When temperatures rise, reach for a thirst-quenching, re-hydrating smoothie.
Smoothie Tips
Create your own refreshing smoothies at home.
- Substitute water for dairy and non-dairy milks and sugary juices. This is a smart, economical way to ensure that you are drinking enough water to combat the summer’s heat.
- Try replacing the liquid in your favorite smoothie with healthy coconut water.
- Try Fruits with high water content - think grapes and melons - are another plus in the hydration equation. And don’t forget veggies: greens and cucumbers boast lots of water.
