Summer is here, and while we love the sunny vibes, the heat can leave us feeling wilted faster than a forgotten lettuce leaf. But don’t worry—I’ve got the perfect recipe (literally) to keep you cool, hydrated, and glowing all season long.
Hydration is the key to surviving and thriving in the summer sun. And the secret isn’t just drinking more water (though, yes, you should absolutely do that). It’s about adding a refreshing twist to keep hydration fun, flavourful, and effective!
INFUSED WATER
Plain water? A classic, but let’s take it up a notch. Try adding slices of cucumber, sprigs of mint, or a handful of berries to your water bottle. It’s like a spa day in a glass—refreshing, delicious, and oh-so-summery.
CHILLED HERBAL TEAS
Swap sugary soft drinks for chilled herbal teas. Peppermint tea is naturally cooling, while hibiscus tea is hydrating and packed with antioxidants. Brew a batch, chill it in the fridge, and sip away the heat. Pro tip: Add a splash of fresh lemon or YL’s mineral electrolytes for extra flavour.
HYDRATING FOODS
Some foods are practically water disguised as snacks! Watermelon, cucumber, celery, and oranges are hydration heroes. Make a crisp summer salad or snack on chilled fruit to cool down from the inside out.
BONUS RECIPE: COOL DOWN SMOOTHIE
Blend together:
– 1 cup coconut water
– 1 cup frozen watermelon chunks
– A handful of fresh mint
– A squeeze of lime juice
Voila—a hydrating, cooling treat you’ll crave all summer!
Staying hydrated doesn’t have to be boring or bland. With these tips, you’ll breeze through the heat, feeling refreshed and revitalised. So grab your favourite glass, mix up something cool, and toast to a happy, hydrated summer!
