If you’re coming from sugary sports drinks, the LMNT Zero Sugar Electrolytes Variety Pack is going to be a shock to the system. It is unapologetically salty, but once you get used to it, most other "hydration" drinks start to taste like syrupy water. The standout feature of this 12-count variety pack is that it lets you try the core flavors—usually Citrus, Raspberry, Orange, and Watermelon—before committing to a bulk 30-pack. Each packet packs 1,000mg of sodium, which is significantly higher than your average electrolyte mix. It’s a game-changer for preventing headaches and muscle cramps after heavy exercise or a hot day, and because there’s zero sugar, you avoid the typical energy crash. A quick tip: unless you love the taste of seawater, don't mix this in a standard 16oz bottle. It’s much better in at least 24–32oz of water to balance out the intensity. While the price is on the higher end, the clean ingredient list and effective hydration make it a premium choice that actually delivers. Read more
Are these expensive? Yes. Are they worth it? I think so, yes! A few things about these stand out to me about the taste: the flavor themselves, the sweetner, and, of course, the salt. The flavors on these run true. That is to say, when I first tried the watermelon and was expecting bonne bell chapstick or jolly rancher vibes, I actually just got... watermelon! Not too cloying, not artificial, just tasty! I normally really dislike watermelon flavors, but this one is actually my favorite! The lime is also like a tastier Gatorade, and the raspberry and orange are refreshing without beings powdery tasting. I also got a full box of the chili mango, and it's amazing! It actually tastes like mango, like real mango, with that kinda fresh, green edge of taste that a good ripe mango has. So good!! The biggest thing for me, though, is the stevia. As someone who cannot STAND artificial sweetener even in trace amounts (some companies try and do half/half? Yeah, nope! Gross!), and that includes stevia, I was a little hesitant to try this, but the other reviews convinced me. And they were right! I'm pretty sure it is the salt, actually, which covers up the weird cloying edge that something like stevia would normally throw at me, so it's truly serving multiple purposes here. Speaking of salt, I love it! Even at its most concentrated, I do not find it too strong ~ but I also love a marg with a good ring of salt, so could just be me haha. Either way, it totally works and is delicious. I needed an efficient hydrator because of a new medical situation, and one that would not spike insulin, while still being delicious. It definitely does a fantastic job of hydrating, as after one or two days of using, the random charley horses that I would get just from stretching (woe is me) are gone! The health benefits are definitely there! This product ticks every single box! Is it a little expensive? Again, yes. But you can also easily stretch one package between two or more water bottles, which helps give you more bang for your buck. In the end, I 100% reccomend!! Read more
I absolutely love these electrolyte packets from LMNT! I’m currently breastfeeding and drink water all day long, but I still felt like I was constantly thirsty and never truly hydrated. Once I started adding these in, it made such a huge difference. Now, whenever I drink one, I actually feel hydrated and energized instead of still feeling depleted. It’s been a total game changer for me during this stage. The flavors are great, not overly sweet, and they mix really easily in water. I also appreciate the quality of the ingredients compared to other electrolyte drinks. If you’re breastfeeding or just someone who struggles to stay hydrated even when drinking a lot of water, I highly recommend giving these a try! Read more
This was my first time trying electrolytes in general so I did lots of researching and review hunting. The citrus flavor caught me off guard but eventually I was used to it. I like that the salt didn't taste heavy, but I feel like for an everyday supplement the price was kind of high for me so recently switched to the nutricost electrolyte for a friendlier budget.
