Here’s A Simple Stacked Water Recipe You Can Try

According to people following the trend, a bottle of stacked water can include water, supplements like creatine, collagen, citrus, flavoured electrolytes and lots of ice. But the best part is that people can customise the recipe according to what they prefer. Jeffrey (@heyjeffreyshouse)  shared how people can make stacked water with ingredients like: 

• Blended carrot
• 2 tsp Collagen peptides
• Lime or orange juice
• 1 Yakult
• 1 scoop creatine (optional)
• ½ tsp sea salt for electrolytes
• ½ tsp vanilla
• Lots of ice
• Just mix everything, and your stacked water is ready.

You can customise the ingredients as you like and even add or remove anything you don’t have. You can also top your stacked water with chia seeds for fibre and add chopped fruits to the jar. Think of it like detox water and add whatever fruits you prefer. At the end of the day, it is simply a new trend that might help you stay hydrated this summer!
