Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a high-speed blender, gather all ingredients for your Nature's Gatorade, excluding ice: 1 cup of coconut water, 1/4 cup of citrus juice, 1/8 teaspoon of mineral salt, maple syrup for sweetness, and 1 cup of filtered water with the choice of fruits or vegetables.

  5. Give the drink a good stir to ensure all flavors meld together. Serve immediately while cold.
