Choosing a Clean Electrolyte Mix
For a cleaner option, I recommend looking for electrolyte mixes made without artificial dyes, artificial flavors, or artificial sweeteners. Some good options include Cure Hydration, GoodOnya, and Instant Hydration.
When shopping for electrolytes, I recommend avoiding artificial food dyes like Red 40, Yellow 5, and Blue 1, artificial sweeteners like sucralose and aspartame, and unnecessary fillers.
What You Will Need
- 4 cups fresh green grapes, washed and dried
- Juice of 1 lime
- 3 (0.25-ounce) packets electrolyte drink mix
How To Make Them
- In a large bowl, combine the grapes and lime juice.
- Toss until all of the grapes are evenly coated. If there is excess liquid in the bowl, pour it off.
- Sprinkle 2 electrolyte packets over the grapes and gently toss until evenly coated. Line a large baking sheet or tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Spread the grapes into a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Sprinkle the remaining electrolyte packet evenly over the grapes.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze until the grapes are firm, about 2–3 hours.
- Enjoy immediately or transfer the grapes to an airtight container and store in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Recipe Tips
- Make sure the grapes are completely dry before adding the lime juice.
- Use your favorite electrolyte flavors to create different varieties.
- Red grapes work well too if you prefer a sweeter grape.
- Freeze in a single layer to prevent the grapes from sticking together.
Storage
Store leftover grapes in an airtight freezer-safe container for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy straight from the freezer.
