I used the raspberry flavoring from above and it has no taste or color in the water. I ended up using the entire bag for 100 servings and it's still colorless and tasteless in the mix. I definitely need some kind of decent flavoring that's not lemon-lime. All the other stuff in the mix without flavoring makes me want to puke. Of course even the flavored LMNT makes me want to puke. Maybe I should just add my new mix to my coffee twice a day.Zero strawberry taste and not a hint of sweetness.
The trend with these drinks seems to be to see who can put salt the other company. The liquid IV stuff is fairly pleasant to drink, somebody gave me a box of the LMNT and holy crap it like drinking salt water, apparently there are some that have even more salt/sodium in them.Anyone making your own electrolyte mix? (Lmnt, tailwind, liquid IV, drip drop…) the ingredient lists are pretty simple and it seems like you can buy pretty much all of the raw ingredients online.
I was thinking about doing:
Salt (any difference between himalayan vs sea vs iodized?)
potassium chloride
magnesium (malate, oxide, citrate?)
sugar
either citric acid or powdered lime
Here’s LMNT’s and Tailwind’s ingredient list for reference:

Anyone tried it?
Yeah it’s pretty salty. I think I’m going to cut the sodium in half. I used a LMNT packet for a whole liter and it was about right.The trend with these drinks seems to be to see who can put salt the other company.
