Refreshing Watermelon Juice
By Isabel Smith, MS, RD, CDN
This hydrating summer juice is refreshing, seasonal and will help you stay hydrated and feeling energized even on the hottest of days. Both watermelon and chard contain potassium and magnesium that are key electrolytes that promote hydration and fluid balance. Potassium is also a nutrient that we often lose through sweat, so it’s key to keep hydrated with good sources of potassium and fluid in general. Try this refreshing summer juice as a meal or snack replacement, or take it with you hiking or playing tennis to keep you cool and hydrated. Enjoy!
