💦 Our RDs Explain Electrolytes


Hi Reader,

Getting ‘enough electrolytes’ is a common topic of discussion these days, but many people don't really know what they are or how they work in the body. We break it all down in this new post!

NEW! Our RDs Explain Electrolytes

While many of us imagine a bottle of Gatorade or a banana when electrolytes are mentioned, the reality is a little more complex.


Our Favorite Electrolyte Mix-In

We've tried a lot of electrolytes (drinks and powders) over the years, and (spoiler alert) we have a favorite: It's LMNT.

For a limited time, you can get a free sample pack of LMNT with any drink mix purchase. It's a great way to sample all of the different flavors, and will get you through all your hydration needs for the summer. We can't wait to hear what you think of it, too!


What We're Loving Now

  • Jessie wants to be up for any adventure with her kids this summer, so having her Bogg Bag ready to go in her car has been a lifesaver. "I love that the bag is large, stays dry, and is super sturdy. I keep it packed it with towels, suits, sunscreen, hats, non-refrigerated snacks, and other necessities. Psst, the big ones are currently the best price at Scheels online!"
  • Molly loves her Turkish Beach Towels, which are lightweight and dry quickly. "They make pool and beach days so much more enjoyable. A simple shake removes sand, and they get softer after each wash. They also work as a picnic blanket, swimsuit cover up, or even a yoga mat!
  • Ana has been enjoying this Four Sigmatic Mushroom Coffee for several months now. "It's so delicious! I love that I get the taste of coffee with the added benefits of mushrooms, adaptogens, and probiotics." For 25% off your first order use code THEREALFOODDIETITIANS
  • Jess is loving her new Insulated Stainless Steel Shaker Bottle for at home and taking to the gyms or trailhead. "I can enjoy an ice cold protein shake or smoothie on-the-go. The locking lid is a great addition and my drinks stay cold for hours (even in the car)."
  • Stacie is loving this non-toxic Active Skin Repair for Kids. "It not only helps heal and recover cuts and scrapes faster, but also rashes, sunburn, and other skin irritations. It's great for kids because it doesn't sting when applied. It's now a staple and what I reach for most in my first-aid kit!
