Recipe: Electrolyte Jello

The classic childhood jello, turned into an electrolyte replenisher. You’re welcome.

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon gelatin
• 1/4 cup boiled water
• 1 3/4 cups water mixed with 1 packet of GU hydration mix
• Optional: 3/4 cup frozen blueberries

Directions:

1. Sprinkle the gelatin into 1/4 cup of the GU powder mixed with water. Whisk until the mixture begins to thicken.
2. Once this mixture has thickened, pour the 1/4 cup of hot water in and whisk.
3. When this mixture is smooth, add the remaining portion of GU mixed with water.
4. Pour the mixture into a loaf pan that has been greased or lined with parchment paper.
5. Place into the fridge and let set for 2 hours. Jello is ready when the top is firm to the touch.
