I've done the same thing. And to keep my electrolytes up - bouillon cubes. One in the morning one in the afternoon.
I prefer the beef bouillon myself.
If I can't get bullion cubes then I just make a cup of salt water, using the "low salt" half potassium half sodium salts. And I just chug that down as fast as I can.
If you have bone broth, adding salt to that in the form of a bouillon cube is just complementary
Bouillon cubes have electrolytes?
Salt is an electrolyte.
Yes. Usually one gram of salt per cube.
If you want to add potassium to that you're welcome to as well, the bullion flavor will mask the potassium and salt flavors
Yup. If chicken stock or beef stock is palatable to you it is an excellent electrolyte source.
That is the best suggestion so far. I love chicken broth. Thanks!
If you read my other reply and nolijil's follow up you can add potassium and magnesium to chicken broth without affecting the flavor at all and it will be nearly a complete electrolyte source. If you can take a couple of Tums a day for calcium as well you will have all of the primary electrolytes covered.
Look into Better than Bullion soup base. It's rather better tasting than the cubes, and you can get it in all kinds of flavors like roasted garlic, mushroom, shrimp, lobster, etc, in addition to their classic beef, chicken, and vegetable bases.
Amazon and Costco both carry them. The soup aisle at your local grocery might also have a selection.
