When the sun’s blazing, your sweat rate’s off the charts, and your legs feel like toast by mile 3—you don’t need another lukewarm sip of water. You need this.
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups cold coconut water (natural source of potassium + electrolytes)
- Juice of 1 lemon or lime (adds sodium + flavor)
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (natural glucose for energy)
- A pinch of sea salt (for sodium balance)
- ½ cup frozen pineapple or watermelon chunks (extra potassium + flavor)
- ½ cup ice cubes
Optional Add-ons:
- A few fresh mint leaves (refreshing & anti-inflammatory)
- ½ tsp chia seeds (for slow-release hydration)
- Splash of water if you want it less slushy
Instructions:
- Toss everything into a blender.
- Blend on high until slushy-smooth.
- Taste and adjust: more salt if you’re drenched in sweat, more honey if you like it sweeter.
- Pour into a glass (or insulated bottle if you’re on-the-go), add a straw, and enjoy immediately!
