Which electrolyte drink do you think tastes the best? (lemmy.world)

I'm not eating and I need to keep my electrolytes up. I've been trying different drinks and there pretty much all awful. The best I've had so far is pineapple coconut water. The worst is Powerade Zero fruit punch.

It seems like whatever stuff they put in there in these drinks is the problem because many of them have this horrible bitter taste they try to hide with flavoring.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

And yes, I know Brawndo has electrolytes. Very droll.

Isn't it salty though?

That's what we're going for right? You want electrolytes it's going to taste salty

Most of them taste bitter, not salty.

If I had to guess, I would think that's from their artificial sweeteners having a bitter aftertaste.

Not bad. It's only a small amount.
