How to Drink Hydration Powder (Without Getting It Wrong)

You’re probably here because you picked up a hydration powder (maybe Lyte, maybe something else) and you’re wondering: “Am I even using this right?”

Good question. Because even though hydration powder is simple, using it properly can make a big difference in how you feel.

Here’s exactly how to drink hydration powder to get the most out of every sip.

Choose the Right Time

Hydration powders can be used at different times depending on your goals:
- Before a workout — to prep your body and avoid cramps
- After exercise — to rehydrate and recover faster
- First thing in the morning — to replace fluids lost overnight
- When traveling — to beat dry air and jet lag
- After a night out — yes, they help with hangovers too

How to Mix It Properly

Most hydration powders are meant to be mixed with water — not juice, coffee, or smoothies. Stick to about 400-500ml (14-17oz) of cold or room-temp water for the best taste and absorption.

Pro tip: Add powder to water, not the other way around. Shake or stir until fully dissolved. No clumps, no weird texture.

What to Avoid

- Don’t mix with hot liquids (it can mess with the ingredients)
- Don’t double up on servings unless recommended
- Don’t expect energy-drink effects — good hydration works *with* your body, not against it

Clean hydration (like Lyte) gives your body exactly what it needs — nothing more, nothing less.
