Hello!

I did some more or less fruitless research on self made sports drinks.

I am looking for drink that contains only vegetables and/or fruit and/or nuts whether fresh, dried or whatsoever. No minerals or refined things whatsoever, e.g. salt or sugar.

Any experience on that?

Bye

Doug Graham also recommends simply soaking dried fruit (like raisins) in water for a day or so. The sweetness of the raisins goes right into the water. It's quite delicious.

He has people work on their 'drink' while they are in training, so they have it perfected when they actually compete.

My idea was to mix carrots with selery, apple and either the soaking water or the soaked arame, dulse, nori and this kind of stuff.

What do you think?


P.S.
Thanks Jennie :-)

I heard about the young coconut thing too - electrolytes, pure perfect water, easily assimilated carbs, and must be a million more things.

I heard once too that if you mixed young coconut water with green juice it would be about the best substitute for a blood transfusion you could get (i know at some point they used coconut water in the war when they ran out of blood). So this makes me think that combination would be a killer sports drink.
