The keto diet is still fairly new. However, over the past few years, it has really gained quite the following. People are seeing how great the keto diet can be!

An important part of keto dieting is making sure your body gets enough energy. Ketone drinks give you the energy you need to fuel you throughout the day.

Not every ketone drink out there tastes good. We wanted to create the perfect, tasty ketones drink using our favorite ketones drink mix plus a few extra additions. We think we nailed it with this tasty recipe!

What are Ketones?

Ketones are energy molecules that your body uses as fuel. The primary energy source for most people is glucose or sugar. However, glucose as an energy source is not very efficient. Your body will get a rush of energy (like a sugar high) and then crash.

When you start a keto diet and eliminate carbs and sugars from your diet, your body needs a new source of fuel. It will immediately switch to using ketones instead of glucose. Ketones are considered to be a better, more efficient energy source. They give your body and brain sustained energy without the harsh crashes.

Once you switch to having ketones be your energy source, you need to make sure you have enough ketones in your diet to give your body the fuel it needs. That is when you need a tasty ketone drink!

Ketones Drink Mix

There are a lot of great ketones drink mixes on the market. Some are better than others. We tried quite a few but loved the Pruvit ketones drink mix the best. Pruvit ketones powders are individually wrapped and labeled as NAT ketones. There are lots of different flavors to try like Raspberry Lemonade and Lime Time.

There are quite a few ingredients in Pruvit ketones drink mixes that help fuel your body. It contains mostly exogenous ketones and caffeine. It has erythritol added as a sweetener and natural flavors, ketone salts and acids. You are sure to get a powder boost with this mix!

Ketone drink mixes are also very convenient. The little packets are simple to throw in your bag and use anytime you are feeling sluggish.

Delicious Ketone Drink Recipe

While ketone drink mixes are tasty on their own, we wanted to make one that’s even better than the regular old packet of powder. Take a look at our ingredients for ketones drink and you will instantly see why our drink is even better.

How to Make a Delicious Ketones Drink

Making our ketone drink is pretty simple. All you need to do is measure and stir! Pour the seltzer into a tall glass first. Add the NAT ketone drink mix next. Adding the drink mix on top of the seltzer helps it dissolve better and prevents it from clumping at the bottom of the glass.

Add the lemon juice to the glass and gently stir everything together. Top the drink with some fresh mint and maybe a lemon wedge to get extra fancy.

You want the powder to dissolve completely. Try not to over stir or the bubbles in the seltzer will disappear. Drink the bubbly ketone drink as soon as possible. It is best when it is freshly stirred and cold.

If you are on a keto diet and looking for a carb-free way to give yourself an energy boost, a tasty ketone drink is your answer. Stock up on ketones drink mixes and seltzer and you will be all set! This is a delicious way to stick to your keto diet and get the energy you need.
