These sour watermelon electrolyte gummies are the homemade answer to the candy aisle: watermelon juice set with gelatin, sharpened with lime, and finished with a dusting of citric acid for genuine pucker. Two scoops of Saltivate Raw Unflavored dissolve into the batch, adding sodium, potassium, and magnesium with zero sugar and a light salty edge that sharpens the watermelon. Stash them in the fridge for hikes, road trips, or the post workout moment you want a chew instead of a drink.

Serving suggestions and variations
- Sweeter bite. A teaspoon of honey rounds out the lime.
- Firmer chew. Add an extra half tablespoon of gelatin.
- Keep them cold. Gelatin softens in heat, so these live in the fridge, not a gym bag.
