Agua Fresca for Hydration

[WinterSown]

A couple of weeks back my cardiologist knocked me off all supplements, everything now has to come from whatever I eat and drink. I keep a jug of water on the kitchen sink. Today I crushed some watermelon and added to it the juice of an orange and strained the mix into the water jug. Wow. This is my first try with any aqua fresca but I love it. This isn't sweet at all but so good. Watermelon is loaded with electrolytes and the orange has some too, it does give the water some boost. I'm going to try cucumber and celery next. Does anyone have any combos that they really love? (It's a great way to use up my fresh produce before it dies in the fridge.)

Squeeze of lemon and lime, and some coconut water.

 

Berries.

 

Parsley and cucumber/celery 

 

I often have these type of drinks with a few salty olives or some organic veggie juice (like V8)

For quite some years now, I add a dash of Organic Apple Cider Vinegar and a dash of pure orange to water, makes it taste nice and I read nor Cider Vinegar is supposed to be rather good for you.

I have a new batch on the counter: celery, green apple and cucumber. Nummy. I like making new combos.  I have so much more energy now, it's wonderful.

Have you tried sole?  (Pronounced so-lay). Sole with some lime and some watermelon is a quick drink to make to go.  My favorite summer drink

We are going to try cucumber, fresh mint leaves, lemon juice, and Celtic sea salt.  It is good for hydration and digestion per recommendation of our nutritionist.
