Summer is only weeks away, which means more hours of daylight, higher temperatures, and humidity!
As the seasons change, having hydration on hand can help your body move longer and recover quicker.
Despite the impending warmer days, it’s important to remember that hydration is key all year round—in January when the temperatures are low and the sun is gone, and in June when the sticky, steamy heat is all too familiar. Hydration transcends seasons and activity levels—our bodies need water to operate around the clock. Water helps maintain a normal body temperature, lubricates joints, and removes waste from the body. But anything that increases fluid loss—physical activity, hot weather, and even illness—requires more water intake. So, let this hydration guide fuel your body all summer long; but remember to keep it in your back pocket even in cooler temperatures.
Just the Essentials
When it comes to hydration, water is always the best option and Essentia Water takes it to the next level. Essentia Water is purified, ionized alkaline water. Alkaline water is simply water that has a pH higher than 7, and ionization helps to remove the bitter-tasting acidic ions. Essentia Water is purified by removing unwanted particles through microfiltration and reverse osmosis. All of these things give Essentia Water a clean, smooth taste.
Clean Hydration for All Activities
ROAR hydration
There’s truly nothing better than refreshing fruity flavor after summer activities! ROAR Hydration offers a low-sugar, low-calorie sports drink filled
with antioxidants, vitamins, and electrolytes packed in a colorful bottle. Made only with USDA-certified organic ingredients, like coconut water. Choose from these “fun in the sun” flavors: Georgia Peach, Cucumber Watermelon, Mango Clementine, and more!
Knudsen Recharge
Knudsen Recharge doesn’t include the complicated ingredients in typical sports drinks, keeping their ingredient list short—water, fruit juice, and sea salt. Fruit juice is completely farm-to-bottle, meaning every Recharge drink is non-GMO and USDA-certified organic. Their four flavor options keep the decision making no-hassle—choose from Lemon, Grape, Mixed Berry, or Orange.
Organic Nooma Hydration
If you need a salty pick-me-up with a fruity punch, Nooma Hydration offers a plant-based sports drink with 505mg of electrolytes and simple ingredients: organic fruit flavors, Himalayan pink salt, and coconut water. Plus, you can enjoy a hydrating beverage in a completely plastic-free container. All Nooma hydration drinks are certified organic and come in a Tetra Pak bottle with a plant-based paperboard cap.
For the Plant Lovers
Vita Coco Coconut Water
Looking for a hydration beverage that’s more fun than water, but lower fat and lower calorie than a typical sports drink? Vita Coco Coconut Water is perfectly hydrating and full of electrolytes with a nutty, but refreshing taste. Vita Coco is a Certified B Corporation and all products are non-GMO and USDA-certified organic with only one ingredient in their products—coconut water! Coconut water is perfect for post-workout hydration, but can also be a sneaky way to fit hydration into your daily life—add it into a smoothie or as a mixer on a summer afternoon.
Woodstock Organic Banana Water
If coconut water is not quite your thing, but you still want plant-powered hydration, try Banana Water instead! Made with potassium-rich heirloom bananas, it has a natural source of electrolytes without the sodium. Woodstock Banana Water offers their no-sugar-added banana water; but for something fun, try out Chocolate Banana, Blueberry Banana, and Strawberry Banana flavors.
