For whatever reason, I have lived in some of the driest parts of the country. I grew up in Eastern Washington, spent a few lovely years in high-altitude dry Colorado and am now in the driest place so far, Tucson. Here in the Sonoran desert having days of single digit humidity is relatively common. Drinking anything other than water sometimes seems a waste of time unless we know the beverage will actually increase our hydration levels. Coconut Juice or water on the other hand is one of the few drinks I will reach for beyond water to keep me hydrated. I have been a fan of Coconut Water since I first started seeing it through my Bikram Yoga classes and at health food stores. I was drinking it for a while before I truly understood its health benefits and natural electrolytes.
That being said, after a long hike, on a breezy hot dry day, I find myself turning away from my water bottle and craving something a bit sweet, icy cold with crunchy almost numbing ice. The thought of a diet or sugary soda or a red slushie makes me cringe for a number of unhealthy reasons. Mostly because I envision needing more water than I am already trying to keep up with.
Growing up my Mom would freeze watermelon and blend it into a slushie with soda water. Try this electrolyte enhanced variation for the remaining hot & dry days of summer as a post-workout or hiking celebration. This is also a lovely summer ‘mocktail’ for kids or non-drinkers.
