Here at MMRC HQ, we’re always on the prowl for cheaper, healthier ways to fuel up before, during, and after our runs. We generally eschew chemical-laden bars, chews, and beverages, but there aren’t many good alternatives on the market—and they’re rarely on the shelves in our corner of the world! These easy recipes from Canyon Ranch for all-natural sport drinks feature super-healthy tart cherry juice (which reduces inflammation in arteries and tired muscles) and current food craze coconut water. Both drinks are high in healthy carbs and potassium, and include sea salt to replenish your sodium, but have no artificial blechy stuff. Bon appetit!
