Coconut water is naturally rich in potassium but fairly light on sodium, and this coconut water electrolyte drink fixes exactly that. A serving of Saltivate Raw Unflavored adds 800mg of sodium, about 2g of salt, with no sweeteners and no flavoring. The light salty edge actually makes good coconut water taste a little brighter, the way salt sharpens fruit. Mix one after a long, sweaty session in the heat, or whenever plain water is not enough.

Serving suggestions and variations
- Frozen version. Blend it with a cup of ice and a few chunks of pineapple for a quick slush.
- Flavored swap. Mango Pineapple leans the glass fully tropical; Raw Unflavored keeps the coconut front and center.
- Serve it cold. Coconut water tastes best, and carries the salt best, straight from the fridge.
