It’s the most wonderful time of the year—to light up with electrolytes.

If ya haven’t heard, the warriors for the winter are sodium, potassium, and magnesium. The wise trifecta helps get our new year mojo on with a much needed energy boost. They keep our skin a-glowing and soreness at bay with healthy hydration. And yes, those healthy ingredients are a mocktail staple for those doin’ a dry January.

LMNT packs the flavors we swoon over here at Elephant into seasonal bundles of …CHOCOLATE. We can sprinkle electrolytes on and into everything—since naughty ingredients like sugar are nowhere in sight.
