In addition to salting my food, here are delicious recipes to boost my daily salt intake:
Salted apple cider
This is daily drink. It helps fight off electrolyte issues (e.g. muscle cramping):
- 8 ounces glass of apple cider
- 3 grams of fasting salts
Measure salt with digital scale (one of my favorite kitchen tools). Mix with spoon. Enjoy!
Orange juice banana smoothie
This is my hand's down, absolute favorite beverageto make when fruit is in season:
- 8 ounces fresh-squeezed orange juice
- 1 medium overriped banana
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- touch of honey
Blend all of the ingredients for 45 seconds on high. Pour into a glass and devour!
This is the most balanced fruit drink ever invented - loaded with potassium (which is of course an important mineral when boosting our salt intake).
Coconut water
The coconut is awesome in many ways. Most important, it is bursting in potassium.
I make this drink several times a day to boost my salt intake the easy way:
- 6 ounces pure coconut water
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Let the salt dissolve in the coconut water (about 10 minutes).
Stir the mixture. Drink. Enjoy!
DIY V8
Frank offers up this alternative version to the popular tomatoe juice:
- a carrot
- a stick of celery
- a tomato (the riper the better)
- at least a teaspoon of salt
- water to suit preference
As one gives up salt guilt, put in as much salt as you like. Get wicked.
Other adds if you have them - any combination to your taste:
- a clove of garlic
- grated ginger
- lemon juice
- coconut oil
- a raw egg
Feeling really fancy? Here are some good halides:
- 3 drops of lygol solution
