Redmond Re-Lyte Electrolyte Mix, Lemon Lime, 15 Packets, 3.44 oz

Redmond is a Utah company best known for Real Salt, an unrefined salt mined from an ancient seabed deposit near the town of Redmond in central Utah. Re-Lyte is the drink mix built on that salt: a fine powder in a lemon lime flavor, sweetened with stevia leaf extract rather than sugar.

The carton holds 15 single-serve stick packets. Tear one open into 16 to 18 oz of cold water and shake or stir until the powder dissolves; a lidded bottle does this faster than a spoon in a glass. The taste is tart and distinctly saline, and shoppers who find it strong tend to stretch one stick across a larger bottle, or split a packet between two drinks over the course of a morning.

The packet format is the point. Each stick is a measured dose that stays sealed until you use it, so these tend to live in a bag, a desk drawer or a car cup holder rather than on the shelf beside the pantry salt.
