Addition to my Small Crazy Idea

Posted by CIEIRMusic - June 3rd, 2023


Still busy doing my thing, but what I am posting this while I'm still free. Now everyone at this point that's followed me has watched me make an experimental drink using White Tea and Chlorophyll and some natural fruit juice. My goal was at the time to make a drink that would improve on a diet no matter what someone eats or their lifestyle choices related to poor health. What I didn't anticipate was inadvertently make a cheaper stop smoking aid.


Due to recent events I tested this drink on myself and through hard work under the sun, I was not only able to stay hydrated better than ordinary water, but it also gave me a massive energy boost. But I knew it wasn't enough. Caffeinated drinks, even the healthy ones dry you out fast. So even if you love your morning coffee and it helps you through your day,, it's counterproductive if you're say out in the sun for 4 - 8 hours a day. Also like a certain commercial says, when you sweat you lose more than just water. Which leads me to what I'm doing right now.


Now you all know about the Tea, but what I didn't tell you was I did what is known as a "Double Blind" method throughout the thing in which I mixed the same ingredients minus the tea into some Chlorophyll water. To make a comparison:

On the left is just green tea steeping, (Green Tea this time, because I couldn't find the White) on the right is just Chlorophyll water. However over the months of me working on this thing, I tested both out. The results regarding the water only method were flimsy at best and may have contributed to lower my cravings for smokes. Also I still smoke, mainly because I wanted to see if it worked again and I wouldn't give out any info on how to make this stuff, that I wouldn't test on myself. That said I theorize it's because I kept constantly introducing more Chlorophyll into my system.


Anywho, it leads me to my next ingredient. I completely forgo the juice ingredient for now because I couldn't find a pure enough juice, but I did however find something that could help better:

This is Gatorade Powder. Now like many other kids from the 90s and after, Gatorade was popular shit. As a kid I had no idea it even came in a powder form despite there being big jugs of it at football games:


But in this case, it came in handy for me.


Now the thing about Gatorade and their competing rivals Powerade is that on top of water, they replace Carbohydrates and electrolytes you lose when you sweat, urinate, spit or cry. Stuff like:

  • calcium
  • magnesium
  • chloride
  • phosphate
  • potassium
  • sodium

The only downside of the drink is that it requires you to be active all the time so you can burn off those again and get better in terms of health. So someone sitting down drinking bottle upon bottle of Gatorade would be disappointed that they wouldn't grow up to be Michael Jordan. It's less on the drink and more on the person drinking it. Me I do things that require me to be out for hours, work the muscles until they are sore and dehydrate the hell out of me. Not even accounting the burning sun and the heatwave. So this stuff is actually good for me. But if anyone else is drinking Gatorade or other sports drinks of that variety, be sure to at the very least go on a jog or in place for 20 minutes. Otherwise you may as well be drinking Pepsi.


Naturally I went the same route and started with Chlorophyll in both containers:

The tea makes all the difference in colourization as you can see here in comparison to the water, but that said I put 3 times the usual amount in it, hence why it's almost looking like a black garbage bag.


Now what I have done was simple. It takes three tablespoons of Gatorade powder per two cup of water. So naturally with a 1 L glass bottle water and a 1.5 L Jar of Tea, I'd have to put 6 Tablespoons of powder for the water and 9 in the tea:

Now I picked blue flavoured because I wanted to stick to the blueberry route, if I could find Vitamin C in powder form I'd add that to to lower cortisol. The current result is this:

Now for the container I had to stir constantly as the powder went all the way to the ground. Which is weird because Bottled Gatorade doesn't do that, but hey that's just me. Maybe I should use a mixer instead next time. Lol. God I love trial and error.


However while it's not quite noticeable you can still see bits of blue powder on the bottom and the colouration of both are lightened rather than mixed. They're currently in the fridge as I type this out so I will update you on the taste test. But if this works, I may incorporate it in my whole life.


At this point though I do encourage you to try to make your own at home or even better share your own experiments. Maybe we can learn from one another.


Update 6:45 PM:


I just poured a glass of the water version:

Honestly it looks beautiful as if I just recreated ocean water. I theorize because I used the Blue Flavour, it brought the green in the Chlorophyll out more. Will try the tea next.


Here's the Tea:

Much like the water, the Gatorade brings out a more brighter greenish colour as a result of the blue flavour. Only because the tea is darker in comparison, it looks more like a murky ocean.


The water one tasted like I was drinking Gatorade with no taste to the chlorophyll. The Tea one had a more stronger taste because the flavouring of the green tea balanced with the sweet flavour of the Gatorade.


In terms of taste it passed, I have a long way to go before I know if this makes any difference.

Sweet.

Literally. I tried it and the Gatorade flavour overpowers the tea and the chlorophyll.
