Is this drink healthy?

Yes. It uses natural ingredients like coconut water, citrus, and a touch of salt or honey offering hydration without added chemicals or processed sugars.

Can I make it ahead of time?

Yes. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.

What other kind of juice can I use?

You can try lemon, lime, watermelon, or 100% grape juice. Just make sure it's not from concentrate and doesn’t include added sugars.

Can I use plain water instead of coconut water?

Yes, but you'll need to add extra salt and a potassium source (like a bit of citrus or banana) to match the electrolyte balance.

Is this safe for kids?

Yes just reduce the salt slightly for younger children.

What if I don’t like honey?

Use maple syrup, agave, or a tiny bit of fruit juice instead.
