Drink packets

Has anyone found a drink that doesn’t have that salty/thick taste to it that electrolyte drinks often have? I am new to my diagnosis and just started trying to find a quick drink I can pick up at the store until I can afford the recommended “normalyte” after reading a bunch of different “drinks for pots” threads I opted to try liquid iv passion fruit. I found it very salty tasting and hard to stomach as I don’t know how to describe it other than a thick water or slime texture. I know I need the sodium to help symptomatically but I’m hoping there’s a drink brand or packet or powder tablet that doesn’t taste so unbearably salty. I think I can handle the texture but not the salt taste lol! I’m autistic so I could just be being taste sensitive but I’m willing to try a bunch of different recommendations!
