Gatorade drinks contain five electrolytes
In the clip, which has been viewed 159,000 times to date, Ella began: “Let’s make nature’s Gatorade.”
‘This is one of my favorite drinks to enjoy simply for extra hydration, but also to make a fun little mocktail. And a mocktail is always better in a wine glass.’
The social media star then started making the concoction – starting by adding ice to a glass.
She then used a hand squeezer to squeeze half a lemon, lime and orange “to get all those electrolytes.”
Then the content creator sprinkled Redmond Real Salt from her colorful Dusen Dusen salt mill, “to get those minerals.”
‘Top it off with some coconut water. That gives us a little more electrolytes and hydration,” Ella explained.
‘I have loved add cranberry juice to this. It’s possible help support healthy intestines.’
The health expert then rounded out the drink with sparkling water, a slice of orange as a decorative garnish, and a few drops of digestive bitters — which she explained in her caption were “optional.”

Digestive bitters are made from “herbs, roots, bark, fruit, seeds or flowers,” according to Healthline.
They have a plethora of benefits for your gut health, immunity, inflammation, liver, sugar and appetite control.
She concluded, “Voila! Mocktail as big as my head. Perfection.’

Another said: ‘I wanted to make this. I thought “nature’s Gatorade” was just a cute little nickname for the drink. It really tastes like Gatorade!? I am shocked. So YUM.”
To which Ella replied, “Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy, I’m glad you liked it,” with a heart emoji.
Someone else commented, “You combine every soda flavor to make one super soda.”
According to Healthline‘Electrolytes are minerals that carry an electrical charge.
‘They are in your blood, urine and sweat and are essential for specific processes that ensure that your body continues to function properly.
‘Electrolytes are essential for the functioning of your nervous system and muscles.
‘They also ensure that your body’s internal environment is optimal by keeping you hydrated and helping to regulate your internal pH.’
