September has a way of pressing the reset button.

Summer holidays are over, school and work routines are back, and suddenly we're all trying to get back into a little more structure.

For many of us, that means revisiting the basics: getting enough sleep, moving more, eating well and, of course, staying hydrated.

But staying hydrated doesn't have to mean another bottle of plain water. And adding electrolytes doesn't have to mean reaching for a brightly coloured sports drink.

With elete™, you can simply add electrolytes to many of the drinks you already enjoy.

Electrolytes don't have to mean another sports drink

When you think of electrolytes, you might think of sports drinks. But electrolytes aren't exclusively for athletes.

They're essential minerals that play an important role in fluid balance, muscle function and nerve signalling. We naturally lose electrolytes through sweat, particularly during exercise or in hot conditions.

elete™ provides four essential electrolytes, plus trace and ultra-trace minerals, without sugar, calories, artificial flavours or fillers. And because it's virtually flavourless, it can be added to your favourite drinks without changing their taste.

So rather than changing your routine, you can make electrolytes fit into it.

Can you add elete™ to drinks other than water?

Yes. One of the benefits of elete™ is its flexibility. It can be added to hot or cold drinks – and even food.

So, as September routines get back underway, why not experiment with some of the drinks you already have at home?

7 drinks to try with elete™

1. Squash or cordial 🥤
Already enjoy a glass of squash or cordial? Add elete™ to your usual drink for an easy way to incorporate electrolytes without changing the flavour.

2. Smoothies 🥤
Whether it's berry, banana, green or tropical, elete™ can be added to your favourite smoothie. It's particularly convenient after exercise, alongside your usual post-workout nutrition.

3. Kombucha 🍹
If kombucha is already part of your routine, try adding elete™ for a simple way to incorporate electrolytes into something you already enjoy.

4. Fruit juice 🍊
Orange, apple, pineapple or your favourite blend can all work. Fruit juice already contains naturally occurring sugars, so there's no need to add anything extra.

5. Herbal and iced teas 🧊
Herbal teas and homemade iced teas are another easy option, particularly while the weather is still warm. And when autumn arrives, you can switch back to your favourite hot brew.

6. Protein shakes 🥛
If you're heading to the gym or exercising regularly, why not add elete™ to your usual protein shake? It's a simple way to combine your existing post-workout drink with electrolytes.

7. Alcohol-free drinks 🍸
From sparkling water and fresh fruit combinations to mocktails and alcohol-free cocktails, elete™ can be added to cold drinks to give your creations an electrolyte boost.

What about coffee and hot drinks?

Yes, you can add elete™ to hot drinks too – including coffee ☕

It won't change the caffeine content, of course, but it can be an easy addition to an existing morning routine. And as the weather gets cooler, there's something rather appealing about getting your electrolytes from a warm drink.

How much elete™ should you add?

The general recommendation is 2.5ml per 1 litre of water or drink – equivalent to one capful from the 25ml Pocket Bottle, or around half a teaspoon.

This dilution can be used whether you're adding elete™ to water, juice, a smoothie or another drink.

Always follow the recommended dilution guidance and, if you're taking prescription medication or are under the care of a healthcare professional, speak to them before using electrolyte supplements.

Making hydration easier as routines restart

The best habits are often the ones that don't feel like another job to do.

That's particularly true in September, when mornings get busier and evenings fill up with work, school, exercise and everything in between.

So instead of adding another complicated wellness habit to your list, look at what you're already doing.

Making a smoothie? Add elete™.

Having a protein shake after the gym? Add elete™.

Enjoying an iced tea or coffee? You can add it there too.

With elete™, hydration doesn't have to look or taste the same for everyone.

So, what will you add elete™ to?

Water might be the classic choice, but it certainly isn't the only one.

From smoothies and kombucha to coffee, protein shakes and alcohol-free drinks, elete™ gives you the flexibility to add electrolytes to the drinks that already fit into your day.

As we settle back into our routines this September, perhaps the easiest way to make hydration a habit isn't to add something new – it's to make something you already do work a little harder.
