I've been buying the big cans of gatorade powder lately because I've been busy and they are cheap. But they are still absurdly expensive for what is essentially just salt with food coloring and artificial flavor, and I dislike how much sugar it contains.

Just curious - what are the chia seeds for?

Well, the idea is that they absorb the liquids and then slowly release them back into your body over a longer period of time thus helping you stay hydrated better.
