Re: Orange Juice
Prepared orange juice contains no less than 400 mg. potassium per 8 onces. It contains very little sodium (5 mg).

Re: Post recovery drinks
One of the follow-up stories on the 2008 Olympics was on the post recovery drinks Phelps, the 11 gold metal winner, uses after his swims and workouts. He has a unique blend of carbohydrate, protein, and fat made for him. NBC said this unique combination is closely matched with “prepared 1% chocolate milk”. I looked up the contents on a government nutritional web site. 1% chocolate milk contains sodium and potassium equal to that of the majority of sports drinks.

Found it.
To get Potassium ad 1/8 tsp KCl (sold as Nu-Salt.) Perhaps “lite salt” is the same? If so, sorry.

Yeah, they look great but they lack a very important ingredient, Potassium. I wonder how hard it is to get food grade Potassium Chloride? I gues I need to do more research.
