Hydrate!

If you are working out a lot you are most likely sweating a lot and now that it is starting to get really hot and humid out in the city it is not only important to refuel but also to hydrate. A great recipie for a refueling smoothie can be found in one of my previous posts called "post work out fuel". In addition to the post work out fuel recipie, I thought it would be nice to share another hydrating smoothie recipe that I found on one of my favorite blogs called Mind Body Green. 

A cooling and refreshing summer watermelon smoothie:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cubed watermelon
• 1/2 cup cubed rhubarb
• optional: cucumber which is also super hydrating
• optional: wild frozen blueberries which are also super antioxidants and needed for cell renewal in the summer sun
• 10 leaves of fresh mint

Directions: 

Put all of the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. 

This smoothie is high in antioxidants, vitamin B6, vitamin C, potassium and magnesium. It is great to have in the summer heat for your skin and hair. Staying hydrated helps you feel more energized, which also helps you feed your skin from the inside out!
