Low Iodine Sea Salt Lemon Water
Bright, tangy, and refreshing, this simple lemon water is the kind of drink that feels like a reset button in a glass. The squeeze of fresh lemon juice brings a clean citrus lift, while a small pinch of fine sea salt adds just enough mineral depth to make it taste like more than plain water. For anyone navigating a low-iodine protocol, hydration can sometimes feel like a minefield — many electrolyte drinks and flavored waters contain additives or iodized salt that quietly sneak in where you least expect them. This recipe sidesteps all of that by keeping things completely transparent: fresh lemon, cold water, sea salt, and nothing else. Sea salt is naturally low in iodine compared to standard table salt, making it the right call here. It comes together in under two minutes and is endlessly drinkable on its own or alongside a meal.
