Which electrolyte drink do you think tastes the best? (lemmy.world)

I'm not eating and I need to keep my electrolytes up. I've been trying different drinks and there pretty much all awful. The best I've had so far is pineapple coconut water. The worst is Powerade Zero fruit punch.

It seems like whatever stuff they put in there in these drinks is the problem because many of them have this horrible bitter taste they try to hide with flavoring.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

And yes, I know Brawndo has electrolytes. Very droll.

Gatorade. Water sucks. Gatorade tastes better and quenches your thirst better, too!

(I especially like the AM/PM exclusive flavor)

I hate Gatorade.

I've only really had 3 that weren't simply "salted" water:

Gatorade, Powerade, and Electrolyt.

Powerade has less sugar, but tastes sweeter somehow, which is I don't like it.

The electrilyt is a cheaper Pedialyte, and it burns for some reason. Like swalloing nicotine gum spit (which is very unpleasant if you've never experience it; imagine heart burn but backwards).

I wanted to like Propel but it just tastes like water someone dropped a single drop of fruit juice into. Which makes it worse than just water.

All three of those are literally salted sugar water... What do you mean not just salted water?

I think he doesn't want to taste the salt
