When you think about recharging after a workout, what is your best plan of action? Do you go for the carbs or immediately rehydrate? Or do you get in some gentle stretching, take a quiet walk, and relax?

Regardless of your recovery method, an IMBHO contributor introduced us to something else you might want to consider making part of your post workout routine: LMNT from Elemental Labs. 

Here’s what our contributor had to say: 

When I discovered this recharge drink from Elemental Labs, I was super excited. It didn’t have any sugar or “dodgy” ingredients added, which you often find in other products you consume during and after workouts. 

LMNT is smooth with just the right amount of salt to even me out in the most seamless way, even after one of my toughest workouts.  

With this product, I found I don't need to replenish with food for quite some time. And if we’re being honest, isn’t that what we all want – a product that helps curb that “I’m starving and need to cram food in my mouth” post-workout feeling?! 

It comes in three flavors: Citrus Salt, Raw Unflavored, and Raspberry Salt. The raspberry was my personal favorite. It gives a little smidge of flavor to go with the salty goodness of this drink.   

Each packet provides you with the necessary sodium, potassium and magnesium you need for an excellent workout recovery. You can get a 30-packet box for $45.00, or you can subscribe and save and only pay $39.00, which equates to $1.30 per packet. That’s totally doable on price. 

Also, the packets are convenient for the on-the-go person like me, and I can throw a couple of packets in my purse, car, or gym bag and easily open to mix in a bottle of water as needed. This creates zero waste and instantaneous recovery hydration that works great. 

In my brutally honest opinion, I’m making LMNT part of my new workout routine, so it’s a Yes! from me.

Editor’s Note: One of our taste testers tried this product, too, and her response was priceless.

“Where was this product when I was pregnant and craving a margarita?!”

With both the citrus and raspberry flavors, it does take you to Margaritaville, though it’s much lower in calories and there is no alcohol, of course. #nosugar #nocarbs

This company has a great story, too. You can hear all about it from the founder, Rob, in the video below.
