The heat is on (like triple digits on), which means hydration and electrolytes are a must! Fruits are especially great for hydration – they offer electrolytes, enzymes and more water than most foods. Watermelon is the queen bee of hydrating fruits. It’s in the name after all! This magnificent fruit is antioxidant-rich, with vitamin A and lycopene. It’s also naturally sweet and thirst-quenching, making it a superb post workout treat.
A big, ol’ hunk of watermelon stands great all on its own. But, it’s also fun to change things up…like add a splash of tart to compliment the sweet.
Wowza, this Watermelon Citrus Juice is a game-changer!
