We drink tons of Gatorade in the summer time in Texas. It is very important to restore those electrolytes and carbohydrates that your body desires after a good workout. The only problem is, if you regularly enjoy a long workout, or a day doing yard work, name brand sports drinks can get rather expensive.
Here's a sports drink recipe you can make on your own. The composition of this recipe closely matches that of Gatorade and is a good balance of carbohydrates, and electrolyte salts for extended physical activity. Most researchers agree that the optimal concentration of carbohydrates in a sports drink is about 6%. This concentration actually allows the water to be absorbed more quickly in the body than plain water alone. Try different flavors of Kool-Aid envelopes to find the flavor you like best. Our personal favorites are Strawberry-Lemonade and Pink Lemonade. You could possibly substitute Splenda for the sugar, BUT keep in mind that your body is needing the carbohydrates that the sugar provides and you might not get the desired "electrolyte re-balancing" effect that the full recipe provides. (My night-time leg cramps have almost stopped completely since I started drinking this mix.) -8 oz servings
To cut down on sugar, you can use unsweetened apple cider instead of the regular a.j.
This shake will help you out when you are not really hungry but you need something to eat so you dont skip any meal.

Dana Carpender's egg nog recipe for raw eggs (I use pasteurized). She has another recipe that involves cooking them. Basically, the only low carb eggnog recipe on this site that I could find requires separating the eggs and whipping the whites. This one doesn't. What can I say? I'm lazy that way.
