. Even then there are no guarantees that it will.
@Brenda yes, please tell us what brand / form of calcium citrate. On the 2nd day of a fast, had wicked bad leg cramps last night, even though been eating salt & butter & broth.
BTW, I only take one tablet a day, not the recommended dosage of 2 or 3… I only need a bit of supplementing. No need for more than one tablet a day
@Donna said that is enough. It must be. No leg cramps over here for TWO YEARS NOW
So… I made some a couple of days ago because I’m planning a 3-day fast and wanted to see if this was something I could drink to help me get through it. I didn’t think my electrolytes were out of whack. I drank 48 oz of this stuff and HOLY COW! It was like someone de-greased my brain. I felt so much better and I didn’t even know I felt bad! This is definitely something I will be adding to my daily regime and will definitely be drinking some during my fast. This was fantastic! Thanks @Brenda.
so I need some ketoade that I dont hate drinking? Mainly for my long bike rides - something i can drink on the bike that tastes good …
granted im only 15 days into the keto diet, but after 30 miles ,… i feel like hell… i want to try to keep my electrolytes up during the ride and see if that helps.
You can also add sweetener and or lemon etc. I have been adding aromatic citrus bitters lately
My daily ketoade is 1/2 of a Nuun Energy tablet, 1/4 tsp Morton Lite Salt and 4 or 5 drops of Stevia in a 750ml Camelbak Eddy. I’m still experimenting for on the bike, but will likely go with a full Nuun and more salt.
Nuun tablet nutrition:
Sodium: 360 mg
Potassium: 100 mg
Magnesium: 25 mg
Calcium: 13 mg
Vitamin C: 38 mg
Niacin: 20 mg
Vitamin B6: 2 mg
Vitamin B12: 6 mcg
Caffeine: 40 mg
Other ingredients include:
Caffeine sourced from green tea extract
Plant based sweetener monk fruit and a touch of stevia leaf extract to provide a crisp and light sweetness
Non-gmo sourced dextrose to increase the speed of absorption and hydrate you faster
Avocado oil for processing
Yep, but haven’t been able to find that info. Your recipe is simpler, and known.
