Stay Hydrated!

This SUMMER and ALWAYS, STAY HYDRATED!

 

Very often we think we are hungry when actually we are THIRSTY!

AND with all the time you'll be spending outdoors during these warmer weather months, it's important to keep yourself hydrated!

 

WATER is BEST! But things like Unsweet Tea (or lightly sweetened with lemonade and mint is what we love around here!) OR make yourself things like blended frozen fruit with water (aqua fresca) OR even milk (great protein pickup in the afternoon) OR KEEP A PITCHER OF WATER IN THE FRIDGE FILLED WITH CITRUS AND CUCUMBER (a great refreshing way to keep you full and you guessed it, hydrated!) 

 

SO remember, before reaching for that snack,

THINK...Am I REALLY JUST THIRSTY?

Method:

Cut the watermelon flesh from the rind. In a blender, process half the watermelon pieces with 1 cup of water until smooth. Pour through a strainer into a pitcher. Repeat the process with the remaining melon and water. You should end up with about 8 cups of juice. Stir in the lime juice and agave. Pour into ice-filled glasses and garnish with lime slices and mint.
