Thirst-Quenching Electrolyte Popsicle Recipe

This easy-to-make electrolyte popsicle recipe can easily be whipped up and will be something your whole family loves during the summer months. Don’t be afraid to double or triple the recipe and make a huge batch!

What you’ll need to make this electrolyte popsicle recipe:

4 cups of fresh watermelon chunks
1 cup of coconut water
1/4 teaspoon of pink Himalayan sea salt
4 tablespoons Ameo Life pH Balanced Alkaline Silver Solution
Popsicle molds
Popsicle sticks

Why these ingredients?

Watermelon: Watermelon is approximately 90% water, making it an excellent choice for hydration. Watermelon is a decent source of potassium, which is an essential electrolyte involved in various physiological processes, including fluid balance, muscle function, and nerve transmission. Consuming foods rich in potassium, such as watermelon, can help replenish this electrolyte. Lastly, it contains natural sugars, including fructose, which can provide quick energy during physical activity or on hot days when you may be sweating and losing electrolytes.

Coconut water: Coconut water is naturally rich in potassium, containing more potassium than most sports drinks. Potassium is a vital electrolyte that helps regulate fluid balance, support proper muscle function, and maintain optimal nerve transmission. Consuming coconut water can help replenish potassium levels and restore electrolyte balance. Coconut water also contains a small amount of sodium, another essential electrolyte. Coconut water contains magnesium, an electrolyte involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body. Magnesium plays a crucial role in muscle function, nerve transmission, and energy metabolism.

Pink Himalayan sea salt: Pink Himalayan sea salt is often praised for its mineral content, including electrolytes. While regular table salt (sodium chloride) is the primary source of sodium in our diets, pink Himalayan sea salt contains a variety of minerals in addition to sodium.

Ameo Life pH Balanced Alkaline Silver Solution: I add this to everything that I possibly can! Ameo Life pH balanced Alkaline Structured Silver is the first silver that is actually pH balanced to an Alkalinity level of 7.4 or higher. The body functions best in an alkaline state, and many studies show that bad bacteria and yeast cannot flourish when the body is alkaline, as compared to being in an acidic state. This helps with overall gut health, immune support, and a healthy digestive system. Shop it HERE!

How to make this electrolyte popsicle recipe

Start by removing the seeds from the watermelon chunks. You can do this by either purchasing seedless watermelon or by carefully scooping out the seeds using a spoon.
Place the watermelon chunks into a blender or food processor and blend until you have a smooth puree.
Next, add the coconut water and Ameo Life pH Balanced Alkaline Silver Solution to the blender.
Sprinkle in the pink Himalayan sea salt.
Blend all the ingredients together until well combined. Give it a taste and adjust the sweetness or saltiness if needed. Remember that freezing can slightly dull the flavors, so don’t be afraid to add a bit more watermelon or salt at this stage.
Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion. If your molds don’t have built-in sticks, insert popsicle sticks into the molds.
Place the molds in the freezer and let them set for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely frozen. Overnight freezing is ideal.
Once the popsicles are fully frozen, remove them from the molds by running warm water over the bottom of the molds. This will help loosen the popsicles and make them easier to remove.
Serve and enjoy your homemade Watermelon Electrolyte Popsicles! These delightful treats are not only delicious but also help replenish your body’s electrolytes, keeping you hydrated and refreshed during the hot summer days.
