August has arrived, bringing long sunny days, backyard BBQs, and plenty of heat. As temperatures rise, it’s the perfect time to refresh your habits—starting with hydration.
We all know water is important, but drinking enough of it can be easier said than done. The good news? Staying hydrated doesn’t have to mean chugging plain water all day. Nature has your back—with fruits and vegetables that are both tasty and packed with water.
Cucumbers, watermelon, berries, tomatoes, and even zucchini are all hydration heroes. Snack on them fresh, toss them into a salad, or blend them into a smoothie for a cool treat. And if you’re looking for a no-fuss way to boost your water intake, try a DIY infused water.
This month’s featured recipe is a Cucumber, Lime & Mint Infused Water—super refreshing and naturally flavored. Just slice up some cucumber and lime, toss in a few mint leaves, and let it chill. It’s the kind of drink that feels fancy, but takes less than five minutes to make.
Pair it with frozen fruit snacks, a light veggie dip, or a cold peach—and you’ve got yourself a summer snack moment that’s healthy, hydrating, and totally satisfying.
So, here’s to staying cool, eating well, and keeping those water bottles full. Your body will thank you!
