Try some of these easy and hydrating recipes this summer:
ELECTROLYTE DRINK:
In a mason jar or water bottle, add 1 tbsp. organic honey, ¼ C chia seeds, 1 tbsp. organic lemon juice and fill the rest with water. Leave in the fridge overnight and enjoy the next day. Chia seeds are perfect to add to any drink as they retain more water, provide you with water more quickly, and regulate the electrolytes you receive from the drink.
WATERMELON SALAD:
In a small bowl, mix together 1 wedge of organic watermelon chopped, a few cubes of feta cheese, 1 sprig of organic mint, 1 tbsp. Organic lime juice and 2 tbsp. olive oil, and enjoy!
