A Juicy, Fun Way To Take Your Vitamins
While kids (and adults) want great taste, you want to give them the vitamins, minerals, and fiber their growing bodies need. What’s the answer? Watermelon!! Serve it up and everyone wins.
Watermelon is a fun, nutritious way to make sure active kids and adults (let’s be real… most of us don’t drink enough water and are chronically dehydrated) don’t get dehydrated; it’s 92 percent water, plus a whole host of other good electrolytes and vitamins. I lived off watermelon juice during my pregnancy and while I breastfed.
A two-cup serving of watermelon is an excellent source of vitamins A, B6, and C, and it provides 7 percent of the recommended daily value of potassium, which is a staple electrolyte to help keep you hydrated. It’s a great substitution for your other electrolyte mix or drinks during the summer (and really all year). Using a whole food natural electrolyte is always a better bet than a sugary powder that is added to all your water, and is ALWAYS a better choice than a flavored, brightly colored sports drink to replenish your natural salts.
Watermelon also contains fiber and lots of antioxidants. Its beautiful red color comes from all-natural lycopene, an antioxidant also found in tomatoes.
The beauty of watermelon is, it can be eaten at any meal… breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and it’s a wonderful snack for the whole family. Delicious on its own, watermelon is a fantastic ingredient in recipes, too. Try pairing it with mint and goat cheese in a fruit salad, mix up a watermelon salsa or this deliciously refreshing gem:
